•
Turn the router upside down.
•
Press the spindle lock (e1) and turn the spindle until the lock engages.
•
Using a wrench (e2), loosen the spindle nut (14) and screw it completely off, including the collet (d2).
•
Choose the appropriate collet for the selected mould cutter (6 or 8 mm). The stem diameter of the
mould cutter must agree with that of the collet.
•
Insert the stem of the mould cutter (d1) into the collet (d2).
•
Put the mould cutter with collet (d2) and nut (14) into the router spindle, and screw it with hand. The
mould cutter stem must protrude at least 3mm out of the nut!
•
Press the spindle lock (e1) again and tighten the spindle nut with wrench (e2).
•
The mould cutter depth must be re-adjusted.
Note:
Never tighten the collet nut, if there is no tool in the collet; the collet may be damaged.
Cutter depth adjustment
The mould cutter depth can be adjusted in different ways.
Adjustment with an arbitrary object
You can simply cut as deep as the height of any chosen object.
•
Insert the appropriate mould cutter.
•
Set the adjustable depth stopper (7) so that the depth measuring stick (9) is brought down to the
lowest level.
•
Loosen the set screw (8) of the depth measuring stick.
•
Loosen the height adjuster (12) and press the mould cutting tool with the handle far under, so that it
touches the workpiece.
•
Secure this adjustment by tightening the height adjuster (12).
•
Lift the depth measuring stick (9) up.
•
Lay your selected object between the lowest level of the depth stopper (7) and the depth measuring
stick (9). The metal point (b1) of the depth measuring stick (9) must touch the selected object.
•
Secure this adjustment by tightening the set screw (8) of the depth measuring stick. The mould
cutter depth is now set.
•
Loosen the height adjuster (12) to get the mould cutter ready for operation.
Adjustment in 3 mm intervals
The adjustable depth stopper (7) allows a quick approximate adjustment in 3 mm intervals.
•
Insert the appropriate mould cutter.
•
Set the adjustable depth stopper (7) so that the depth measuring stick (9) is brought down to the
lowest level.
•
Loosen the set screw (8) of the depth measuring stick.
•
Loosen the height adjuster (12) and press the mould cutting tool with the handle far under, so that it
touches the workpiece.
•
Secure this adjustment by tightening the height adjuster (12).
•
Lift up the depth measuring stick (9) a little.
•
Now adjust the depth stopper (7) by turning it.
•
For every step that it climbs, an additional 3 mm is added to the mould cutter depth. For example,
when it is at position 3, the mould cutter depth is 9 mm.
•
Adjust the depth measuring stick with the metal point (b1) so that it is on the desired step, while you
tighten the set screw (8) of the depth measuring stick.
•
Loosen the height adjuster (12) to get the mould cutter ready for operation.
Adjustment by calculation
You do know the exact cutting depth in centimeters and would like to set it. For example, you would like
to drill a screw exactly 1,5 cm deep into a wooden board.
•
Insert the appropriate mould cutter.
