• Tighten the plunge limiter (4).
• Position the Router on the cutting line. The outer
cutting edge of the cutter must coincide with the
cutting line.
• Slide the parallel fence (16) against the workpiece
and tighten the locking bolts (17).
Fitting a guide bush (fig. F)
Together with a template, guide bushes play a
valuable part in cutting and shaping to a pattern.
• Fit the guide bush (18) to the router base (11)
using the screws (19) as shown.
The screws (19) also hold the dust
extraction channel. Never operate the
router without this.
Connecting a dust extractor (fig. A)
Connect a dust extractor hose to the dust extraction
channel (9).
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Always move your Router as indicated in
fig. G (outer edges/inner edges).
Prior to operation:
• Check that the cutter is correctly installed in the
collet.
• Set the cutting depth.
• Connect a dust extractor.
• Always make sure the plunge limiter is locked
before switching ON.
Switching ON and OFF (fig. A)
Switch the tool ON using the ON/OFF-switch (1).
• I = ON. The tool now works continuously.
• O = OFF.
Loosen the plunge limiter and allow the
router carriage to regain its rest position
before switching OFF.
Using the guide bushes (fig. F)
• Secure the template to the workpiece using end
clamps.
• Select and install an appropriate guide bush (18).
• Subtract the diameter of the cutter from the outside
diameter of the guide bush and divide by 2. This
will indicate how much larger the template should
be in relation to the part being recessed.
If the workpiece is not thick enough,
place it on a piece of waste wood.
Guiding off a batten
Where an edge guide cannot be used, it is also
possible to guide the Router along a batten clamped
across the workpiece (with an overhang at both ends).
Freehand routing
Your DEWALT Router can also be used without any
sort of guide, e.g. for signwriting or creative work.
Make shallow cuts only!
Use cutters with a max. diameter of 6 mm.
Routing with pilot cutters (fig. B)
Where a parallel guide or guide bush are
inappropriate, it is possible to use pilot cutters (20)
for cutting shaped edges.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
These include finger jointing tools for dovetail and
finger jointing jigs, dowel jointing templates, guide
bushes, fine height adjusters, trammel bars and
guide rails in various lengths.
Maintenance
Your DEWALT Power Tool has been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
