Here, too, one hand secures the
routing
motor, while the other hand releases the
clamping levers.
Step 1: Open the black locking levers
(7). When setting larger angles, depending
on the
router bit
diameter, make sure that the red locking levers
(8) are also
opened if necessary and that the entire
router
motor is moved in order to avoid
hitting the reduction plate.
Step 2: The movable upper scale has markings in 5° steps. The fixed lower scale
works in the same way as the 0.1 mm increments on a caliper gauge. The long mark
stands for +0°. The other markings increase the angle by 1° each time.
In order to be able to set the angle accurately to the degree, it is recommended to set
the next smaller grid point first. Setting the
fixed
point is described in 10.3.1. Next,
set the grid point starting from the required angle, in 5° steps, adjust the vernier
scale so that the long mark on the lower scale is flush with the corresponding 5° mark
on the upper scale. As a last step, adjust the angle so that the corresponding short
mark on the lower scale is flush with the mark on the upper scale.
