[. . . ] For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands or fingers. If changing cutters, cutter will easily slip from collet after loosening collet nut. For example: The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit cutters with 1/4 in (6. 35 mm) diameter shanks. To use cutters with 1/4 in (6. 35 mm) diameter shanks, insert the 1/4 in cutter into the 1/4 in (6. 35 mm) collet. Insert shank of cutter until shank bottoms out, then pull it out 1/16 in (1. 6 mm) to allow for expansion when the bit gets hot. Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with the spanner provided. 4 WARNING Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury. English Release spindle lock. distance between the stop bar and screw of the depth stop is setting plunge depth. Tighten the stop bar lock knob to set depth of plunge. WARNING If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the cutter may detach during use causing serious personal injury. DEPTH STOP See Figure 8 - 9. Your router has a variable speed control selector designed to allow operator control of speed and torque limits. You can make speed selections best suited to the type of cut, the material being cut, and the size of bit being used. The variable speed control selector allows you to adjust router speed from 14, 000 to 31, 500 min-1. To increase the speed and torque of your router, turn the variable speed control selector to a higher setting. NOTE: If you do not want to use the variable speed control selector, turn it to the highest possible setting, and the feature will not be active. We suggest that you practice with the variable speed feature of your router before installing a cutter and making cuts in wood. ZERO RESET INDICATOR The zero reset indicator allows you to use the scale provided on the housing to make quick depth of cut changes to existing depth of cut settings. Choose a reference point on the scale and slide the zero reset indicator up or down the scale the distance required for new depth of cut. Then change stop bar position by loosening lock knob and adjusting stop bar until red line on zero reset indicator moves back to reference point. The cutter position will now increase or decrease the exact distance the stop bar was adjusted. WARNING Do not use cutters with undersized shanks. Undersized shanks will not tighten properly and could be thrown from the tool causing injury. WARNING Do not use cutters that are larger in diameter than the opening in router base. [. . . ] The dust extractor hose can be connected to the dust extraction channel. FINE HEIGHT ADJUSTER It is used to precisely control the depth of the cutter. To use the fine height adjuster, ensure that the plunge lock is released. Rotate the knob clockwise to raise the cutter, anticlockwise to lower the cutter. [. . . ]
