Dust extraction outlet (Fig. 6)
It is advised to use the dust extraction outlet. You can purchase
a suitable commercial vacuum cleaner or extract the dust via an
extractor tube while the cutting machine is in operation. The
outlet must project out of the rear of the machine. Two bolts
and nuts are supplied to attach it.
Hold the dust extraction outlet (14) in position and lay the cutting machine on
its side.
Push the screw through the hole of the template guide (a), dust extraction
outlet (14) and router’s base plate (8) and until it projects at the fastening
point for the dust extraction outlet.
Tighten the screw with a suitable screwdriver and moderate force until the
outlet is securely attached.
Repeat the procedure at the other side.
CAUTION: Dust may cause respiratory problems. Certain
laminated board materials are carcinogenic. After work, always
remove all dust from the machine.

Using the dust exhaust connection
The dust exhaustion outlet (14) shall be connecting together with an external
vacuum cleaner to take away the dust in dust cover.
If necessary, place an adapter on the dust exhaust.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8.1
Cutting in several operations (Fig. 7)
The length-stop turret (9) can be used to set different depths.
For cutting in depth and in stages, use the length-stop turret (9) as an aid. Using
the depth stop set the desired depth to the lowest depth-stop position on the
turret. Rotate the turret so that the highest point is under the depth stop and
execute the first cut. Repeat the cut with the second-highest setting and finally
with the last setting. You can also use two positions if the desired depth is reached
in two operations.
8.2
Switching on and off (Fig. 8-9)
Connect the plug to the power supply.
To switching the tool on, keep the lock-off button (12) depressed and press
the ON/OFF switch trigger (11).
To switching the tool off, release the ON/OFF switch trigger (11).
To adjust the cutting
speed, turn the speed control dial (2). Position “1”
denotes the lowest speed. Position “7” denotes the highest speed. Turn the
knob to increase or decrease the speed. The smaller the cutter head, the
higher the speed. The larger the cutter head, the lower the speed. A cutter
head which runs too fast causes scorching of the work-piece and leaves burnt
marks.
