1), which can be pressed with a finger. This enables
the user to start it up or stop it with no need to move
his hand from knob. To do this, activate the switch's
lateral stop C (Fig. 1) and, without releasing it, push
forward lever B. Stop C prevents the machine from
starting up accidentally.
6. ASSEMBLY OF THE CUTTING TOOLS
Assemble cutting tool D (Fig. 2, 3) in chuck E (Fig.
2), block the axis by pressing brace F (Fig. 3) and
insert wedge G (Fig. 3) to lock the fastening in place.
Tighten nut H (Fig. 2, 3) with the service key I (Fig. 3).
Avoid leaving the machine with no
tools installed, since the chuck could
be overtightened and damage the shaft.
7. BLOCKING OF THE BASE
The base can be locked in any position using knob
J (Fig. 1). When knob is loosened, the base will au-
tomatically return to its highest position due to the
action of the springs incorporated in the columns.
Following completion of any job, flick
the switch to OFF and release the base
using knob before leaving the router,
which must be on a flat surface.
8. ADJUSTING THE DEPTH
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH. The depth is adjusted using
the incorporated rack and pinion depth-adjustment
mechanism. With the cutter bit face flat against the
wood surface, the penetration depth may be adjusted
to up to 60 mm.
To unlock the depth rod K (Fig. 4) press down firmly
on adjustment knob L (Fig. 4) and turn it to raise or
lower the depth rod, if a greater or lesser cutting
depth is required. The gauged adjustment indicator
M (Fig. 4) can be moved separately from the knob, so
that it may be set to zero from any position using the
reference mark. When turning the knob after adjus-
ting the indicator, both elements will turn together,
thereby indicating the degree to which the rod has
been moved. A full turn of the knob moves the rod
by 34 mm, with a maximum distance of 55 mm.
To hold the depth rod in the required position, release
the pressure from the adjustment knob. Next, to
ensure that the knob is firmly held in place, it should
be locked using fastening knob N (Fig. 4). PRECI-
SION ADJUSTMENT. If you wish to make precision
adjustments to the previously set depth, simply turn
adjustment knob O (Fig. 4).
A full turn of the knob moves the rod by 1 mm, with
a maximum distance of 5 mm. Each division in the
gauged fine-adjustment indicator P (Fig. 4) represents
a movement of 0.1 mm.
MAKING DEEP CUTS. To perform cuts that are too
deep to carry out with a single cut, we recommend
making several successive cuts using the six 3-mm
steps in the revolving depth turret Q (Fig. 4).
Lower the machine until the cutting bit is level with
the surface on which the router is resting. Use locking
knob J (Fig. 1) to hold the machine in this position.
Loosen fastening knob N (Fig. 4), then press down
and turn adjustment knob L (Fig. 4) until the depth
rod presses against the lower step of the revolving
depth turret, using fine adjustment if required. In
this position, turn depth indicator M (Fig. 4) until
position zero matches the reference mark. This will
be the starting position indicating the point at which
the bit comes into contact with the material. Hold the
rod in place with knob N (Fig. 4), release the locking
knob and leave the machine in the off position.
Loosen fastening knob N, then press down and turn
adjustment knob L, moving the adjustment rod K
(Fig. 4) upwards to the required cut depth. Then use
knob N once again to turn turret Q (Fig. 4) until the
highest step is below rod K (Fig. 4). Make the first cut
on the material. Turn the turret Q to the next step and
then make another cut, and so on until the required
depth is obtained when the bottom step is reached.
9. LOCKING THE ROUTING DEPTH
To carry out several repetitive jobs in which the same
router depth is required, it may be useful to prevent
the head being released by accidentally moving the
locking knob J (Fig. 1). This may be done by inserting
two M8 nuts R (Fig. 4) in the threaded shaft, one
above and one below the head body. This locks the
head at any point along its depth setting.
When working with the depth locked,
the tool is permanently held outside the
surface of the base, so it is important to:
- Wait for the machine to stop completely before
leaving it on the base, on a flat surface which leaves
the tool free.
- Cancel the locked depth and return to the normal
conditions of locking by the knob J (Fig. 1) as soon
as the task has been completed.
