Dust Extraction - SPARKY PROFESSIONAL X 150CE Notice Originale

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
The variable speed dial (3) is located on the right hand
side near the power cord.
1. Adjust the variable speed dial (3) to suit different
working materials. The tool cuts quicker and smooth-
er at different speeds when working in different
woods or in plastic (Fig. 13).
2. Turn the dial to a higher number for faster speed, turn
the dial to a lower number to reduce the speed.
3. Determine the optimum speed by making a trial cut in
a scrap piece of material.
NOTE: Using the correct speed for the job increases the
life of the bit.
USING THE PARALLEL GUIDE
The parallel guide (17) is an effective aid to cutting in a
straight line when chamfering or grooving.
1. Loosen the parallel guide locking knobs (15) (Fig. 14).
2. Feed the bars on the parallel guide through the holes
in the router base plate (13) on the right hand side
of the router in the feed direction. This will assist in
keeping the guide flush with the side of the work
piece (Fig. 15).
3. Adjust the distance between the router bit and paral-
lel guide by moving the guide until it is at the correct
distance (Fig. 16).
4. Tighten the parallel guide locking knobs (15) to hold
the parallel guide in position (Fig. 17).
5. It is possible to make fine adjustments to the distance
between the parallel guide and the router bit, by loos-
ening the centre lock on the guide and turning knob
(23). One complete turn of the knob is equivalent to
1.5 mm.
6. Tighten the centre lock on the guide when you have
made your fine adjustment (Fig. 18).
NOTE: If the distance between the side of the work piece
and the cutting position is too wide, or the side of the
work piece is not straight, firmly clamp a straight board
to the work piece and use this as a guide against the
router base.

DUST EXTRACTION

There are three different ways of connecting the router
to a dust extraction system or to a household vacuum
cleaner nozzle allowing the dust to be efficiently re-
moved as the tool is used.
Method 1 (when using the parallel guide and cutting a
shape on the edge of a work piece, Fig. 19)
▪ Connect the dust extraction adapter (25) to the paral-
lel guide. A vacuum system can then be connected
to adapter.
Method 2 (when connecting a vacuum system to the top
of the router, Fig. 20)
▪ Insert the dust extraction adapter (14) in the hole in
the router housing above the dust extraction tube
(21). Ensure that the dust extraction tube is in its low-
est position and is locked into place with lock (24).
Connect a vacuum system to the adapter.
Method 3 (when connecting a vacuum system to the
base plate of the router, Fig. 21)
Original instructions
▪ Unlock dust extraction tube, raise the tube to its high-
est position and lock it in place with lock (24). Insert
the dust extraction adapter in the hole in the base
plate under the dust extraction tube. Connect a vac-
uum system to the adapter.
In all three methods it is necessary to add the dust cover
(19) in the hole in the base plate under the spindle and
to lock it in place with the locking latch (22) (Fig. 22, 23).
NOTE: With the dust cover in place it is not possible
to use a router bit with a cutting diameter greater than
27.4 mm.
USING THE TEMPLATE GUIDE
The template guide can be used in various ways:
▪ Producing duplicates of a particular design of an
original shape.
▪ In conjunction with a template, producing decorative
features.
▪ Repetitive cutting shapes.
If you wish to make your own templates it is best to use
a hardwood such as plywood. Use a piece that is just
thicker than the depth of the template guide. Allow for the
thickness of the guide in your template to ensure that the
work piece is cut to the correct size.
1. To attach the template guide (16) turn the router up-
side down and remove the two fixing screws in the
centre of the router base.
2. Insert the template guide into the base of the router
and secure using the two fixing screws supplied
(Fig. 24).

Template Guide; 5–Router Base)
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
WARNING: Before plugging in the tool always
check that the trigger switch engages and disengages
properly.
1. First set up the work so you are ready to cut your
wood.
2. Plug the router into the mains socket.
3. Press the on/off trigger switch (9) to turn on the router
(Fig. 26).
4. To switch off, just release the On/Off switch (9).
5. If you require the router to run continually without
having to continue to apply pressure to the trigger
switch, depress the lock-on button (10) to lock the
trigger switch on (Fig. 26).
6. The router will now run in the 'locked-on' condition.
7. If the switch is in the 'locked-on' position depress the
on/off trigger switch and then release the switch the
router will stop.
MAKING A CUT
Your router can be used to make specialty cuts and
shapes in the surface and on the edge of wood. It ac-
cepts a wide range of bits that are each designed for a
specific cut or shape.
