The vibration and/or noise emission level given in this

information sheet has been measured in accordance

with a standardised test given in EN62841 and may be

used to compare one tool with another. It may be used

for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration and/or

noise emission level represents the main applications

of the tool. However if the tool is used for different

applications, with different accessories or poorly

maintained, the vibration and/or noise emission may

differ. This may signiﬁcantly increase the exposure level

over the total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and/or

noise should also take into account the times when the

tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually

doing the job. This may signiﬁcantly reduce the exposure

level over the total working period.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings,

instructions, illustrations and speciﬁcations

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁre

and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE

REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your

mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

1) Work Area Safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ﬂammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

2) Electrical Safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a

cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric

shock.

EN - T12/T14

-10-

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

3) Personal Safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under

the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting to

power source and/or battery pack, picking up or

carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger

on the switch or energising power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in

personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can

be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use

of tools allow you to become complacent and

ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can

cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Power Tool Use and Care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct power

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which

it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the powersource and/

or the battery pack, if detachable, from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to operate the

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check

for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that

may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits,

etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking

into account the working conditions and the work

to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations

different from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

Safety Instructions for Routers

a) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, because the cutter may contact

its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the

operator an electrical shock.

b) Use clamps or another practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by your hand or against the body

leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

c) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease. This will enable better control of the tool.

d) Maintain a ﬁrm grip with both hands on the tool

to resist starting torque. Maintain a ﬁrm grip on the

tool at all times while operating.

e) Keep hands away from cutting area above and

below the base. Never reach under the workpiece

for any reason. Keep the router base ﬁrmly in contact

with the workpiece when cutting.

EN - T12/T14

-11-

f) Never touch the bit immediately after use. It

may be extremely hot.

g) Be sure that the motor has stopped completely

before you lay the router down. If the bit is still

spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause injury

or damage.

h) Be sure that the router bit is clear of the

workpiece before starting the motor. If the bit is

in contact with the workpiece when the motor starts, it

could make the router jump, causing damage or injury.

i) The permitted speed of the cutting bit must be

at least equal to the maximum speed marked on

the power tool. If cutting bits run faster than their rated

speed, they may break and ﬂy off.

j) Always follow the bit manufacturer’s speed

recommendations as some bit designs require

speciﬁc speeds for safety or performance. If you

are unsure of the proper speed or are experiencing any

type of problem, contact the bit manufacturer.

k) Do not use cutters larger than 50 mm (2”)

unless the router is ﬁtted in a router table.

Do not use cutters larger than 86 mm (3 3/8”) in

this tool.

RESIDUAL RISKS

WARNING: We recommend the

use of a residual current device with

a residual current rating of 30mA or

less.

In spite of the application of the relevant safety

regulations and the implementation of safety devices,

certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:

• Impairment of hearing.

• Risk of personal injury due to ﬂying particles.

• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during

operation.

• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage

only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to

the voltage on the rating plate.

Your tool is double insulated in accordance with

the workpiece.

2. You can lower the unit until it reaches your preset

stop.

3. To lock the tool in place along its vertical travel, press

quick release button (7).

Collets - (Fig. C)

WARNING: Projectile hazard. Only use bits

with shanks that match the installed collet. Smaller

shank bits will not be secure and could become loose

during operation.

CAUTION: Never tighten the collet without

ﬁrst installing a router bit in it. Tightening an empty collet,

even by hand, can damage the collet.

A collet is included with this router.

• 12 mm: Europe

• 1/2”: UK & Eire

1. To change collets (35), unscrew the collet assembly

(9)

2. Sharply pull the old collet out of the collet nut (45) and

insert the new collet (35).

3. Push ﬁrmly so that the new collet snaps past the

retainer spring in the collet nut.

Multiple Position Turret Stop - (Fig. E)

WARNING: Do not change the turret stop

while the router is running. This will place your hands too

near the cutter head.

The turret stop (11) limits the downward distance that

the tool can be plunged. It consists of three screws of

EN - T12/T14

-13-

different lengths that serve to deﬁne the depth of cut by

limiting the travel of the depth stop bar (12).

1. Routing depth can be set by selecting the screw of the

appropriate length on the turret.

2. The turret is rotatable with detent stops to properly

align the screws.

3. It is the interaction of the depth stop bar and the turret

stop that determine the routing depth.

4. If none of the provided screws seems close to the

desired height each can be adjusted by loosening the

hex nut at the bottom and then turning the screw either

in or out to make it the proper length. After adjusting this

screw be sure to tighten the hex nut at the bottom with

the an 8 mm wrench (55).

5. Refer to section Setting the Routing Depth for

instructions on how to use the turret stop in an actual

operation.

Height Stop Rod and Height Stop

Thumb Wheel - (Fig. G & Ga)

T12 Height Stop Rod and Height Stop Thumb Wheel

(Fig. G)

The height stop rod (5) and thumb wheel (4) limit how

high the unit can travel up the rails. The system is

adjustable to limit the rise of the plunge regardless of

the position of the plunge release lever to full up where

the bottom of the collet is 80 mm (3 5/32”) above the

workpiece.

NOTE: It is easier to move the height stop thumb wheel

UP if the plunge release lever is locked and easier to

move the thumb wheel down if the unit is ﬁrst moved

down by releasing the plunge release lever and then

tightening it.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

Using the Router - (Fig. A, L)

CAUTION: Turn the router on before plunging

the cutter head into the workpiece.

CAUTION:

• Excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or

difﬁculty in controlling the tool, the depth of cut should

not be more than 15 mm (19/32”) at a pass when

cutting grooves with a 8 mm (5/16”) diameter bit.

• When cutting grooves with a 20 mm (25/32”) diamter

bit, the depth of cut should not be more than 5 mm

(3/16”) at a pass.

• For extra deep grooving, make two or three passes

with progressively deeper bit settings.

CAUTION: After long periods of working at

low speeds, allow the machine to cool down by running

it for three minutes at maximum speed, with no load.

All common routing tasks can be performed with the

plunge cut router on all types of wood and plastic:

• Grooving

• Rebating

• Recessing

• Veining

• Proﬁling

To prevent overload of the tool by using the wrong speed

selection, follow the recommended settings below:

MATERIAL CUTTER DIAMETER

10 – 30 mm 30 – 50 mm 50 – 86* mm

Plastic 7 - 5 7 - 4 n / a

* Do not use cutters larger than 50 mm (2”) unless the

router is ﬁtted in a router table.

NOTE: Only carbide tipped cutters should be used on

panels faced with plastic laminates. The hard laminates

will quickly dull steel cutters.

EN - T12/T14

-16-

NOTE: For better plunge sliding movement, frequently

clean the columns of dust or debris. If the plunging

movement is not moving as smooth as desired, lubricate

the columns with a dry Teﬂon lubricant.

1. After setting the cutting depth as described, locate the

router such that the bit is directly over the place you will

be cutting.

2. With the router running, lower the unit smoothly down

into the workpiece. DO NOT JAM THE ROUTER

DOWN.

3. When the tool reaches the pre set depth, push the

quick release button (7) to lock.

4. When you have ﬁnished routing, push the plunge

lock lever (6) to unlock and let the spring lift the router

directly out of the workpiece.

5. Always feed the router opposite to the direction in

which the cutter is rotating. Refer to Fig. L.

On/Off Trigger Switch - (Fig. A)

Variable Speed Dial - (Fig. A)

WARNING: If the speed control ceases

to operate, or is intermittent, stop using the tool

immediately. Please contact Trend Tool Technology Ltd

or authorized service facility for repair.

NOTICE: The router is equipped with electronics to

monitor and maintain the speed of the tool while cutting.

In low and medium speed operation, the speed control

prevents the motor speed from decreasing. If you expect

to hear a speed change and continue to load the motor,

you could damage the motor by overheating. Reduce

the depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to prevent tool

damage.

Refer to the Speed Selection Chart to choose a router

speed. Turn the speed dial (1) to control router speed.

The speed is variable from 9000 to 22000 rpm using the

speed dial (1).

1. Turn the speed dial to the required position. The dial is

numbered from 1 –7 and corresponds to router speeds

of 9000 rpm to 22000 rpm.

2. Use the slower settings for large diameter cutters and

the faster settings for small diameter cutters.

3. The correct setting will also depend on the density of

the material, depth of cut and feed speed of the router.

NOTE: A noticeable loss of motor rpm means motor

overload

SPEED SELECTION CHART

DIAL SETTING APPROXIMATE RPM

any type of problem, contact the bit manufacturer.

LED Worklight - (Fig. F)

CAUTION: Do not stare into worklight.

Serious eye injury could result.

Two LED worklights (57) are located next to the collet

assembly (9).

1. The worklights (57) will constantly illuminate when the

router is connected to the mains power supply.

2. To switch off the worklights the router must be

disconnected from mains power supply.

NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work

surface and is not intended to be used as a ﬂashlight.

Setting Plunge Lock System - (Fig. B)

The plunge is fully automatically locking for all cuts. For

heavy cut operations, ensure to push the lever towards

the tool body. The plunge lock lever (6) position is set at

EN - T12/T14

-17-

the factory so the lever does not touch the motor body,

if the plunge lock lever begins to hit the body when the

quick release lever is pushed, readjust the locking lever

position as follows:

1. Push in quick release button (7). The plunge lever lock

will unlock automatically.

2. Using a Torx 20 star bit (39), loosen the shoulder

screw (54) on the plunge lock lever (6) with six

counterclockwise turns. Do not fully remove.

3. Lift the plunge lock lever, rotate and reposition the

plunge lock lever at position 2 (at eleven o’clock).

4. Tighten the shoulder screw.

5. If after setting to position 2 sliding is not correct,

repeat steps 1 to 3 and reposition the lock lever at

position 1. Tighten the shoulder screw.

Moulding Natural Timbers

WARNING: When routing always lock the

plunge locking lever.

When edge moulding natural timbers, always mould the

end grain ﬁrst, followed by the long grain. This ensures

that if there is breakout, it will be removed when the long

grain is routed.

Setting the Routing Depth - (Fig. D, E)

1. Place the router with cutter ﬁtted on to the workpiece.

2. Set the multiple position turret stop (11) as required.

3. Loosen the knob quick adjustment (15) securing the

depth stop (12).

4. Push down the plunging lock lever (6) to start

plunging.

5. Lower the router slowly until the cutter touches the

workpiece and secure it in place by pushing quick

release button (7).

6. Rotate the quick height adjuster (16) until the depth

stop bar (12) touches multiple turret stop (13) . Secure

in position by tightening the quick height adjuster lock

(15).

7. If the depth of cut needs re adjustment, it is

recommended to use quick depth adjuster (16) for gross

settings, or the ﬁne height adjuster for accurate settings.

8. Adjust the depth of cut using the ﬁne height adjuster

(18)

NOTE: : One turn of the ﬁne height adjuster (18)

corresponds to 1 mm (3/64”), one turn of the quick

height adjuster (15) corresponds to 40 mm (1 1/2”)

9. Read the depth of cut using the quick zero reset ring

(14) and ﬁne zero reset ring (19).

10. The distance between the top of the revolving depth

stop and the bottom of the depth stop is the required

depth of cut.

11. The rotating turret stop screws (11) can be used

for setting up to three depths of cut. The height can

be adjusted using a ﬂat screwdriver and a 8mm (5/16”)

wrench.

NOTE: By rotating the turret stop, three depth settings

can be quickly made.

Fine Height Adjuster - (Fig. D)

This router has a built in ﬁne height adjuster. This should

be used when ﬁne height adjustment of the cutter is

required. This is especially recommended when using

dovetail jigs or router tables.

Direction Of Feed - (Fig. L)

WARNING: Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in

direction opposite than shown in Fig. L). Climb-cutting

increases the chance for loss of control resulting in

possible injury. When climb-cutting is required (backing

around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain

control of router. Make smaller cuts and remove minimal

material with each pass.

The direction of feed is very important when routing and

can make the difference between a successful job and

a ruined project. Fig. L show proper direction of feed for

most cuts.

1. When routing along an edge, the direction of the

router travel should be against that of the rotation of

the cutter. This will create the correct cutting action

and prevent the cutter from snatching. It will also pull

the router towards the workpiece and the side fence or

guide bearing will be less likely to wander from the edge

of the workpiece.

Feed Speed

The speed at which the cutter is fed into the wood must

not be too fast that the motor slows down, or too slow

that the cutter leaves burn marks on the face of the

wood.

NOTE: Practice judging the speed by listening to the

sound of the motor when routing.

Sequence of Plunging

WARNING: When routing always lock the

plunge locking lever.

1. Plunge down and lock the motor carriage, by pushing

quick release button (7).

2. Perform the desired routing operation.

3. Push down the plunge lock lever (6) and the motor

carriage returns to the normal position.

EN - T12/T14

-18-

Using a Side Fence - (Fig. M)

CAUTION: Ensure working position is

comfortable and at a suitable working height.

1. Ensure the wing bolts (28) are fully released. Slide the

guide rods (26) into the routing base (10) and tighten

the wing bolts.

2. Adjust the fence ﬁne adjustment knob (29) to the

required distance and clamp in place with the wing bolts

(28).

3. Then lower the cutter height until the cutter is just

above the workpiece.

4. Fine adjustments are possible by loosening the wing

bolt (28) and adjusting the side fence ﬁne adjustment

knob (29).

5. Tighten the wing bolt (28) to secure the position.

NOTE: One revolution of the side fence ﬁne adjustment

knob (29) equals 3/64” (1.0 mm) of side feed.

6. Lower the cutter onto the workpiece and set the cutter

height by to the required distance. Refer to Setting the

Router Depth.

7. Switch the router on and after the cutter reaches full

speed, gently lower the cutter into the workpiece and

lock the plunge.

8. Feed along the workpiece, keeping sideways pressure

to ensure the side fence does not wander away from the

workpiece edge and downward pressure on the inside

hand to prevent the router from tipping.

9. When ﬁnished, raise the router, secure with the plunge

locking lever (6) and switch the router off.

NOTE: When starting the cut, keep the pressure on the

front cheek until the back cheek contacts the workpiece

edge.

NOTE: At the end of the cut, keep pressure on the

back cheek until the cut is ﬁnished. This will prevent the

router cutter swinging in at the end of the workpiece and

nipping the corner.

Side Fence Routing - (Fig. I, J)

The side fence is used to guide the router when

moulding, edge proﬁling or rebating the edge of a

workpiece or when routing grooves and slots in the

center of the workpiece, parallel to the edge.

The edge of the workpiece must be straight and true.

The strips (31) are adjustable and should be set ideally

with a 1/8” (3 mm) gap each side of the cutter.

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

WARNING: Make shallow cuts only! Use

cutters with a max. diameter of 12mm.

Your router can also be used without any sort of guide,

e.g. for signwriting or creative work.
