3.4 Chips extraction

Chips and dust from routing can be removed by means of a

suction hood (2.1). See-through plastic material gives good

view of rotating tool.

- Fit hood into provided seat at platen and snap into fitting

groove (2.2).

This suction hood can be used only for cutters up

to 55 mm diameter.

c)

Increasing the milling depth

Open the clamping lever (5.4) and press the tool down until

the stop cylinder touches the sensing stops.

Milling cutter insertion

- Insert the milling cutter into the clamping collet.

- Turn the spindle until the spindle stop (3.1) catches when

pressed and the spindle is locked in place.

- Tighten the collet nut (3.2) with a 22 mm open-end spanner.
Milling cutter removel

- Turn the spindle until the spindle stop (3.1) catches when

pressed and the spindle is locked in place.

- Loosen the collet nut (3.2) using a 22 mm open-ended

spanner until a resistance is felt. Overcome this resistance

by turning the open-ended spanner even further.

- Remove the cutter.

Operation

4.1 Adjusting the milling depth

Before adjusting the milling depth always

disconnect the mains plug from the socket!

The milling depth is adjusted in three stages:

a)

Setting the zero point

- Open the clamping lever (5.8) so that the stop cylinder (5.3)

can be moved freely.

- Place the router with router table (5.5) onto a smooth surface.

Open the clamping lever (5.4) and press the machine down

until the milling cutter rests on the base. Clamp the machine

tight in this position with the clamping lever (5.4).

- Press the stop cylinder against one of the three sensing stops

of the pivoted turret stop (5.6). The individual height of each

sensing stop (see table beside) can be adjusted with a

screwdriver.

- Push the pointer (5.2) down so that it shows 0 mm on the

scale (5.1).

b)

Setting the milling depth

The desired milling depth can be set either with the quick

depth adjustment or with the fine depth adjustment.
Quick depth adjustment:

Pull the stop cylinder (5.3) up until the pointer shows the

desired milling depth. Clamp the stop cylinder in this position

with the clamping lever (5.8).
Fine depth adjustment:

Set the desired milling depth by turning the knurled nut (5.7).

Turn the knurlet nut to the next mark on the scale to adjust

the milling depth by 0.1 mm. One full turn adjusts the milling

depth by 1 mm. The maximum adjustment range with the

knurlet nut is 5 mm.
