Align the depth indicator with the “0” graduation of scale. 5 Loosen pole lock knob, and raise until indicator aligns with the graduation representing the desired cutting depth. Tighten pole lock knob. 6 Loosen the lock lever and press the tool body down until the stopper block to obtain the desired cutting depth. (2) As shown in Fig. 5 (a), loosening the two nuts on the threaded column and moving them down will allow you to move down to the end position of the bit when the lock lever was loosened. This is helpful when moving the router to align the bit with the cutting position. As shown in Fig. 5 (b), tighten the upper and lower nuts to secure the cutting depth. (3) When you are not using the scale to set the cutting depth, push up the stopper pole so that it is not in the way. 2. Stopper block (Fig. 6) The 2 cut-depth setting screws attached to the stopper block can be adjusted to simultaneously set 3 different cutting depth. Use a wrench to tighten the nuts so that the cut-depth setting screws do not come loose at this time. 3.

(1) Template Guide: Use the template guide when employing a template for producing a large quantity of identically shaped products. As shown in Fig. 7, secure the template guide to the base of the router with two accessory screws. At this time, ensure that the projection side of the template guide is facing the bottom surface of the base of the router. A template is a profiling mold made of plywood or thin lumber. When making a template, pay particular attention to the matters cescribed blow and illustrated in Fig. 8. When using the router along the interior plane of the template, the dimensions of the finished product will be less than the dimensions of the template by an amount equal to dimension “A”, the difference between the radius of the template guide and the radius of the bit. The reverse is frue when using the router along the exterior of the template. Secure the template to the workpiece. Feed the router in the manner that the template guide moves along the template as shown in Fig. 9. Template Guide Adaptor: (Fig. 10) If you are using a template guide adapter, it is possible to use template guides produced by other firms. The template guide adaptor, like the template guide, is attached to the base with two accessory screws. Attach template guides made by other firms to the template guide adaptor. (2) Straight guide (Fig. 11) Use straight guide for chamfering and groove cutting along the materials side. 1 Insert the guide bar into the hole in the bar holder, then lightly tighten the 2 wing bolts (B) on top of the bar holder.

Feed the router while keeping the guide plane on the surface of the materials. 4. Adjusting the rotation speed The M8V2 has an electronic control system that allows stepless rpm changes. As shown in Fig. 13, dial position “1” is for minimum speed, and position “6” for maximum speed. 5. Cutting WARNING: . Wear eye protection when operating this tool. . Keep your hands, face and other body parts away from the bits and any other rotating parts, while operating the tool. (1) As shown in Fig. 14, remove the bit from the work pieces and press the switch lever up to the ON position. Do not start cutting operation until the bit has reached full rotating speed. (2) The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction indicated on the base). To obtain maximum cutting effectiveness, feed the router in conformance with the feed directions shown in Fig. 15. NOTE: If a worn bit is used to make deep grooves, a high pitched cutting noise may be produced. Replacing the worn bit with a new one will eliminate the high pitched noise.
