Copy cutting
A copying ring or the copying device is used to exactly
reproduce existing workpieces (both available as accessories).
a) Copying ring
- Secure the copying ring (11.1) to the router base by inserting
both tenons (11.2) into the recesses (11.3).
When choosing the size of the copying ring make
sure that the cutter used fits through the ring’s opening.
The distance Y (Fig. 11) between the workpiece and template
is calculated by
Y = (Ø copying ring - Ø cutter) / 2
To loosen the copying ring, press both buttons (11.4) inwards
simultaneously.
b) Copying device
The angle arm WA-OF (12.2) and copier scanning set KT-OF,
consisting of roller holder (12.6) and three copying rollers
(12.7), are required for the copying device.
- Screw the angle arm at the desired height in the platen’s
threaded bore (12.1) with the rotating knob (12.3).
- Fit a copying roller in the roller holder and bolt this to the
angle arm with the rotating knob (12.5). Make sure that the
copying roller and cutter have the same diameter!
- Turn the adjusting wheel (12.4) to adjust the distance
between the copying roller and cutter axis.
Metalworking (Aluminium)
The following precautions are to be taken when
processing aluminium for safety reasons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker.
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in the motor
housing.
- Wear protective goggles.
Support of the workpieces
Ensure that your workpieces are securely fixed
and cannot move during routing. Otherwise, there is an
increased risk of accident. Use screw clamps or some other
suitable devices to fix your workpiece.
Servicing and maintenance
Any maintenance or repair work that requires
opening of the motor or gear housing should only be carried
out by an authorised Customer Service Centre (name supplied
by your dealer)! Maintenance or repair work carried out by
an unauthorised person can lead to the wrong connection of
the power leads or other components, which in turn can lead
to accidents with serious consequences.
To prevent accidents, always remove the plug
from the power supply socket before carrying out any
maintenance or repair work on the machine! Do not use
compressed air to clean the electrical tool! Do not try to clean
parts inside the machine in this way, as you could let foreign
objects in through the openings of the machine housing.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful
to plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbonyl chloride,
cleaning solutions containing chlorine, ammonia and
household cleaners containing ammonia. To assure the
