Stationary use of router
motors
1.
Please note the re-
gulations about safely handling
machines featuring vertical
milling spindles.
2.
Always use a pushing
stick or pushing block if the
milled workpiece is shorter
than 300 mm or if you are
machining the last 300 mm of a
longer milling process.
3.
Make sure that the
router bit does not collide with
the reducing ring. Always select
the smallest possible reducing
ring.
4.
When routing
freehand using the starting
pin exclusively use router bits
with ball bearing pilots. Use
the starting pin like a guide
ramp towards the router bit. It
is paramount to secure small
workpieces on a larger retaining
plate.
5.
Whenever possible
use a retaining device for the
workpiece. Make sure that the
device has been securely fas-
tened on the workbench. The
table surface must be around
hip height. This is the only way
to prevent potential rebounding
and sudden reactions in cont-
rary to the feed direction.
6.
If necessary, extend
the contact surface for the
workpiece to counteract uncon-
trolled tilting of the workpiece.
7.
Use a protective
switch. Make sure that it has
been securely fastened, it is
easily accessible and has been
connected correctly.
8.
Stand on the right-
hand side in front of the router
table (router hanging down-
ward). Viewed from above the
router bit rotates counter-clock-
wise. Consequently advance
must be from right to left, i.e.
in contrary to the direction of
rotation of the bit.
9. Do not reach under
the table or move your hands
or fi ngers into the milling path
as long as the router is swit-
ched on.
10.
Do not guide wood
between the bit and the fence.
Useful information about
routing
1.
Base your feed rate
on motor noise. Push at a cons-
tant speed. If the workpiece is
advanced too slowly, this may
cause burns or traces of burns
on the wood.
2.
We recommend trial
cuts on off -cuts.
Service, maintenance,
repairs
1.
Always keep the
accessories clean and in good
condition.
2.
Keep protective
equipment in operation and
keep it in good condition.
3.
Carefully service
your equipment and router
bits. Keep bits clean and sharp
to improve results. Do not use
blunt bits. Comply with the
specifi cations on lubrication and
bit change. Keep handles dry,
clean, and free from oil and
lubricant.
4.
Service accessories.
Do not use damaged accesso-
ries. Use accessories recom-
mended by the manufacturer
only.
Router bit repairs/main-
tenance
1.
Exclusively repair the
router bit as specifi ed by the
manufacturer.
2.
The shape of a
carbide-tipped router bit must
not be changed during repairs.
Assembled tools must be repai-
red by corresponding specialist
personnel.
3.
Tolerances that gua-
rantee secure clamping must be
adhered to.
4.
Repairs must be
carried out using spare parts
specifi ed by the manufacturer.
5. Make sure that
re-sharpening the cutting edges
does not weaken the body of
the router bit.
