Depth Stop; Setting The Working Depth - ITC SPT305 Manuel De L'utilisateur

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To insert a router bit:
1. Loosen the collet nut and insert the shaft of the router bit into the chuck.
2. Ensure that at least half the length of the router bit shaft is inserted into the
chuck. If insertion depth is less than half, the router bit may work itself loose
and could cause serious injury.
3. Press the spindle lock, hold it in position, and tighten the collet nut.
4. Be sure to unplug your router and repeatedly check the tightness of the collet
nut when using your router over an extended period.
CAUTION: Handle router bits with care. They are extremely sharp and may
cause cuts and or serious injury.
!
CAUTION: Before switching the router on, ensure that the collet nut is tight.
LOCKING LEVER FOR CUTTING MACHINE BODY
When viewed from the front, the locking lever is located at the rear on the left-
hand side. The body of the router is spring loaded, take care when releasing the
locking lever.
1. Grasp both handles and brace yourself before releasing the lever.
2. Press downwards to allow the body of the router to move down.
When you reduce the downward pressure, the springs force the router up and into
its highest position.
CAUTION: The housing of the router is under spring tension. When you release
!
the locking lever, it returns to its highest position.

DEPTH STOP

1. Locate the depth stop on the left-hand side of the router. This adjustable stop
is intended to limit the depth of the cut.
2. Locate the fixing screw for the depth stop.
3. Loosen it by turning it counter-clockwise.
4. To move the depth stop up or down, turn the stop adjuster either clockwise or
counter-clockwise.

SETTING THE WORKING DEPTH

To set the cutting depth:
1. Release the plunge locking lever and press the router downwards until the
desired depth is reached.
2. Re-lock the lever (Locking lever for router body).
3. To set the cutter to a fixed depth, set the depth stop and secure it with the
knob.
CUTTING IN SEVERAL OPERATIONS
For cutting in depth and in stages, use the depth-stop turret:
1. Using the depth scale set the desired depth to the lowest depth-stop position
on the turret.
2. Rotate the turret so that the highest point is under the depth stop and execute
the first cut.
3. Repeat the cut with the second highest setting and finally with the last setting.
4. You can also use two positions if the desired depth is reached in two opera-
tions.
