PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the
power requirements specifi ed on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the
plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating
immediately, which could cause a serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power source,
use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
4. RCD
The use of a residual current device with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less at all times is recommended.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING BITS
WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug
from the receptacle to avoid serious trouble.
1. Installing bits
(1) Clean and insert shank of bit into the collet chuck until
shank bottoms, then back it out approximately 2 mm.
(2) With the bit inserted and pressing the lock pin holding
the armature shaft, use the 23 mm wrench to fi rmly
tighten the collet chunk in a clockwise direction (viewed
from under the router). (Fig. 1)
CAUTION
○ Ensure that the collet chuck is fi rmly tightened after
inserting a bit. Failure to do so will result in damage to
the collet chuck.
○ Ensure that the lock pin is not inserted into the armature
shaft after tightening the collet chuck. Failure to do so
will result in damage to the collet chuck, lock pin and
armature shaft.
(3) Be sure to use a chuck sleeve when using a 6 mm bit
with a collet chuck capacity of 8 mm. First insert the
chuck sleeve deeply in the collet chuck, then insert the
bit in the chuck sleeve. Tighten the collet chuck fi rmly as
in step (1) and (2).

When removing the bits, do so by following the steps for
installing bits in reverse order. (Fig. 2)
Ensure that the lock pin is not inserted into the armature
shaft after tightening the collet chuck. Failure to do so
will result in damage to the collet chuck, lock pin and
armature shaft.
HOW TO USE THE ROUTER
Place the tool on a fl at wood surface.
Turn the stopper block so that section to which the cutting
depth setting screw on a stopper block is not attached
comes to the bottom of the stopper pole. Loosen pole
lock knob allowing the stopper pole to contact with
stopper block.
Loosen the lock lever and press the tool body until the bit
just touches the fl at surface. Tighten the lock lever at this
point. (Fig. 4)
Tighten pole lock knob. Align the depth indicator with the
"0" graduation of scale.
Loosen pole lock knob, and raise until indicator aligns
with the graduation representing the desired cutting
depth. Tighten pole lock knob.
Loosen the lock lever and press the tool body down until
the stopper block to obtain the desired cutting depth.
threaded column and moving then down will allow you to
move down to the end position of the bit when the lock
lever is loosened. This is helpful when moving the router
to align the bit with the cutting position.
As shown in Fig. 5 (b), tighten the upper and lower nuts
to secure the cutting depth.
push up the stopper pole so that it is not in the way.
The 2 cut-depth setting screws attached to the stopper
block can be adjusted to simultaneously set 3 diff erent
cutting depth. Use a wrench to tighten the nuts so that
the cut-depth setting screws do not come loose at this
time.
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug
from the receptacle to avoid serious trouble.
Use the template guide when employing a template
for producing a large quantity of identifi cally shaped
products.
As shown in Fig. 7, secure the template guide to the
base of the router with two accessory screws. At this
time, ensure that the projection side of the template
guide is facing the bottom surface of the base of the
router.
A template is a profi ling mold made of plywood or thin
lumber.
When making a template, pay particular attention to the
matters described bellow and illustrated in Fig. 8.
When using the router along the interior plane of the
template, the dimensions of the fi nished product will be
less than the dimensions of the template by a amount
equal to dimension "A", the diff erence between the
radius of the template guide and the radius of the bit. The
reverse is true when using the router along the exterior of
the template.
Secure the template to the workpiece. Feed the router
in the manner that the template guide moves along the
template as shown in Fig. 9.
