 Ensure that milling cutter is firmly clamped.
 Use only milling cutters for routers; never use e.g. milling cutters for drilling machines or
stationary machines.
 Use only commercially available milling cutters for routers with a shank diameter 6 mm or
8 mm.
 Always use both hands to guide the tool.
 Never wedge the ON switch fast.
 Never reach into the milling zone while the tool is running.
 Feed only running milling cutters to the material.
 Note direction of cut - always move the cutter against the material.
 When work is finished, remove the milling cutter from the tool.
 Wood dust set up during work is harmful to health. Always work with dust collector
operating.
 Wear protective goggles, ear protectors and, if necessary, breathing mask.
 Observe general safety regulations for handling and using electric tools..
7 OPERATION
7.1 Depth Stop (Fig. 1 & 2)
Locate the depth stop on the left-hand side of the cutting machine. This continuously
adjustable stop is intended to limit the depth of the cut. Locate the fixing screw for the depth
stop (1). Loosen it by turning it in anticlockwise direction. To move the depth stop up or down,
turn the stop adjuster in clockwise or anticlockwise direction (2).
7.2 Locking lever for cutting machine body (Fig. 3 & 4)
When viewed from the front, the locking lever (3) is located at the rear on the left-hand side.
The cutting machine body is spring-tensioned. Take care when releasing the locking lever.
Grasp both handles and brace yourself before releasing the lever (4). Press downwards to
allow the cutting machine body to move down. When you reduce the downward pressure, the
springs force the cutting machine body back up into its highest position.
CAUTION: The housing of the machine is under spring tension. When you release the locking
lever, it returns to its highest position..
7.3 Dust extraction outlet (Fig. 5, 6 & 7)
You are advised to use the dust extraction outlet. You can purchase
a suitable commercial vacuum cleaner or extract the dust via an
extractor tube while the cutting machine is in operation. The outlet
must project out of the rear of the machine (5). Two bolts and nuts
are supplied to attach it.
Hold the extractor outlet in position and lay the cutting machine on its side. Push the long bolt
through the machine base until it projects at the fastening point for the extractor outlet (6).
Place the nut in the hexagon-shaped recess (7). Tighten the bolt with a suitable wrench and
moderate force until the outlet is securely attached. Repeat the procedure at the other side
CAUTION: Dust may cause respiratory problems. Certain laminated board
materials are carcinogenic. After work, always remove all dust from the
machine.
7.4 Assembly of parallel stop Fig. 8 & 9)
Locate the parallel stop and the guide rods. Push the guide rods into the casting and secure
them with the adjusting screws (8). Inspect the machine base and the four securing points.
Loosen the locking screws and push the guide rods into the machine base (9). The parallel
stop is continuously adjustable and permits various parallel cuts.
