Cutting direction:
The cutting tool turns clock-
wise. To avoid accidents you must always cut
against the direction in which the tool turns (Fig.
19).
Feed speed:
It is very important to machine
the workpiece at the correct feed speed. We
recommend that before you machine the actual
workpiece, you carry out several trial cuts on a
waste piece of the same type. This will enable you
to
fi
nd the best working speed for the workpiece
very easily.
Feed speed too low:
The cutter could heat up excessively. If you are
cutting in
fl
ammable material such as wood, the
workpiece could ignite.
Feed speed too high:
The cutter could be damaged. Cutting quality:
Rough and uneven.
Allow the cutter to come to a complete standstill
before removing the workpiece or putting down
the router.
6.5 Routing in stages
Depending on the hardness of the material you
wish to cut and the cutting depth, it may be a
good idea to proceed in stages.
•
Adjust the end stops as described in point
5.7.
•
If you wish to route in several stages, turn the
end stop revolver (14) after you have set the
cutting depth as described in point 6.3 so that
the depth stop (19) is over the highest end
stop (25).
•
Now route in this setting. After completing the
first routing operation, adjust the end stop
revolver (14) so that the depth stop (19) is
above middle end stop (25). Now complete a
routing operation in this setting as well.
•
Now set the lowest end stop (25) and finish
the routing.
6.6 Routing circles with the compass point
(13)
Proceed as follows to route circles around a cen-
tre point:
•
Fit and adjust the compass point (13) as de-
scribed in point 5.4.
•
Place the compass point (13) on the centre
point of the circle you wish to route and apply
pressure to it.
•
Complete the routing operation as described
in point 6.4.
6.7 Routing with the parallel stop (21)
Proceed as follows to route along a straight outer
edge of a workpiece:
•
Fit the parallel stop (21) as described in point
5.3.
•
Guide the parallel stop (21) along the outer
edge of the workpiece.
•
Complete the routing operation as described
in point 6.4.
6.8 Free-hand routing
The router can also be operated without any
guide rods. You can use it for freehand routing for
creative work such as the production of logos.
•
Use a very flat cutter setting for this purpose.
•
Check the direction in which the cutter is tur-
ning as you machine the workpiece (Fig. 19).
6.9 Shape and edge cutting (Fig. 20)
•
Special cutters with a guide ring may be used
for cutting shapes (a) and edges (b).
•
Fit the cutter.
•
Carefully guide the machine on to the workpi-
ece.
•
Guide the guide journal or ball bearing (c)
along the workpiece with gentle pressure.
Warning!
For deep cuts, carry out the work in several
steps according to the material in question.
Hold the router in two hands when carrying
out all cutting work.
7. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
