Setting The Depth-Of-Cut - Ratio PRO XF2100 Manual De Instrucciones

machine cannot be locked; it must remain
pressed during the entire operation.
Speed Pre-selection
The required speed can be pre-selected with the
thumb-wheel (19) (also whilst running).
1 – 2 = low speed
3 – 4 = medium speed
5 – 6 = high speed
The required speed is dependent on the material
and can be determined by practical testing.
After longer periods of working at low speed,
allow the machine to cool down by running it for
approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with no
load.

The values shown in the chart are standard
values. The necessary speed depends on the
material and the operating conditions, and can
be determined by practical testing.
Constant Electronic Control and Soft Start
Constant electronic control maintains the speed
constant at no-load and under most working
conditions. Soft start delays the increase in motor
speed to reduce the motor "kick" or torque effect
to improve operator comfort and safety.

4. SETTING THE DEPTH-OF-CUT

Depending on the cutting operation, the depth-of
cut can be preset in several steps.
The adjustment of the depth-of-cut may only be
carried out when the router is switched off.
Coarse Adjustment of the Depth-of-cut
Place the router on the work-piece to be
machined.
Set the fine adjustment for depth-of-cut in the
centre position with fine-adjustment knob (1); to
do this, turn the fine-adjustment knob until the
markings (23) on the backside of the router are
in alignment, as shown. Afterwards turn scale (2)
to "0" (See D). Set step buffer (8) to the lowest
position; the buffer snaps-in noticeably.
Loosen locking screw (6), so that depth stop (7)
can be moved freely.
Speed
Release the clamping lever (16) by turning in
stages
clockwise direction and slowly lower the router
until the router bit touches the surface of the
5–6
workpiece. Lock the router in position by turning
3–4
the clamping lever in anti-clockwise direction.
Press depth stop downwards until it touches
1–2
the step buffer (8). Adjust the depth stop (7) to
5–6
the required routing depth and tighten the wing
3–6
screw (6). Release the clamping lever and guide
the router back up again.

The coarse adjustment of the depth-of-cut
should be checked by a trial cut and corrected, if

necessary.

Fine Adjustment of the Depth-of-cut
After a trial cut, fine adjustment can be carried
out by turning the fine adjustment knob (1 scale
mark = 0.1 mm/1 rotation = 2.0 mm). The
maximum adjustment is approx. +/– 8 mm.
Example: Slide router upwards again and
measure the depth-of-cut (set value = 10.0 mm;
actual value = 9.8 mm).
Lift up router and underlay guide plate (10) in
such a manner that the router can plunge freely
without the router bit touching the work-piece.
Lower the router again until the depth stop
