After longer periods of working at low speed,
allow the machine to cool down by running it for a
few minutes at high speed with no load
Height setting of the router column
Fig. G+A1
The clamping lever (11) is used to set the
maximum height of the router.
The plunge depth is then fixed. This is usually
necessary when using the tool on a special router
table.
Make sure the router column is not locked.
The router can be pushed down against the
spring force.
Lock the router column using the clamping lever
The router is now locked and will no longer return
to its original position.
Setting the plunge depth
Fig. G+A1
The plunge depth can be adjusted by using
buttons 8, 9, 11 and 15. If the plunge depth is set
correctly, the groove in question can be routed
accurately to within 0.1 mm.
Preparation:
•
Place the desired cutter in the tool.
The router can be pushed down against the
spring force.
•
Push the tool down until the cutter touches the
workpiece, then lock it using the clamping
lever (11).
•
Loosen button 9.
•
Set button 15 to zero.
•
Use button 8 to set the depth all the way
down.
•
Tighten button 9 (clockwise). The plunge depth
is now set to precisely 0 mm.
Rough setting:
•
Read the value from the scale (12).
•
Loosen button 9.
•
Turn button 8 and re-read the value from the
scale. The difference between the two values
is the plunge depth setting. For example: If the
value on the scale (12) is 8.5 in the zero-
setting and the value is 7.0 after button (8) has
been turned, then the plunge depth has been
set to 1.5 cm.
•
Retighten button 9.
Fine adjustment:
•
Loosen button 9.
•
The top button (15) is still set to zero. Give this
button a full counter-clockwise turn, until it is
back in the zero position. The plunge depth is
now 1.0 mm less.
•
If required, the plunge depth can be set
accurately to within 0.1 mm.
•
Retighten button 9.
Unlock the clamping lever (11)
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 stop (10).
For larger routing depths, it is recommended to
carry out several repetitive cuts with lower
removal rates.
•
Adjust the required cutting depth by rotating
the revolver-depth stop (21).
5. MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live
when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
These machines have been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper machine care and regular
cleaning.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft
cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the
ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt
does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with
soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol,
alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
Troubleshooting
Please find some potential causes and solutions
to possible failure.
