6WARNING:DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherenceto safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE orfailure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruc-tion manual may cause serious personal injury.FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONCAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off andunplugged before adjusting or checking function on thetool.Adjusting the depth of cut (Fig. 1)Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock knob andlower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat sur-face. Tighten the lock knob to lock the tool body.Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclockwise.Lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with theadjusting bolt. Align the depth pointer with the “0” gradua-tion. The depth of cut is indicated on the scale by thedepth pointer.While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the stopperpole until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Minutedepth adjustments can be obtained by turning the adjust-ing knob (1 mm per turn.)By turning the stopper pole setting nut clockwise, youcan fasten the stopper pole firmly.Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained byloosening the lock knob and then lowering the tool bodyuntil the stopper pole makes contact with the adjustingbolt of the stopper block.Nylon nut (Fig. 2)By turning the nylon nut, the upper limit of the tool bodycan be adjusted. When the tip of the bit is retracted morethan required in relation to the base plate surface, turnthe nylon nut to lower the upper limit.CAUTION:• Since excessive cutting may cause overload of themotor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of cutshould not be more than 15 mm at a pass when cuttinggrooves with an 8 mm diameter bit.• When cutting grooves with a 20 mm diameter bit, thedepth of cut should not be more than 5 mm at a pass.• For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or threepasses with progressively deeper bit settings.• Do not lower the nylon nut too low or the bit will pro-trude dangerously.Stopper block (Fig. 3)The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts whichraise or lower 0.8 mm per turn. You can easily obtainthree different depths of cut using these adjusting hexbolts without readjusting the stopper pole.Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth ofcut, following the method of “Adjusting depth of cut”.Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shallowerdepths of cut. The differences in height of these hex boltsare equal to the differences in depths of cut.To adjust the hex bolt height, turn the hex bolts with ascrewdriver or wrench. The stopper block is also conve-nient for making three passes with progressively deeperbit settings when cutting deep grooves.Switch action (Fig. 4)CAUTION:• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see thatthe switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the“OFF” position when released.• Make sure that the shaft lock is released before theswitch is turned on.To start the tool, depress the lock button and pull theswitch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and thendepress the lock button further. To stop the tool, pull theswitch trigger so that the lock button returns automati-cally. Then release the switch trigger.After releasing the switch trigger, the lock-off functionworks to prevent the switch trigger from being pulled.Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 5)For RP1110CThe tool speed can be changed by turning the speedadjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 5.Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in thedirection of number 5. And lower speed is obtained whenit is turned in the direction of number 1.This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimummaterial processing, i.e. the speed can be correctlyadjusted to suit the material and bit diameter.Refer to the table for the relationship between the num-ber settings on the dial and the approximate tool speed.006451CAUTION:• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speedadjusting function may no longer work.ASSEMBLYCAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off andunplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.Installing or removing the bit (Fig. 6 & 7)CAUTION:• Install the bit securely. Always use only the wrench pro-vided with the tool. A loose or overtightened bit can bedangerous.• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit. Itcan lead to breakage of the collet cone.Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone. Press theshaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and use thewrench to tighten the collet nut securely.A 8 mm or 6.35 mm collet cone is factory installed on thetool. When using router bits with other shank diameter,use the correct size collet cone for the bit which youintend to use.To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure inreverse.Number min –11 8,0002 12,0003 16,0004 20,0005 24,000
