and 19). Example: 45° MITRE JOINT. Position the
front movable panel at the desired distance and
the movable fence at 45° (Fig. 20 and 21). Glue
and assemble (Fig. 22).
FRAME JOINTING
Frames can be mitre or square jointed. Two splines
are recommended if the thickness is greater than
25 mm. (Fig. 23, 24, 25).
LENGTHWISE JOINTING
For lengthwise jointing, the movable front panel
should be set at board thickness. Proceed as
indicated in
fi gures (Fig. 26, 27, 28).
CHANGING THE DISC
Remove the cover "A" fi xing bolts (Fig. 29).
Separate the base from the machine body (Fig.
30).
Remove the disc with the wrench, as shown in
(Fig. 31).
Clean the seat and follow the instructions for ass-
embly in reverse order (Fig. 32).
DEPTH ADJUSTEMENT
Put the depth regulator in the nº 20 position and
set the disc outlet at 12 mm with the nuts, main-
taining the machine in the cutting position (Fig.
33 and 34).
To check the depth, cut a groove, insert a piece
of board and mark with a pencil. Turn it over and
check that the mark coincides. If not, correct the
defect by adjusting the nuts. (Fig. 35).
Recommendations:
Keep the machine clean and lubricate the guides
periodically. They should never be left dry (Fig.
36 and 37).
Whenever performing any type of work on the
machine, disconnect it from the power supply
mantain the power cable and plug in good wor-
king condition.
MAINTENANCE
Brushes and commutator:
Remove the cover bolts "B" (Fig. 38 and 39) remove
it ot gain access to the brushes in their housings.
Lift the hold-down springs "C" and replace the brus-
hes with original VIRUTEX brushes. Make sure that
they move smoothly within the guides.
Reassemble as indicated above.
It is advisable to run the machine for 15 minutes after
Nº20 splines Ref.1405003:Dimensions:63x24x4
mm
LAYING OUT THE SLOTS
A pencil line is enough for this operation (Fig. 4
and 5). Position the reference mark on the machine
against it (Fig. 6, 7 and 8). Pencil lines can be made
using a ruler or a template, or even by eye.
JOINTING TO A PLANE SURFACE
For 16, 19 and 22 mm boards (for boards larger
than these use the movable front part and the
movable fence):
Place the piece to be assembled on the edge of
the previously drawn pencil line as shown in (Fig.
9). Mill the vertical grooves as shown in (Fig. 10)
and the horizontal grooves as shown in (Fig. 11).
Glue and assemble. (Fig. 12).
JOINTING AT AN END
For all board thicknesses use the movable front
panel and the movable fence.
Position the front movable panel at the desired
height or board thickness. Place the movable fence
panel in the 90° position and mill the slot (Fig. 13
and 14). Glue and assemble (Fig. 17).
Maximum displacement of the movable front panel
over the centre of the blade tool is 45 mm. (Fig.
15 and 16).
MITRE JOINTING
For all board thicknesses and angle, use the mo-
vable front panel and the movable fence (Fig. 18
