4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
Specially designed for trimming the concave radiuses in
the joints between rims and work tops made of materials
such as Corian or Rausolid. Fitted with a front feeler that
prevents the rim from becoming damaged and allows for
quick, easy trimming, giving a perfect finish.
The machine comes equipped with a dust collector con-
nection, and using the dust collector attachment, it can
be connected to our AS182K and AS282K dust collectors,
or to any other industrial dust collector.
The power cable can be fed through the brackets S (Fig.
11) on the dust collection tube to make the machine
easier to handle.
5. PREPARING THE MOULDING
To trim concave radiuses, a plate must be fitted between
the base of the work top and the rim. The size of the
plate depends on the desired radius, as shown in (Fig. 3).
The maximum trimmer radius that can be fitted on the
machine is 10 mm and the minimum is 5 mm.
6. STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE
To start the machine, press button A forward (Fig. 1)
to the "on" position. To stop the machine, simply press
the back of the switch and it will return to the "off"
position. The electronic control enables you to work at
the ideal speed for each type of job and cutter bit. To
do this, use button B (Fig. 1 and 2).
7. ADJUSTING THE BIT HEIGHT
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before making any adjustments to the
machine
.
Protector C does not need to be removed in order to
adjust the bit height (Fig. 4).
Loosen screw D (Fig. 4) using key E (Fig. 4) until the mo-
tor body F can move. Turn the eccentric G (Fig. 4) using
the same key E (Fig. 4) until the edge of the cutter bit
with radius H (Fig. 5) is level with the base I (Fig. 5) and
firmly tighten screw D (Fig. 4) in this position.
8. ADJUSTING THE FEELER
The machine includes feeler C (Figs. 5, 6 and 7) which acts
as a support guide and determines the depth of same.
We advise routing the desired radius in two or three
cuts in order to prevent vibrations and marks on the
finished radius. The feeler must be adjusted for each cut.
First cut:
To adjust the feeler for the first cut, loosen screws J (Fig.
6) with spanner E (Fig. 6) and move the feeler forward
until it can go no further.
Last cut:
To adjust the feeler for the last cut, loosen screws J (Fig.
6) and move the feeler until the edge of bit H (Fig. 6) is
level with the feeler. Since the bit is spiral, you will have
to turn it 360° in order to check this (Fig. 6).
To ensure that the edge and the feeler are accurately
aligned, use support ruler K (Fig. 6). Once the correct
position of the bit has been established, tighten screws
J again (Fig. 6).
Intermediate cut:
Should you wish to make the radius in 3 cuts, place the
feeler in an intermediate position, between the two
positions explained above.
Before routing radius (Fig. 7) on the work top, do a test
trim to check that the height of the cutter bit and the
position of the feeler are correctly set.
9. CHANGING THE BIT
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before performing this operation.
To change the cutter bit, first remove the feeler C (Fig.
6), removing the screws J (Fig. 6). Block the motor shaft
using key L, unscrew the nut with the key M (Fig. 8),
remove the worn bit and insert a new one. Hold it in
position by tightening the nut with key M and let it slide
until the edge rests on the support surface.
Adjust the height of the bit, as explained in the cor-
responding section (Fig. 5).
10. MAINTENANCE. CARBON
BRUSHES AND COMMUTATOR
