General Instructions for 110V Routers WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN!! Good Working Practices/Safety The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order. Primary Precautions This tool is supplied with a molded 15 Amp Plug and polarized 2 wire power cable. Before using the tool, inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that neither is damaged.
Clamp the work-piece to a stable work surface. Check to make sure that the “cutting path”' is unobstructed, and observe the old woodworkers' adage of “never placing your hands closer than one hand’s length to the cutting tool”. Do not attempt to machine any small pieces or work any material that cannot be held securely in a clamp. Make sure you are in a comfortable stance before you start to work, balanced, not reaching etc.
Additional Safety instructions for use of Routers 1. Make sure you have read and fully understood the General instructions and safety precautions that are printed in the preceding pages of this manual. 2. Before connecting the router to the power supply, check the tool for obvious signs of damage, paying particular attention to the plug and the power cord. Correct any damage you discover. Be sure the router bit you are about to fit is the correct tool for the job.
Unpacking and Checking Contents 1. To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, do not plug the power cord into a source of power. This cord must remain unplugged whenever you are servicing and assembling the 3 in 1 router kit. 2. When unpacking and checking contents, separate all loose parts from packaging material and check each item to make sure all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material.
Assembly and Adjustments Function Description This tool can be used as a router/edge trimmer or as cut-out tool, when different accessories are installed. Caution! Do not use this tool for drilling holes. It is not intended to be used as a drill. ON/OFF switch: The power switch is located near the top of the motor housing. The power is turned on by sliding the power switch upward. Sliding the power switch downward interrupts the power and turns the tool off.
Changing Collet Inserts: The Marvel 42 is supplied with both 1/8” and 1/4” collet inserts. To change the collet insert, loosen and remove the collet nut and insert the desired collet for the bit you intend to install in the router. Replace the collet nut but do not tighten it fully unless there is a router bit inserted into the collet as it is possible to permanently distort the collet insert doing this.
WARNING! Never use dull or damaged bits. Damaged bits can break without warning. Dull bits may overload the motor, cut slowly and are difficult to control. They will also overheat and possibly break. Operations 1. Before operation: 1) Before turning the tool ON, check to make sure bit and all accessories fasteners are securely tightened. 2) Avoid cutting your fingers. Make sure all of your fingers are far back from the workpiece before operation. Keep your hand far away from moving parts.
2) Never lay the tool down until the tool comes to a complete stop. A spinning bit can come in contact with the ground surface and the workbench and pull it out of your control. 3) Never touch the bit immediately after use. The bit may be too hot to be handled with your hand and may burn your fingers. 4.
Making Edge Cuts, Slots and Dadoes: To rout the edge of your work-piece to make a slot or dado, you will need to use the router motor in the plunging/tilting base. If you have the router motor installed in either the palm holding base or pistol grip base, you will need to remove it from that base. To remove it, flip the locking lever on the base away from the base and slide the router motor upward out of the base.
Adjusting the Depth Stop on the Plunging/Tilting Base: The depth stop is located on the front right of the plunging/tilting base. It allows you to preset a cutting depth and plunge the router bit to the preset depth. The router should be turned off before attempting to adjust the depth stop position. To adjust the position the upper and lower locking knobs need to be backed off the upper base housing to allow the depth rod to be turned.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to make bevel cuts with the accessory guide template base installed on the plunging/tilting base as the bit can come into contact with the template guide bushing opening and you will ruin the accessory baseplate. Setting Router Base Bevel: Bevel cutting with the bit can be done with the router base tilted to the desired angle. Loosen both bevel adjusting knobs by turning them counter clockwise. Tilt router base to the desired angle. Re-tighten both bevel-adjusting knobs.
Installing the Circle Cutting Attachment: The circle cutting attachment will allow you cut circles from a minimum diameter of 4” to a maximum diameter of 12”. The circle cutting attachment will require using the palm held base if you want to hold the router motor with the palm of your hand or the t-handle base if you want to guide the router by holding the pistol grip base. Unscrew the sole plate from the D-shaped ring to remove the mounting hardware from the circle cutting attachment.
Installing Freehand Sole Plate and Pistol Grip Base: To install the router motor into the freehand sole plate base or pistol grip base, make sure the locking lever is released by flipping it away from the base. Align the spindle-locking button with the U-shaped recess in the upper base and slide the router motor down into the upper base housing until it stops. Flip the locking lever against the base to lock the motor into the base.
Cutting Out Openings for Electrical Boxes: DO NOT use excessive pressure and fast speed while cutting. The motor speed switch should be set to operate on the lower of the two speeds when cutting drywall. CAUTION! Do not attempt cutting around outlet boxes in drywall until: 1) You have either turned the breaker OFF or removed the fuses that interrupt all electricity in the vicinity of the electric box.
MAINTENANCE WARNING! Unplug the tool before changing accessories or bits and making adjustments. 1. Do not clean the tool by using highly volatile liquids such as solvent, gasoline or petroleum product, etc, because the chemical substances contained in these liquids may damage the plastic. 2. Always keep the tool handle free from oil or grease. 3. Always re-tighten collet and all adjustments before starting the tool after a bit or accessory has been changed.
