Tighten the clamp nut (10) using the open- ended spanner (22).

The cutter must be inserted at least 20 mm into the clamp (23).

Before you start the electric router, check to ensure that the cutting tool is secure and runs smoothly. Important. Remove the setting and assem- bly tools before starting the machine Anl_TH_RO_1100_E_SPK1.indb 22Anl_TH_RO_1100_E_SPK1.indb 22 29.06.12 10:4629.06.12 10:46GB

Never use a low quality or damaged cutter. Use only cutting tools with a shaft diameter of 6 mm or 8 mm. The cutters must also be desi- gned for the appropriate idling speed.

Secure the workpiece so that it cannot be thrown through the air as you work on it. Use clamps or a vise.

Always guide the power cable away from the back of the tool.

Never cut over metal parts, screws, nails etc.

6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 12/Item 4)

Press the safety lock-off (5) and then press the ON/OFF switch (4) to switch on the machine. Release the ON/OFF switch (4) to switch off the machine.

6.2 Speed control (Fig. 13 – Item 11)

The best speed depends on the material and the diameter of the cutter. Select a speed between 11,000 and 30,000 rpm using the speed control switch (11). You can choose from 7 diff erent switch positions. The speeds in the various switch positions are as follows: Switch position 1: approx. 11,000 rpm (minimum speed) Switch position 2: approx. 12,000 rpm Switch position 3: approx. 15,000 rpm Switch position 4: approx. 18,000 rpm Switch position 5: approx. 22,000 rpm Switch position 6: approx. 26,000 rpm Switch position 7: approx. 30,000 rpm (maximum speed) To increase the speed: Move the speed control switch (11) in the plus direction. To reduce the speed: Move the speed control switch (11) in the minus direction.

Place the machine on the workpiece.

Undo the wing screw (16) and fixing handle (9).

Slowly move the machine downwards until the cutter makes contact with the workpiece.

Set the fine adjuster (15) to 0 as shown in Fig.

Adjust the revolver end stop (14) so that the depth stop (19) is above the end stop (a) set to the lowest height.

Lower the depth stop (19) until it touches the end stop (a). Then tighten the wing screw (16).

Set the pointer (17) to the zero point on the scale (18).

Undo the wing screw (16). Push the depth stop (19) upwards until the pointer (17) points at the required cutting depth on the scale (18). Tighten the wing screw again.

Test the setting by completing a test cut on a waste piece.

Now you can carry out the final adjustment of the cutting depth. To do this turn the fine adjuster (15) to the required dimension. Turn the fi ne adjuster (15) counter-clockwise: gre- ater cutting depth Turn the fi ne adjuster (15) clockwise: lower cutting depth Turning the fi ne adjuster (15) through one division corresponds to a change of cutting depth of 0.04 mm, one whole turn corresponds to 1 mm. On the precision adjustment device (15) you can also turn the lower ring (b) separately. This lets you reach the zero point without altering the precision adjustment device (15). See Fig. 17 and proceed as follows:

Hold and turn it until you have reached the desired position.

To avoid damage to the router, make sure there are no foreign objects attached to the workpiece.

Connect the mains plug to a suitable socket.

Hold the tool using both of its handles (7).

Place the router on the workpiece.

Set the cutting depth as described in point

Select the speed as described in point 6.2 and switch the machine on (see point 6.1).

Operate the tool at full speed. Only then should you lower the router to its working height and lock the machine with the locking grip (9). Cutting direction: The cutting tool turns clock- wise. To avoid accidents you must always cut against the direction in which the tool turns (Fig. 18). Feed speed: It is very important to machine the workpiece at the correct feed speed. We recommend that before you machine the actual workpiece, you carry out several trial cuts on a waste piece of the same type. This will enable you to fi nd the best working speed for the workpiece very easily. Feed speed too low: The cutter could heat up excessively. If you are cutting infl ammable material such as wood, the workpiece could ignite. Feed speed too high: The cutter could be damaged. Cutting quality: Rough and uneven. Allow the cutter to come to a complete standstill before removing the workpiece or putting down the router.

6.5 Routing in stages

Depending on the hardness of the material you wish to cut and the cutting depth, it may be a good idea to proceed in stages.

If you wish to route in several stages, turn the end stop revolver (14) after you have set the cutting depth as described in point 6.3 so that the depth stop (19) is over the highest end stop (a).

Now route in this setting. After completing the first routing operation, adjust the end stop revolver (14) so that the depth stop (19) is above middle end stop (a). Now complete a routing operation in this setting as well.

Now set the lowest end stop (a) and finish the routing.

6.6 Routing circles with the compass point

(13) Proceed as follows to route circles around a cen- tre point:

Fit and adjust the compass point (13) as de- scribed in point 5.4.

Place the compass point (13) on the centre point of the circle you wish to route and apply pressure to it.

Complete the routing operation as described in point 6.4.

6.7 Routing with the parallel stop (21)

Proceed as follows to route along a straight outer edge of a workpiece:

Fit the parallel stop (21) as described in point

Guide the parallel stop (21) along the outer edge of the workpiece.

Complete the routing operation as described in point 6.4.

6.8 Free-hand routing

The router can also be operated without any guide rods. You can use it for freehand routing for creative work such as the production of logos.

Use a very flat cutter setting for this purpose.

Check the direction in which the cutter is tur- ning as you machine the workpiece (Fig. 18).

Special cutters with a guide ring may be used for cutting shapes (a) and edges (b).

Carefully guide the machine on to the workpi- ece.

Guide the guide journal or ball bearing (c) along the workpiece with gentle pressure. Important: For deep cuts, carry out the work in several steps according to the material in question. Hold the router in two hands when carrying out all cutting work. Anl_TH_RO_1100_E_SPK1.indb 24Anl_TH_RO_1100_E_SPK1.indb 24 29.06.12 10:4629.06.12 10:46GB
