Cutting Holes Freehand

1.

Assemble the components of the Circle Guide as described on the previous page,
steps 1 through 7, with this exception: leave off the Circle Arm (69).

2.

Install a cutting bit as described on page 10.

3.

Adjust the bit depth to only 1/8 inch deeper than the material being cut (i.e., drywall).

When cutting drywall that is already mounted on the wall joists, be certain that the
circuit current to the wires in the wall are shut off at the circuit breaker.

4.

Start the cut in the center of the area, at a slight angle when entering the material,
then level out the cutter. Move the cutter to the trim line and cut counterclockwise.

Best Trimming Routing Direction

The Router Bit rotates clockwise. You must adjust for this while cutting.

1.

For most materials it is best to move the Router from left to right as you face the
workpiece.

2.

When cutting outside edges, move the router counterclockwise. When cutting inside
edges, move the router clockwise.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING

 WARNING!  Make sure the Power Switch of the Router is in its “OFF” position and

that the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

1.

Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Router. Check for loose
screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged
electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.  If
abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do
not use damaged equipment.

2.

Periodically recheck all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness.

3.

Store in a clean and dry location.

4.

Wipe the Tool with a clean cloth after every use.

5.

After each use, blow out the Motor vent holes with compressed air to prevent the
buildup of dust and particles.

6.

Periodically wipe the Collet, Collet Adapters, and Cutting Bits with a light oil to prevent
rust.

7.

Over time, if the performance of the tool diminishes, or it stops working completely, it
may be necessary to replace the Carbon Brushes (10) by removing the Carbon Brush
Cover (11).  This procedure must be completed by a qualified technician. If the
Carbon Brushes are not worn down, try cleaning the Carbon Brush tips with an ink
eraser.
