Cutting Direction - ITC SPT190 Manuel De L'utilisateur

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE ROUTER
1. Place the tool base on the workpiece while keeping the router bit out of contact
with the material.
2. Switch the tool on and wait until the router bit reaches full speed
3. If appropriate for the cut (e.g. a plunge cut) lower the tool body and bit into the
material.
4. Let the router bit cut into the material smoothly.
5. While cutting along edges make sure that the machine is always guided
against the direction of rotation of the cutter. While cutting along edges with
the direction of rotation the machine can shoot away unexpectedly.
6. Slide the tool forward on the surface of the workpiece while keeping the tool
base flat and moving steadily until the completion of the cut.
7. After use, bring the machine up into its resting position before switching off.
Switch off the machine and wait for the cutter to come to a complete stop
before putting the machine down
NOTE:
n
If the tool is moved too quickly, the quality of the cut will be low and damage to
the bit and/or the motor may result.
n
If it is moved too slowly, there could be a poor cutting effect due to heat. Opti-
mum speed depends on the size of the tool bit, type of workpiece and the cut
depth. It is advisable to make an experimental cut on similar waste material
before performing the actual cut.
CAUTION: Abnormal vibrations may be due to a blunt cutter head.
ADJUSTABLE SPEED
The speed setting is located at the front of the housing. Turn the dial to increase
or decrease the speed. The smaller the router bit cutter head the higher the
speed. The larger the router bit cutter head, the lower the speed. A router bit
cutter head, which runs too fast, causes scorching of the workpiece and leaves
burn marks.
WARNING: Do not change the speed when the machine is working under load.

CUTTING DIRECTION

To prevent the cutter head from jumping and to obtain a good result, carry out ex-
terior cuts in a counter clockwise direction and interior cuts in a clockwise direction.
ASSEMBLY OF EDGE GUIDE
1. Locate the Straight Edge Guide and guide rods.
2. Fasten the Straight Edge Guide to the guide rods with the adjusting screw.
3. Slide the guide rods into the corresponding castings on the router base.
4. Clamp the Scale onto one of the guide rods.
5. When the desired distance is attained, secure the Straight Edge Guide in
place with the adjusting screws.
USING THE EDGE GUIDE
The edge guide can be used for cutting parallel to the edge of the workpiece.
1. Release the four screws securing the edge guide and push them in so that the
guide is at the desired distance from the cutter head.
