Always select a low speed for cutting plastic
workpieces.
Do not put the machine down when the motor is still
running. Do not place the machine on a dusty surface.
Dust particles may enter the mechanism.
Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
Hold the machine in rest position on the workpiece when
switching the machine on or off. The cutter in the collet may
damage the workpiece.
•
Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the
workpiece cannot slide from under the machine during
the cutting activities.
•
Hold the machine firmly and move it evenly over the
workpiece. Do not force the machine.
•
Only use cutters which do not show any signs of wear.
Worn cutters have a negative effect on the efficiency of
the machine.
•
Always switch off the machine first before removing the
plug from the wall socket.
HEIGHT SETTING OF THE ROUTER
COLUMN
Fig. G
Button (14) is used to set the maximum height of the
router.
The plunge depth is then fixed. This is usually necessary
when using the tool on a special router table.
Rough setting:
•
Loosen the clamping lever (11). The router can then
be pushed down against the spring force.
•
Hold button (14) between your thumb and index
finger.
•
Push the grey button (14) and use your other hand to
push the router down at the same time.
•
Release the button. The router is now locked and
will no longer return to its original position.
Fine adjustment:
•
Turn button (14) clockwise. This causes the router
column to slowly move down.
•
Turn button (14) counter-clockwise. This causes the
router column to slowly move up.
SETTING THE PLUNGE DEPTH
Fig. G
The plunge depth can be adjusted by using buttons 8, 9,
11 and 15. If the plunge depth is set correctly, the groove
in question can be routed accurately to within 0.1 mm.
Preparation:
•
Place the desired cutter in the tool.
•
Loosen the clamping lever (11). The router can then
be pushed down against the spring force.
•
Push the tool down until the cutter touches the
workpiece, then relock it using the clamping lever
(11).
•
Loosen button 9 (counter-clockwise).
•
Set button 15 to zero.
•
Use button 8 to set the depth all the way down.
•
Tighten button 9 (clockwise). The plunge depth is
now set to precisely 0 mm.
Rough setting:
•
Read the value from the scale (12).
•
Loosen button 9 (counter-clockwise).
•
Turn button 8 and re-read the value from the scale.
The difference between the two values is the plunge
depth setting. For example: If the value on the scale
(12) is 8.5 in the zero-setting and the value is 7.0 after
button (8) has been turned, then the plunge depth
has been set to 1.5 cm.
•
Retighten button 9 (clockwise).
Fine adjustment:
•
Loosen button 9 (counter-clockwise).
•
The top button (15) is still set to zero. Give this
button a full counter-clockwise turn, until it is back in
the zero position. The plunge depth is now 1.0 mm
less.
•
If required, the plunge depth can be set accurately to
within 0.1 mm.
•
Retighten button 9.
Adjustment using the revolver- depth stop
The revolver-depth stop enables you to quickly choose
between six different cutting depths. These are also
determined by the adjustment of the depth stop (10).
•
Adjust the required cutting depth by rotating the
revolver-depth stop (21).
MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live when
carrying out maintenance work on the motor.
The Ferm machines have been designed to operate over
a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper machine care and regular cleaning.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened
with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol,
alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please
contact the service address on the warranty card. In the
back of this manual you find an exploded view showing
the parts that can be ordered.
ENVIRONMENT
In order to prevent the machine from damage during
transport, it is delivered in a sturdy packaging. Most of
the packaging materials can be recycled. Take these
materials to the appropriate recycling locations.
