7.12 Switching on and off

Grasp the machine securely at the handles. When it is pointing

in your direction, the start-stop button is located on the right

handle (24}. Keeping the safety lock pressed, press the start-

stop button. You do not have to keep the safety lock pressed as

it remains in position automatically until you release the start-

stop button again. To stop the machine, simply release the start-

stop button and the motor stops..

7.13 Adjustable speed

The speed setting is located at the front of th e h o usi ng (25).

Turn the knob to increase or decrease the speed. The smaller

the cutter head, the higher the speed.The larger the cutter

head, the lower the speed. A cutter head which runs too fast

causes scorching of the workpiece and leaves burnt marks.

CAUTION: Do not change the speed when the machine is

working under load.

7.14 Using the parallel guide

he parallel guide can be used for cutting parallel to the edge

of the workpiece. Release the four screws securing the

parallel guide and push them in so that the guide is at the

desired distance from the cutter head. Tighten the four

securing screws. Press the guide securely against the edge of

the workpiece and execute the cut.

CAUTION: Abnormal vibrations may be due to a blunt cutter

head.

7.15 Cutting direction

To prevent the cutter head from jumping and to obtain a good

result, carry out exterior cuts in anticlockwise and interior cuts

in clockwise direction (27).

7.16 Replacing the carbon brushes

If the performance of the machine is poor or excessive sparking is observed through the

ventilation slots, the carbon brushes must be replaced. Remove the two covers of the brush

housing (23) with a screwdriver. Remove the two worn brushes. Insert the new brushes (29),

replace the covers and screw them into position. The new brushes may cause sparging until

they have taken on the shape of the motor. Repeat the procedure at the other side.

CAUTION: The brushes must always be replaced in pairs.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before removing any

electrical covers.
