Press the spindle lock (12) and allow the spindle
to engage by turning it at the same time.
Undo the clamp nut (10) using the open-ended
spanner (22).
If necessary take the cutter you wish to remove
out of the clamp (23).
Select the appropriate cutting tool for the job in
hand.
Select the appropriate clamp for the cutter (23).
Now fit the clamp (23) and nut (10) into the
cutting spindle.
Guide the cutter shaft into the clamp.
Press and hold the spindle lock (12).
Tighten the clamp nut (10) using the open-ended
spanner (22).
The cutter must be inserted at least 20 mm into
the clamp (23).
Before you start the electric router, check to
ensure that the cutting tool is secure and runs
smoothly.
5.7 Adjusting the end stops (Fig. 14/Item 15)
The height of the end stops (15) can be adjusted as
required. To do this, undo the lock nut on the end
stop (15) and turn it to the required stop height using
a screwdriver.
Important. Remove the setting and assembly
tools before starting the machine
6. Operation
Never use a low quality or damaged cutter. Use
only cutting tools with a shaft diameter of 6 mm
or 8 mm. The cutters must also be designed for
the appropriate idling speed.
Secure the workpiece so that it cannot be thrown
through the air as you work on it. Use clamps or
a vise.
Always guide the power cable away from the
back of the tool.
Never cut over metal parts, screws, nails etc.
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 17/Item 4)
Press the safety lock-off (5) and then press the
ON/OFF switch (4) to switch on the machine.
Release the ON/OFF switch (4) to switch off the
machine.
6.2 Speed control (Fig. 18 – Item 11)
The best speed depends on the material and the
diameter of the cutter. Select a speed between
11,000 and 30,000 rpm using the speed control
switch (11). You can choose from 6 different switch
positions. The speeds in the various switch positions
are as follows:
Switch position 1: approx. 11,000 rpm (minimum
speed)
Switch position 2: approx. 16,000 rpm
Switch position 3: approx. 21,000 rpm
Switch position 4: approx. 25,000 rpm
Switch position 5: approx. 29,000 rpm
Switch position 6: approx. 30,000 rpm (maximum
speed)
To increase the speed:
Move the speed control switch (11) in the plus
direction.
To reduce the speed:
Move the speed control switch (11) in the minus
direction.
6.3 Adjusting the routing depth (Fig. 12 – 16)
Place the machine on the workpiece.
Undo the wing screw (16) and fixing handle (9).
Slowly move the machine downwards until the
cutter makes contact with the workpiece.
Tighten the fixing handle (9).
Set the fine adjuster (20) to 0 as shown in Fig.
13.
Adjust the revolver end stop (14) so that the
depth stop (19) is above the end stop (15) set to
the lowest height.
Lower the depth stop (19) until it touches the end
stop (15). Then tighten the wing screw (16).
Set the pointer (17) to the zero point on the scale
(18).
Undo the wing screw (16). Push the depth stop
(19) upwards until the pointer (17) points at the
required cutting depth on the scale (18). Tighten
the wing screw again.
Test the setting by completing a test cut on a
waste piece.
Now you can carry out the final adjustment of the
cutting depth. To do this turn the fine adjuster
(20) to the required dimension.
Turn the fine adjuster (20) counter-clockwise: greater
cutting depth
Turn the fine adjuster (20) clockwise: lower cutting
depth
