Adjusting the Depth-of-cut on the Non-plunge
Base (see figure H)
For adjustment of the depth-of-cut, proceed as
follows:
– Open the clamping lever for the non-plunge
base
20
.
– Coarse adjustment for the depth-of-cut can
be preset in 3 steps. For this, push the
clamping lever
26
and slide the routing motor
1
up or down in the non-plunge base
3
. With
the clamping lever
26
released, ensure that
the routing motor is locked in one of the
3 coarse adjustment notches
27
. Each of the
notches have a clearance of 12.7 mm.
– The adjustment knob
25
is used for fine ad-
justment of the depth-of-cut. Turning in
clockwise direction increases the depth-of-
cut and turning in anticlockwise direction de-
creases the depth-of-cut. The depth-of-cut
travel is graduated in inch and millimeter on
the scale of the adjustment knob
25
. The
maximum adjustment range is 23 mm. The
scale for depth-of-cut adjustment
24
is used
for additional guidance.
Example:
The required depth-of-cut shall be
10.0 mm; the test cut resulted to a depth-of-
cut of 9.5 mm.
– Set the scale of the adjustment knob
25
to
“0” without changing the setting of the ad-
justment knob
25
itself. Then set the adjust-
ment knob
25
to the value “0.5” by turning in
clockwise direction.
– Check the selected depth-of-cut by carrying
out another trial cut.
Working Advice
Direction of Feed and Routing Process
(see figure I)
f
The routing process must always be carried
out against the rotation direction of the
router bit 18 (up-cutting motion). When
routing in the direction with the rotation of
the router (down-cutting), the machine can
break loose, eliminating control by the user.
For routing with the plunge base
2
, proceed as
follows:
– Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section
“Adjusting the Depth-of-cut”
.
– Place the machine with the router bit mount-
ed on the workpiece to be machined and
switch the power tool on.
– Push the release lever for the plunge base
21
downward and slowly lower the multifunc-
tion router until the set depth-of-cut is
reached. Let go of the release lever
21
again
in order to lock the plunging depth.
– Carry out the routing process applying uni-
form feed.
– After finishing the routing process, guide the
multifunction router back to the uppermost
position.
– Switch the power tool off.
For routing with the non-plunge base
3
, proceed
as follows:
–
Note:
Take into consideration that for rout-
ing work with the non-plunge base
3
, the
router bit
18
always protrudes out of the
base plate
12
. Do not damage the template
or the workpiece.
– Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section
“Adjusting the Depth-of-cut”
.
– Switch the machine on and guide it to the lo-
cation subject to routing.
– Carry out the routing process applying uni-
form feed.
– Switch the power tool off. Do not place the
power tool down until the router bit has
come to a standstill.
Routing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure J)
For working large workpieces, e. g., when rout-
ing grooves, a board or straight edge can be se-
curely fastened to the workpiece as an auxiliary
guide. The multifunction router can be guided
alongside the path of this auxiliary guide. When
using the plunge base
2
, guide the guide plate
(flattened side) of the multifunction router
alongside the auxiliary guide.
