SAFETY P RECAUTIONS
■ Always switch off the power and unplug the
router when changing cutters or when making
adjustments.
■ Do not over-tighten collet as this will score the
shank and create a weakness there.
■ It is also advisable to periodically check the
router collet nut for wear.
■ Always wear protective goggles when routing.
■ Wear sound protective ear muffs when routing
for long periods of time.
Us e ful Advice
■ Always wear a dust mask or respirator. Use
■ Judge your feed rate by the sound of the
motor. In time, the operator will acquire a
‘feel’ for the router, and a feed speed relative
to the work will come naturally. Too slow a
feed will result in burning.
dust extraction equipment whenever possible.
■ Do not wear loose clothing. Make sure baggy
sleeves are rolled up and ties are removed.
■ Always remove spanners and hex keys from
the workpiece before switching router on.
■ Apply the normal precautions as with any
electric power tool.
■ Keep hands well clear of the router cutter
when routing.
■ The main abuse of routing machines is the
inclination for operators to overload them.
The motto is ‘Keep the revs up’. The drop in
revolutions should not exceed, if possible,
more than 20% of full running speed.
■ Avoid accidental starting of the router. Make
sure the power switch is in the ‘Off’ position
before plugging in and connecting to the
electrical supply.
■ The motor of a router is susceptible to the
accumulation of sawdust and wood chips, and
should be blown out, or ‘vacuumed’,
frequently to prevent interference with normal
motor ventilation.
■ Never leave the router unattended when
running. Always wait until the router comes to
a complete stop before making any
adjustments.
■ Do not switch the router on with the cutter
touching the workpiece.
■ Refer to the Instruction Manual supplied with
your router for full details of its features and
safety information.
■ Mount the workpiece securely to a work
bench or to a workboard fitted to a suitable
surface.
■ Trial cuts should be made on waste material
before starting any project.
■ Periodically check all nuts and bolts to make
sure they are tight and secure.
Cutte r Ca re
■ Do not drop cutters or knock them against
hard objects.
■ Cutters should be kept clean. Resin build-up
should be removed at regular intervals with
Resin Cleaner®. The use of a dry lubricant
will act as a preventative such as Trendicote®
PTFE spray.
■ Cutter shanks should be inserted into the
collet at least 3/4 of shank length to prevent
distortion. A distorted collet should be
discarded, as it can cause vibration and
damage the shank.

Pa ne l Butt Conne ctors
Panel butt connectors are essential for
connecting worktops. They fit into the recess on
the underside of the worktop and are tightened
with a 10mm spanner. The jig has integral bolt
recess slots to allow the bolt recess to be cut in
the underside of the worktop, using the cutter.
The recess is elongated to allow easy access for
the spanner. Two types are offered, plastic
ended or metal ended. Plastic ended offer better
grip.

The holes are colour coded for easy

certain joints the worktop will need to be inverted
so that all cuts are made into the postformed

Depending on accessibility lay female worktop
into position on units. Lay male worktop on top
and support other end. Using a pencil draw
round the female cut onto the male. If
inaccessible lay female onto male. Depending
on a right or left hand joint, the pencil line may
need to be transferred on to the other side. Due
to the difference between the cutter and the
guide bush diameters, the cutter path will be
8.5mm over from the edge of the template,
therefore either measure 8.5mm or use a
packing piece of this size to offset the template
by this amount to ensure the cutter cuts along
the pencil line.

Out of s qua re Joints (m a x. 3°)*
It may not be possible to position all joints at 90°,
in this case it is the male part of the joint that
has to be adjusted.
The length stop has a mitred end which is used
to set up for an out-of-square joint up to 3°.
To mark out an out-of square joint, first lay the
female worktop on the cupboard carcass in its
correct position. Next lay the male section of the
worktop on the carcass and on top of the female
section of the worktop. Support the other end of
the male worktop. Using a pencil and from
underneath the worktop mark around the female
joint onto the male section of the worktop, if
access is difficult lay the female worktop onto the
male worktop, support other end and mark with
pencil from above. This drawn line is the male
cut line.
*Please Note:
Out-of-square joints are possible, but the
finished joint will not be as good as a 90° joint.

Stre ngthe ning the Joint
If the joint between the worktops is not
supported underneath, after some time the joint
may ‘sag’ and become misaligned; to reduce this
the joint should be reinforced with a loose
tongue or biscuit dowels. The biscuit jointing
cutter set Trend Ref. 342 can be used with a
portable router. The size of biscuit used should
be No. 20.
Underside View
Ref. BSC/20/100 (100 biscuits)
Ref. BSC/20/1000 (1000 biscuits)
A 650mm worktop should have at least 5
biscuits.
Se a ling the Joint
The cut edges of the joint should be coated with
a water-resistant adhesive, or sealant before
assembly, to prevent moisture seeping into the
core of the worktops, which would swell and
disfigure the worktop.
Use a fine grit abrasive paper to clean up the
torn wood chips of both mating surfaces. Lightly
run the abrasive paper along the edges to de-nib
the cut chipboard edge. This will ensure a tidy
joint is achieved.
