Dust Collection - Virutex FP114 Manual De Instrucciones

8. DUST COLLECTION

Always make sure that the tool is swit-
ched off and unplugged before fitting
or removing any dust extraction device.
Dust extraction keeps the workplace clean, prevents dust
build-up in the air and allows an easy waste elimination.
These saws are equipped with a dust extraction hole N
to which the nozzle (optional accessory) 8204077 (Fig. 4)
can be connected together our standard dust collection
systems attachment ref. 6446073 (2.25 m) or 1746245 (5
m) (optional accessories) to our dust collectors AS182K,
AS282K, ASM582T, ASC682 or to any industrial dust
collection system.
CAUTION: Always use a dust collector designed in
accordance with the applicable normatives regarding
sawdust emission.
9. SETTINGS
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before performing this operation.
9.1 MILLING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 5-8)
The adjustment of the milling depth may
only be carried out when the power tool
is switched off.
• Install the power tool on the even horizontal surface.
• Unscrew the locking screws 2 - this will provide for
the possibility to move the power tool body freely (see
Fig. 5.3).
• Unscrew the locknut 3 - this will provide for the
possibility to move the milling depth gauge 1 freely
(see Fig. 5.2-5.3)
• Move the milling depth gauge 1 upward (see Fig. 6.1).
• Lower the power tool body, so that the end of the
router bit could touch the work piece surface (see Fig.
6.2). Tighten the locking screws 2 while keeping the
power tool body in this position (see Fig. 6.3)
• Move the milling depth gauge 1 downward, till its
end touches the stop lug 4 (see Fig. 7.1). As a result,
you have locked the "zero position".
• To set the milling depth, move the milling depth gauge
1 upward (see Fig. 7.2) orienting by the scale 11 (it is
recommended to use an additional measurement tool
for more accurate installation).
• Tighten the locknut 3 to lock the set milling depth
(see Fig. 8.1).
• Unscrew the locking screws 2 - this will provide for the
possibility to move the power tool body freely (see Fig. 8.2)
• Move the power tool body downward when the end
of the milling depth gauge 1 touches the stop lug 4 the
set milling depth will be achieved (see Fig. 8.3). Tighten
the locking screws 2, while keeping the power tool body
in this position.
Milling direction
Milling should always be performed against the router
bit rotation direction. Otherwise, the power tool will
be subject to jerks, which may result in the loss of
control over it.
A very fast advance of the machine can
cause, in addition to a poor quality finish,
damage to the motor of the machine or the
bit. A very slow advance of the machine
can burn the cut of the bit.
The appropriate advance must be made
taking into account the diameter of the
bit, the hardness of the workpiece and the
depth of cut. It is recommended to make
a trial cut to check in a practical way the
proper working conditions (Fig.10).
Because an excessive depth can cause
overloading of the motor or difficulty
in controlling the machine, this depth
in one pass should not exceed 3 mm in
grooving work. If it is necessary to make
deeper grooves, make several passes of
3 mm until you reach the desired depth.
10. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE OF THE TOOL
While in operation, be sure to use the
parallel guide 17 - this will provide for
the required control over the power tool.
• Hold the piece to be worked
• Mark out and fix the treated workpiece.
• Set the required milling depth and lock the power tool
body in this position, as described above. 9.1 Milling
depth adjustment.
• Adjust the parallel guide 17, as described above. 10.1
Parallel guide
• Turn on the power tool. 8. Dust collection
• Hold the power tool using the handle with one hand and
hold the parallel guide 17 with the other hand (see Fig. 9)
• Perform the milling operation with a uniform advance,
observing the recommendations concerning the milling
direction. Do not apply extra effort - per-forming the
operation will take some time. Extra effort will not
