block and pole so that, even if the lockleveris released, the router stops at theuniform depth.If you press the fast-feed button on thestopper pole, the pole can be advancedrapidly. Ordinarily the pole moves 1.5 mm(1/16) per turn. Minute depth adjustments

can be obtained by raising orlowering the stopper pole.5

Stopperblock.The stopper block has an adjustment hexbolts which move 1 mm (1/32") per turn.After obtaining the desired depth setting,tighten the hex nut on the bolt with thespanner.

I \ blockNylon nutBy turning the nylon nut, the upper limitof the tool can be adjusted. When the tip

of the bit is retracted more than requiredin relation to the base plate surface, turnthe nylon nut to lower the upper limit formore effective routing.CAUTION :

0Do not lower the nylon nut too low or the bit will dangerously protrude.0Before operating the tool, check to be sure that the router automatically rises to theupper limit.Switch action*To start the tool, position the switch

leverto "ON" side. To stop, to "OFF"side.CAUTIONPrevent accidental starting by making

sure the tool is switched off before youplug it in.Switch lever

Adjustment should not be more than 15 mm (5/8") at once when using straight bit.7Straight guide

.The straight guide is effectively used forstraight cuts when chamfering or grooving.When grooving, the router tends topull away to the left in relation to thefeed direction. Install the straight guideon the right side to assure a good finishedcut..The straight guide with the guide holderinstalls on the router by means of thethumb bolts A. To obtain the desired distancebetween the bit and the straightguide, turn the fine adjustment screw(1.5" or 1/16" per turn). Then tighten

the thumb bolt B to secure the straight

guide in place.By bolting larger pieces ofwood onto the

straight guide, an even larger (wider)guide can be obtained as shown.When using a board-jointing bit, attachpieces of wood to the straight guidewhich have a thickness of more than

15 mm (5/8") so that the bit does notstrike the straight guide.Thumb bolt AThiimh hnlt B
