Finish sanding
In order to sand a constant thickness along the length
of a convex surface, or to give a continuous finishing
pass, proceed as follows:
Set the pass depth to "0" using knob G (Fig. 6). Loosen
knobs J and K that fasten the skid H and the base I (Fig.
6). Place the planer on the surface to be sanded, adapting
the skid H and the base I to it and fixing them in place
using knobs J and K, respectively (Fig. 6). Ensure the
parallelism of the skid and the base by checking that
the same level is indicated on the guide marker L on the
struts M (Fig. 6) on both sides of the planer. Adjust the
desired cutting depth using the knob G (Fig. 6).
To sand the piece, use the skid as the supporting sur-
face to begin the cut, gradually shifting the support
to the entire base as you progress.
7.3 SANDING OF FLAT SURFACES
Loosen knobs J and K (Fig. 7) in order to release the
front skid and the base from the curvature struts.
Set the skid H to "0" using knob G (Fig. 7).
Place the planer on a flat surface and press down on
the rear part of the base I, so that it adapts to the
horizontal plane; then tighten knob K (Fig. 7). Set the
skid H to the desired cutting depth using the knob G
and tighten knob J in this position (Fig. 7).
8. CHANGING THE ABRASIVE ROLLER
Unplug the machine from the electrical
outlet before performing any mainte-
nance operation.
In order to change the abrasive roller, proceed as
follows:
- Loosen knob N (Fig. 8)
- Remove the protective cover O (Fig. 8), first lifting
it by the tab and swivelling it until the abrasive roller
P can be accessed freely (Fig. 8)
- Loosen the lock nut Q (Fig. 8)
- Remove the abrasive roller P (Fig. 8), sliding it off
laterally.
Ensure that the roller head S (Fig. 9) is
totally free of chips, dust, etc, before
installing the new abrasive roller.
Before inserting the new roller, also check that the
O-ring seals T-U (Fig. 9) are in good condition and
show no signs of cracking or pitting, and are correctly
fitted in place.
Insert the new roller, following the steps provided
for disassembly in inverse order.
9. CHANGING O-RING SEALS
If it is observed that O-ring seals are worn out,
proceed as follows to replace them:
- Remove the nut Q, the press cap V and the O-ring
seals T (Fig. 9), replacing them with new original
VIRUTEX seals.
- Remove the O-ring seals U from their grooves in
the roller head S and press cap V, replacing them
with new original VIRUTEX seals (Fig. 9)
10. CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION BELT
Unscrew screws W (Fig. 10) and remove protection
X. Replace the worn belt Y with a VIRUTEX original
spare, taking care to fit it correctly into the pulley
cogs, never forcing it.
11. MAINTENANCE OF THE
BRUSHES AND COLLECTOR
Disconnect from the mains before
carrying out any maintenance ope-
rations.
The brushes must be replaced when they reach a
minimum length of 5 mm (Fig. 9)
Unscrew the black caps Z (Fig. 9) on the housing and
remove the brushes from the guide. Replace them
with new Virutex original spares, ensuring that they
move smoothly inside the guides. Screw on the cap
which covers them and leave the machine running
for 15 minutes.
If the collector is burned or uneven
it should be repaired by a Virutex
service agent.
12. CLEANING THE MACHINE
It is important to always clean the machine carefully
after use with a dry air blower.
Keep the power cable in perfect condition.
Keep the machine's vent and cooling openings clean
and unobstructed.
