the position of the wheel using adjustment nut F (Fig. 8).
7. STARTING
To start the machine, press button R forward (Fig. 10) to
the on position. To stop the machine, simply press the
back of the switch and it will return to the off position.
The electronic control enables you to work at the ideal
speed for each type of job and bit. Adjust the speed
using button A1 (Fig. 2).
8.APPLICATIONS
The many options with the tilting head and the included
accessories give the FR292R a great deal of versatility
to perform such jobs as trimming, slotting, chamfering,
moulding, copying, etc.
8.1 TRIMMING SURFACES AND EDGES
WITH THE 90° CONICAL BIT
Trimming the coating of a surface (Fig. 11-a1),
and (Fig. 13):
• First set the head to 46° (Fig. 13), as described in
section 6.1.
• Loosen screw E (Fig. 13), raise the head so it just reaches
the top limit without forcing, by turning knob B (Fig.
13) clockwise, and fix it in this position.
• Position the base of the head approximately in the
middle of the bit edge by loosening knob D (Fig. 13)
and with the help of control Y and the fine adjustment
knob A (Fig. 13).
• Position feeler M (Fig. 13) so that the bearing is near
the bit and fix it in place using the screws H (Fig. 13).
• Adjust the position of the bearing, aligning it with
the bit, using nut F (Fig. 13) and fix in place with screw
M1 (Fig. 13).
• If the board is made of particularly coarse fibreboard,
you can use a large support surface lateral square instead
of the bearing feeler. This will prevent irregularities in
the board extending to the trim.
• Trim the excess covering from the surface.
Straight edge trimming (Fig. 11-b1) and (Fig. 14):
• Loosen screw E (Fig. 14) and lower the head by turning
knob B (Fig. 14) anti-clockwise, until its base is aligned
with the bit. Then tighten it in the new position. If knob
B (Fig. 14) has been turned as far as it will go and the
bit is still not aligned with the base, do not force the
knob; loosen knob D (Fig. 14) and lower the base of the
head, with knob A (Fig. 14), until aligned.
• Trim the excess edge.
Trimming chamfered edges:
• Chamfered edges may be trimmed to any angle from 5°
to 45°. To do this, loosen the screws N (Fig. 14) and turn
the body to the angle marked on the indicator, i.e. 45°,
plus the required chamfer. Then tighten the screws N.
E.g.: To trim a 30° chamfer, the head must be inclined
until the indicator marks 75°, or 90° for a 45° chamfer.
• Loosen screw E (Fig. 14) and lower the head by turning
knob B (Fig. 14) anti-clockwise, until its base is appro-
ximately in the middle of the bit edge. Then tighten it
in the new position.
• Adjust the position of the feeler bearing, using nut F
(Fig. 13) to obtain the required chamfer depth. Hold in
place with screw M1 (Fig. 13).
• Trim the edge chamfer.
8.2 TRIMMING SURFACES AND EDGES
WITH THE D.18 STRAIGHT BIT
Trimming the coating of a surface (Fig. 11-a2): First
attach the D.18 cylindrical bit, as described in section 5.1.
Attach the required cutter, using knobs D and Y the fine
adjustment A (Fig. 7).
Set the height of copying device M (Fig. 7), until the
wheel is on the edge and fix this position using nut F
(Fig. 7), so that the cutting edge of the cutter is flush
with the edge of the piece (Fig. 7).
With particularly coarse fibreboard, you can use the
large support surface lateral square instead of the
wheel feeler. This will prevent irregularities in the board
extending to the trimming.
Trim the surface coating of the pannel.
Straight edge trimming (Fig. 11-b2): Place the motor at
91.5º (Fig. 8), following the instructions in section 6.1.
Locate the cutting edge on the edge to be trimmed (Fig.
9). To do so, move the wheel on the copying device M
(Fig. 8) to the edge of a section and then locate the
cutter by moving the motor in the opposite direction to
the wheel, using wheel Y and fine adjustment A (Fig. 8).
Trim the rest of the edge.
8.3 TRIMMING EDGES WITH A SHAPED BIT
Edges can also be trimmed at an angle (Fig. 12) or
chamfered (Fig. 11-c-d), from the vertical or horizontal
motor position, if you have the corresponding profile bit.
8.4 CHAMFERING WITH A STRAIGHT CUTTER
Tilt the motor to 45° or the required angle between 0
and 91.5°, set the copying shaft or lateral square, the
depth and then begin to cut (Fig. 11-f1).
8.5 SLOTTING
Place the lateral square W (Fig. 5) at the required distance;
set the slot depth by turning wheel Y and fine adjustment
A (Fig. 5) then begin to cut (Fig. 11-g1-h-i-g2).
8.6 CUTTING COPIES WITH
ANY TEMPLATE (Fig. 11-j)
Copies may be cut from a template by mounting a
copier or template guide L (Fig. 4) suitable for the
13
