PREPARING THE ROUTER
NOTE: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
8.1 PARALLEL GUIDE FENCE - FIG. 1
Attach the two face plates
to the parallel guide
fence
with the four machine screws
supplied.
Insert screw
through washer
. Secure the
rods onto the guide fence
with the screw assembly.
8.2 DUST EXTRACTION PORT - FIGS. 2 - 3
The majority of operations will require the dust
extraction to be fitted, however some operations will be
impossible with the port fitted. These require
appropriate safety equipment to be worn.
Fit the dust extraction port
into the recess. Pass the
two machine screws
up through the base and into
the nuts in the port. Secure the port without damaging
the plastic parts by over tightening the machine screws.
NOTE: With the dust extraction port fitted, the plunger
stroke is slightly reduced.
8.3 DUST EXTRACTION
Inhalation of dust particles can be detrimental to
health. The dust outlet
must be connected with a
dust extraction machine.
NOTE: Due to the outlet diameter, a size adaptation
may be necessary.
All wood dust (including dust from composites like
chipboards and fibre boards etc) is hazardous to health;
it can affect the nose, the respiratory system and the
skin. For example MDF (medium density fibreboard)
which contains formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. In
addition to the above measures a correctly fitted dust
mask, suitable for the activity and in accordance to the
relevant standard, must be worn. For work activities
involving exposure to fine wood dust a mask rated to at
least FFP2 should be used.

8.4 FITTING THE FACE SHIELD - FIG. 3b
The face shield (chip guard) helps to protect the user
from any debris that may be thrown from the
workpiece. Fix face shield
onto sole plate using
nuts, bolts and washers
making sure the fixings are
facing the outside of the machine.
