The column clamping can also be deactivated, for
instance to drill rows of holes without having to
constantly actuate the column clamping lever 18 (see
Fig. 5). To do so, keep the column clamping lever 18
depressed. Insert an Allen wrench (2.5 mm) into the
hexagon and turn 90° in clockwise direction.
Releasing is done in reverse order.
6.4.2 Revolving depth stop
The revolving depth stop 15 (Fig. 6) can be used to set
three different milling depths. In addition, a fine
adjustment of the highest and medium milling depth
can be made via two grub screws 21.
To prevent a misadjustment of the milling depth in case
of an accidental actuation of the column clamping lever
18 (Fig. 1), the depth stop can be hooked into the
revolving depth stop:
•
First move the revolving depth stop 15 all the way
to the left.
•
Then turn the revolving depth stop 15 in anti-
clockwise direction.
•
Now hook in the bar of the depth stop 1 (Fig. 1)
by turning the revolving depth stop 15 in
clockwise direction.
6.4.3 Adjustment of milling depth according to
scale
The milling depth is set via the scale 3 (Fig. 1) for the
depth stop.
•
Clamp the milling cutter and place the machine
onto the workpiece.
•
Actuate the column clamping lever 18 (Fig. 2)
and keep it depressed.
•
Move the machine downwards until the milling
cutter touches the workpiece surface. Now
release the column clamping lever 18.
•
Open the cam lever 17 (Fig. 1).
•
Adjust depth stop 1 up to the stop screw on the
revolving depth stop 15.
•
Set the slidable scale needle on the depth stop 1
to the zero point of scale 3.
•
Set the depth stop 1 to the desired milling depth
and clamp it with the cam lever 17.
•
Actuate the column clamping lever 18 (Fig. 2) to
actuate a reverse stroke.
6.4.4 Fine adjustment of milling depth
If a delicate correction of the milling depth should
become necessary, this is done by turning the fine
adjustment 16 (Fig. 1). One turn of the adjusting nut
causes a milling depth adjustment of 1 mm. The entire
travel of the fine adjustment is approx. 10 mm.
6.5 Work instructions
Hold onto the machine with both
hands during operation.
6.5.1 Plunge milling
A reduction plate reducing the tool opening to Ø 32 mm
is mounted on the underside of the base plate 14 (Fig.
1). The reduction plate facilitates machining in angular
wooden areas and reduces the risk of slipping.
If necessary, the reduction plate can be removed to the
top.
During milling ensure that the workpiece is secured
and the router is resting evenly against the workpiece
with the base plate 14 and / or the limit stops on an as
large as possible surface.
Mill large depths progressively.
Once you have set the milling cutter speed, firmly hold
onto the machine with both hands and switch on the
machine. Actuate the column clamping lever 18 (Fig.
2) and plunge the milling cutter into the material up to
the stop with an even feed. Releasing the column
clamping lever 18 locks the machine. Only mill in
counter direction.
6.5.2 Milling with parallel guide fence
The parallel guide fence is used to accurately guide the
machine along a straight workpiece edge (see Fig. 7).
The parallel guide fence is included in the scope of
supply.
Conversion:
•
Push the guide rods 22 into the two openings of
the base plate.
•
Roughly set the parallel guide fence to the
desired distance to the milling cutter and tighten
the wing screws 23.
•
Use knurled screw 24 to accurately set the
distance to the milling cutter and then tighten the
wing screws 25.
