5.4 Mains connection
For safety reasons the router must
be connected to the magnetic switch
(E, Fig 14).
This assueres a safe On/Off-
operation and avoids auto-restarting
after power failures.
Make sure the router switch is in the
OFF-position before you plug in.
Fig 14
The maximum motor power (input
power) of the router may be 1600W.
Make sure that the power cord does
not impede work and cause people to
trip.
Mains connection and any extension
cords used must comply with
applicable regulations.
The mains voltage must comply with
the information on the machine
licence plate.
Only use connection cables marked
H07RN-F
The mains connection must have a
16A surge-proof fuse.
Connections and repairs to the
electrical equipment may only be
carried out by qualified electricians.
5.5 Starting operation
Turn the router switch to the ON-
position.
You can now start the machine with
the green On-button on the magnetic
switch (E, Fig 14).
The red Off-button on the magnetic
switch stops the machine.
6. Machine operation
Workpiece handling:
Feed the workpiece straight across
the machine table, holding your
fingers close together, guiding the
workpiece with the palm of your
hands.
Never put your hands under or
behind the shaper guard.
Always keep your hands well clear of
the rotating cutter.
Always feed the workpiece against
the cutter rotation (Fig 14).
Fig 15
Use a push block when working the
ends of narrow stock.
Workpieces shorter than 200mm
require special feeding aids (e.g.
feeding template).
Always machine the workpiece over
its entire length.
Recess machining may only be
carried out with the aid of suitable
longitudinal workpiece stops (Fig 16)
….high danger of kickback!!!
Fig 16
When working complex shapes,
make jigs and guides to guide the
workpiece properly and safely.
Tenoning and sloting work is not
allowed – serious risk of injury!
Make trial cuts on a piece of scrap
before working the actual workpiece.
Support long and wide work pieces
with helping roller stands.
Always work one workpiece at a
time.
Always hold and guide the work
pieces safely during machining.
Do not perform any operation
freehand.
When machining small work pieces
(width less than 150mm) use the
lateral workpiece clamp (F, Fig 17).
Fig 17
Use the mitre gauge (C) to guide the
workpiece for crosscut operations.
Attention:
Install the router bit according to the
instructions in the router manual.
Make sure the bit is securely seated
in the collet chuck before making any
cuts.
Always use sharp cutting tools.
Always use the protective covers
supplied.
Ensure that the protective cover is in
the correct position before you start
machining.
The router must first reach the
maximum rpm before cutting may
begin.
Remove cut and jammed work
pieces only when motor is turned off
and the machine is at a complete
standstill.
Pay particular attention on reducing
the risk of kickback.
Ensure that the cutting fence and the
lateral workpiece clamp are in the
correct position before you start
machining.
Always use the smallest table insert
possible.
Replace worn table insert.
7. Environmental protection
Protect the environment.
Your appliance contains valuable
materials which can be recovered or
recycled. Please leave it at a
specialized institution.
