•The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2) and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).

•Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.

Never use a light socket.

Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N) wires to the earth pin marked E or .

For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding 1500 W, we recommend to fit a plug to BS4343 standard.

Using an extension cable

If an extension cable is required, use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see technical data). The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm2. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely. Also refer to the table below.

Assembly and adjustment

Prior to assembly and adjustment always unplug the tool.

Inserting and removing a cutter (fig. B)

•Press and hold down the spindle lock (2).

•Using the 17 mm wrench, loosen the collet nut

(3) a few turns and insert a cutter.

•Tighten the collet nut and release the spindle lock.

Never tighten the collet nut without a cutter in the collet.

Replacing the collet assembly (fig. C)

Your router is supplied with a 8 mm (GB: 1/4") collet fitted to the tool. Two other precision collets are also available to suit the cutter used. The collet and the collet nut are inseparable.

•Loosen the collet nut (3) completely.

•Remove the collet assembly (21).

•Fit a new assembly and tighten the collet nut (3).

• Turn the electronic speed control dial to the required level.

Generally, use the low setting for large diameter cutters and the high setting for small diameter cutters. The correct setting, however, is a matter of experience.
