Select the appropriate cutting tool for the job in
hand.
Select the appropriate clamp for the cutter (23).
Now fit the clamp (23) and nut (10) into the
cutting spindle.
Guide the cutter shaft into the clamp.
Press and hold the spindle lock (12).
Tighten the clamp nut (10) using the open-ended
spanner (22).
The cutter must be inserted at least 20 mm into
the clamp (23).
Before you start the electric router, check to
ensure that the cutting tool is secure and runs
smoothly.
Important. Remove the setting and assembly
tools before starting the machine
6. Operation
Never use a low quality or damaged cutter. Use
only cutting tools with a shaft diameter of 6 mm
or 8 mm. The cutters must also be designed for
the appropriate idling speed.
Secure the workpiece so that it cannot be thrown
through the air as you work on it. Use clamps or
a vise.
Always guide the power cable away from the
back of the tool.
Never cut over metal parts, screws, nails etc.
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 16/Item 4)
Press the safety lock-off (5) and then press the
ON/OFF switch (4) to switch on the machine.
Release the ON/OFF switch (4) to switch off the
machine.
6.2 Speed control (Fig. 17 – Item 11)
The best speed depends on the material and the
diameter of the cutter. Select a speed between
16,000 and 32,000 rpm using the speed control
switch (11). You can choose from 7 different switch
positions. The speeds in the various switch positions
are as follows:
Switch position 1: approx. 16,000 rpm (minimum
speed)
Switch position 2: approx. 17,000 rpm
Switch position 3: approx. 19,000 rpm
Switch position 4: approx. 22,000 rpm
Switch position 5: approx. 25,000 rpm
Switch position 6: approx. 28,000 rpm
Switch position 7: approx. 32,000 rpm (maximum
speed)
To increase the speed:
Move the speed control switch (11) in the plus
direction.
To reduce the speed:
Move the speed control switch (11) in the minus
direction.
6.3 Adjusting the routing depth (Fig. 12 – 15)
Place the machine on the workpiece.
Undo the wing screw (16) and fixing handle (9).
Slowly move the machine downwards until the
cutter makes contact with the workpiece.
Tighten the fixing handle (9).
Set the depth stop (19) to the required routing
depth using the scale and secure it with the wing
screw (16).
Test the setting by completing a test cut on a
waste piece.
6.4 Routing
To avoid damage to the router, make sure there
are no foreign objects attached to the workpiece.
Connect the mains plug to a suitable socket.
Hold the tool using both of its handles (7).
Place the router on the workpiece.
Set the cutting depth as described in point 6.3.
Select the speed as described in point 6.2 and
switch the machine on (see point 6.1).
Test the machine settings using a piece of
waste.
Operate the tool at full speed. Only then should
you lower the router to its working height and
lock the machine with the locking grip (9).
Cutting direction:
The cutting tool turns clockwise.
To avoid accidents you must always cut against the
direction in which the tool turns (Fig. 18).
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 find the best
working speed for the workpiece very easily.
Feed speed too low:
The cutter could heat up excessively. If you are
cutting inflammable material such as wood, the
workpiece could ignite.
