The set includes the electric trimmer, straight line auxiliary gauge, trimming guide wheel, two small wrenches, two carbon brushes, two screws and nuts, a user manual, and 15 router bits. Verify all items are accounted for before discarding packaging.

Assembly and Adjustments

ON/OFF Switch

The power switch is located on the side of the top cover. Push the rocker switch to the I position to turn on and the 0 position to turn off.

Adjusting the Router Motor Height

The router uses a rack and pinion gear system. Loosen the locking flip lever, turn the height adjustment knob to raise or lower the motor, and re-engage the locking mechanism. If the motor is not secure, tighten the hex nut behind the locking lever.

Inserting a Router Bit

Use the spindle lock button to hold the spindle in place while using the supplied wrench to loosen or tighten the collet nut. Ensure at least 3/4 inch of the router bit shank is inserted into the collet. Do not bottom out the bit; pull it out 1/16 to 1/8 inch before tightening.

Operations

Freehand Routing

Install the bit, adjust the base height, and guide the router around the stock in a clockwise direction using both hands on the height adjusting knobs.

Cutting a Straight Line

Use a straight edge template or the included straight edge guide. Clamp the guide to the workpiece, place the router base against the guide, and slide the router plate along the edge while cutting.

Cutting Curved Lines

Create a template from hardboard. The radius of the curve must be greater than 2 1/2 inches. Secure the template to the workpiece and guide the router base against it.

Using the Trimmer Guide

Secure the trimming guide to the base so the ball bearing is just below the straight bit. Adjust the roller flush with the edge of the bit to follow the substrate.

Maintenance

Inspect carbon brushes regularly and replace them when worn to the limit line. Replace both brushes at the same time. Do not clean the tool with volatile liquids like gasoline or solvents. Keep the handle free from oil and grease.
