MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
MOUNTING AND REMOVING CUTTERS.
Fig. B.
Prior to mounting an accessory always unplug the
tool.
Only use cutters with a shaft diameter which corres-
ponds with the size of the collet. Only use cutters which
are suited for the maximum speed of the machine. The
cutter diameter should not exceed the maximum diame-
ter (see ‘Technical specifications’).
• Place an open-ended spanner on the collet bracket
and use the second spanner to loosen the collet nut.
• Place the cutter shaft in the collet.
• Tighten the collet nut so that the cutter is locked
properly.
• Open the collet nut when you want to replace a cutter.
Wait until the machine has come to a complete
standstill and the cutter has cooled down before
replacing a cutter.
MOUNTING AND ADJUSTING THE
PARALLEL GUIDE
Fig. C
The parallel guide is a handy aid when working on narrow
workpieces.
• Mount the parallel guide. Attach the guide rods (15)
on the frame (14) using the bolts (16).
• Loosen the locking bolts (9) and slide the guide rods
in the openings (8).
• Adjust the parallel guide to the desired guide
distance.
• Tighten the locking bolts again.
MOUNTING THE ADAPTER FOR DUST
EXTRACTION.
Fig. D
Use the adapter for extracting dust.
• Loosen the machine clamp screw (2) and remove the
machine from its base.
• Mount the adapter for dust extraction (18) on the
router base (7) using the screws (17) and nuts (19).
• Replace the machine into the base.
• Place a vacuum cleaner nozzle on the adapter outlet.
Keep the outlet of the machine behind the machine
for a good view on the workpiece.
OPERATION
Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
• Hold the machine in rest position on the workpiece
when switching the machine on or off. The cutter in
the collet may damage the workpiece.
• Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the work-
piece cannot slide from under the machine during the
cutting activities.
• Hold the machine firmly and move it evenly over the
workpiece. Do not force the machine.
• Only use cutters which do not show any signs of
wear. Worn cutters have a negative effect on the effi-
ciency of the machine.
• Always switch off the machine first before removing
the plug from the wall socket.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
Fig. E
The cutting depth can be adjusted in two ways.
Adjustment using the scale
• Loosen the locking bolt of the depth stop (12).
• Release clamping lever (3) and press the machine so
far down until the cutter touches the workpiece.
• Tighten the clamping lever again.
• Set the desired cutting depth using the graduated sca-
les (11) and then tighten the locking bolt.
Adjustment using the revolver- depth stop
The revolver-depth stop enables you to quickly choose
between three different cutting depths. These are also
determined by the adjustment of the depth scale (11).
• Adjust the required cutting depth by the three
screws on the revolver-depth stop (10).
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Fig. A.
• Depress the on/off switch (1) to switch the machine
on. Then push the switch through its resistance to
lock the switch in the on position. The cutter speed
can be adjusted by means of the adjusting wheel (13).
• Release the on/off switch to switch the machine off or
push the switch again when it is in locked position.
Always select a low speed for cutting plastic work-
pieces.
Do not put the machine down when the motor is still
running. Do not place the machine on a dusty surface.
Dust particles may enter the mechanism.
