2.Feed the bars on the parallel guide through the holes in the router base plate (13) on the right hand side of the router in the feed direction. This will assist in keeping the guide flush with the side of the work piece.
3.Adjust the distance between the router bit and parallel guide by moving the guide until it is at the correct distance.
4.Tighten the parallel guide locking knobs (15) to hold the parallel guide in position.
5.It is possible to make fine adjustments to the distance between the parallel guide and the router bit, by loosening the centre lock on the guide and turning knob (23). One complete turn of the knob is equivalent to 1.5mm.
6.Tighten the centre lock on the guide when you have made your fine adjustment.
NOTE. If the distance between the side of the work piece and the cutting position is too wide, or the side of the work piece is not straight, firmly clamp a straight board to the work piece and use this as a guide against the router base.

Dust extraction
There are three different ways of connecting the router to a dust extraction system or to a household vacuum cleaner nozzle allowing the dust to be efficiently removed as the tool is used.
•Method 1 (when using the parallel guide and cutting a shape on the edge of a workpiece)
Connect the dust extraction adaptor (25) to the parallel guide. A vacuum system can then be connected to adaptor.
•Method 2 (when connecting
a vacuum system to the top of the router)
Insert the dust extraction adaptor
(14)in the hole in the router housing above the dust extraction tube (21).
Ensure that the dust extraction tube is in its lowest position and is locked into place with lock (24).
Connect a vacuum system to the adaptor.
•Method 3 (when connecting a vacuum system to the base plate of the router)
Unlock dust extraction tube, raise the tube to its highest position and lock it in place with lock (24).
Insert the dust extraction adaptor in the hole in the base plate under the dust extraction tube.
Connect a vacuum system to the adaptor.
CAUTION. When working on metal surfaces, do not use any dust extraction system such as a vacuum cleaner. Sparks can
10 ignite the dust.
