5.3 Mains connection
Mains connection and any extension cords used must
comply with applicable regulations.
The mains voltage must comply with the information on the
machine licence plate.
The mains connection must have a 10 A surge-proof fuse.
Only use power cords marked H07RN-F.
Connections and repairs to the electrical equipment may
only be carried out by qualified electricians.
5.4 Dust collection
Use a suitable dust collection and filtration system to avoid
a high dust concentration in the air.
Dust the machine down after each use and as necessary.
5.5 Starting operation
You can start the machine with the green on button. The red
button on the main switch stops the machine.
6. Machine operation
Set the depth stop rod (B, Fig 3) to the required depth of
cut.
Fig 3
Adjust the fence.
Adjust the hold down so it touches the top of the workpiece
and allows it to slide left or right.
Turn on the machine and feed chisel and bit steadily into
the workpiece by pulling down the operating handle.
NOTE:
The rate of feed must be fast enough to prevent burning at
the tip of the drill bit, but not so fast as to cause the machine
to stall. The different rates of feed for different woods must
be learned by experience.
After the first cut, the workpiece is moved. The direction of
movement must allow the chips to clear freely (Fig 4).
Fig 4
When cutting deep mortises, make the cut in several stages
of approx. 25mm each, to allow chips to clear.
To prevent breakout at the back of the workpiece when
cutting through mortises, use a piece of scrap material
under the workpiece as support.
Warning:
Make sure the machine is attached to a firm and stable
support surface, to prevent it from tipping during operation.
Four holes in the base are supplied for this purpose.
Always keep your hands well clear of the rotating bit.
Always close the chuck cover before you start the machine.
Support long workpieces with helping roller stands.
7. Setup and adjustments
General note:
Setup and adjustment work may only be carried out
after the machine is protected against accidental
starting by pulling the mains plug.
7.1 Installing chisel and bit
Disconnect the machine from the power source (unplug).
Open the chuck access doors on both sides of the head.
Insert the chisel bushing (3, Fig 5) with the hole facing
forward into the head.
Insert chisel and bit together.
Tighten the screw (2) just enough to hold the chisel (4) in
place.
