Installation is similar to that of the copying

ring (see fi g. 12).
The hood can be cut off along the grooves

(5.2) using a hacksaw and can thus be re-

duced in size. The chip catcher can then be

used for interior radiuses up to a minimum

radius of 40 mm.

Milling cutters

Do not exceed the maximum

speed specifi ed on the tool and/or keep to

the speed range. Cracked or distorted cutters

must not be used.

You can turn the machine upside down when

changing the tool.
Inserting the tool

Insert the router (6.3) into the open clamp-

ing collet as far as possible, but at least up

to the mark on the router shank.
Press the switch (6.1) for locking the spin-

dle on the right-hand side (A).
Tighten the locking nut (6.2) with a 19 mm

open-end spanner.

Removing the tool

Press the switch (6.1) for locking the spin-

dle on the left-hand side (B).
Undo the nut (6.2) using an open-end

wrench (SW 19) until you are able to re-

move the tool.

Note: the spindle lock only blocks the mo-

tor spindle in one direction of rotation at any

one time. Therefore when the nut is undone

or tightened, the wrench does not need to be

offset but can be moved back and forth like

a ratchet.

Clamping collet changing

Press the switch (6.1) for locking the spin-

dle on the left-hand side. Fully unscrew the

nut (6.2) and remove from spindle together

with the clamping collet.
Press the switch (6.1) for locking the spin-

dle on the right-hand side. Insert a new

clamping collet with nut into the spindle and

slightly tighten the nut. Do not tighten the

nut until a milling cutter has been fi tted.

Adjusting the milling depth

The milling depth is adjusted in three stag-

es:

a) Setting the zero point

Open the clamping lever (7.7) so that the

stop cylinder (7.5) can move freely.
Place the router with router table onto

a smooth surface. Open the rotary knob

(7.4) and press the machine down until

the milling cutter rests on the base. Clamp

the machine tight in this position with the

rotary knob (7.4).
Press the stop cylinder against one of the

three sensing stops of the pivoted turret

stop (7.6).
