15.Do not smear the tool base carelessly with thin-
ner,gasoline, oil or the like.
Theymay cause cracks in the tool base.
16.Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the
correctshank diameter and which are suitable for
thespeed of the tool.
SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS.OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
Installingor removing the router bit (Fig. 1)
Important:
Alwaysbe sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
from the supply outlet before installing or removing the
routerbit.
Insertthe router bit all the way into the collet. Press the
shaftlock to keep the shaft stationary and use the wrench
totighten the collet nut securely. When using router bits
with smaller shank diameter,first mount the appropriate
collet,then install the bit as described above.
CAUTION:
•Donot tighten the collet without inserting a router bit.
•Use always a collet which is suitable for the shank
diameterof the router bit.
•Use only router bits of which the maximum speed, as
indicatedon the bit, does exceed the maximum speed
ofthe router.
Adjustingthe depth of cut (Fig. 2)
Important:
Alwaysbe sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
beforeadjusting the depth of cut.
Placethe tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and
lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat
surface.Press the lock lever down to lock the tool body.
While pressing the fast-feed button, move the stopper
poleup or down until the desired depth of cut is obtained.
Minutedepth adjustments can be obtained by turning the
stopperpole (1.5 mm per turn).
CAUTION:
The depth of cut should not be more than 20mm at a
pass when cutting grooves. For extra-deep grooving
operations,make two or three passes with progressively
deeperbit settings.
Nylonnut (Fig. 2)
Theupper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by turning
thenylon nut. Do not lower the nylon nut too low. The bit
willprotrude dangerously.
Stopper(Fig. 3)
As the rotary stopper has three adjusting hex bolts, you
can easily obtain three different depths of cut without
readjusting the stopper pole. To adjust the hex bolts,
loosenthe hex nuts on them and turn the hex bolts. After
obtaining the desired position, tighten the hex nuts to
securethe hex bolts.
SwitchingON and OFF
Fortool without lock-off button (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
Makesure that the shaft lock is released before the switch
isturned on.
Toswitch on, move the switch lever to the ‘‘ON’’ position.
Toswitch off,move the switch lever to the ‘‘OFF’’ position.
Fortool with lock-off button (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
•Beforeplugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
‘‘OFF’’position when released.
•Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the
switchis turned on.
Toswitch on, push the lock-off button and at the same
timepress the trigger.
Toswitch off, release the trigger.
Speedchange knob (Fig. 6)
For3612C only
Thetool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 9,000
rpmand 23,000 rpm by turning the speed change knob.
This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum
material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly
adjustedto suit the material and bit diameter. Refer to the
tablebelow for relationship between the number settings
onthe speed change knob and approx. tool speed.
Number RPM
1 9,000
2 12,000
3 15,000
4 19,000
5 23,000
Operation(Fig. 7)
Placethe tool on the workpiece and switch on. Release
thelock lever and slowly lower the tool onto the workpiece
until preset routing depth is reached. Move the tool
forward using both hands. When cutting edges, the
workpiecesurface should be on the left side of the bit in
thefeed direction as shown in Fig. 7.
