Frequently Asked Questions - AOF 1100 Alpha Tools

How to change the bit?

Unplug the machine. Press the spindle lock (12) to lock the shaft. Loosen the nut using the provided wrench, replace the bit, then tighten the nut. Ensure the bit is securely tightened before use.

How to set the cutting depth?

Place the machine on the workpiece. Loosen the thumb screw (a) and the clamping handle (15). Lower the machine until the bit touches the workpiece. Tighten the handle. Adjust the depth stop (3) using the scale to the desired depth, then secure it with the thumb screw.

Which direction should I route?

Routing should always be done in the opposite direction of the bit's rotation (counter-clockwise). This prevents kickbacks and injuries. Never route in the same direction!

What safety precautions are essential?

Read the entire manual. Wear hearing and eye protection. Always unplug the machine before adjusting or changing the bit. Hold the machine with both hands. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped. Use a vacuum for dust.

How to use the parallel guide?

Insert the guide rods of the parallel guide (13) into the holes of the router base (11). Adjust the desired distance and tighten the thumb screws (8). The guide allows straight cuts parallel to the edge of the workpiece.

Can I use a vacuum cleaner?

Yes, screw the dust extraction tube (16) onto the router base. Connect a vacuum cleaner with a 36 mm diameter hose. Dust extraction is important for health, especially for wood.

What materials can I router?

The router is designed for wood and plastics. Do not use on metal, stone, or other hard materials. Respect the speed appropriate for the material.

How to maintain the router?

After use, clean the motor ventilation slots with compressed air. Keep the machine clean and dry. Regularly check the tightness of bits and the condition of the cable. Have it serviced by a professional if necessary.

What is the speed regulator for?

The regulator (7) allows adjusting the bit's rotation speed from 11,000 to 31,000 rpm. Use high speed for small diameters and low speed for large diameters or hard materials.

How to use the guide bushing?

Attach the guide bushing (9) to the router base. Place a template on the workpiece; the bushing follows the template. The finished piece will be larger by the gap between the bushing edge and the bit edge. Ideal for copying shapes.

3. Intended use

The router is ideal for the processing of wood and plastic, for the removal of knots, for the cutting of grooves and recesses, and for the copying of curves and lettering etc.

It is prohibited to use the router to process metal, stone and similar materials.

The machine is to be used only for its intended purpose.

Any use beyond its intended purpose is a case of mis-use. Liability for damage or injury resulting from such a case of mis-use shall rest with the user or operator and not with the manufacturer.

4. Important information

Please read the operating instructions carefully and note their contents. Use these operating instructions to acquaint yourself with the machine, its proper use and essential safety precautions. Keep the operating instructions together with the router.

Safety information

● Make sure the machine is switched off before inserting the plug in the socket-outlet.
- Clamp the workpiece securely to prevent it from slipping.
● Always run the cable away from the back of the machine.
● Always remove the plug from the socket-outlet before doing any work on the machine
- Check that the cutter is fitted securely before starting up the machine.
● Always make sure of your footing while using the machine.
- The direction of routing must always be opposite to the cutter's direction of rotation.
- Do not feed the cutter into the workpiece until it is running.
● Always guide the router with both hands.
- Never exceed the maximum speed specified for the cutter.
- Make allowance for the machine's reaction torque, particularly if the cutter jams.
- When you are finished, allow the machine to glide back into starting position.
- Use only properly ground cutters.
● Mount the cutter with friction locking.
- Depending on the material, deeper cuts should be performed in several passes.
- The level of noise at the workplace may exceed 85 dB(A). In this case you will need to introduce noise protection measures for the user. The noise produced by this electric tool was measured in accordance with ISO 3744, NFS 31-031 (84/637/EEC).
● Vibration emission was measured in accordance with ISO 8662-8.

5. Prior to operation

● Before starting the router, make sure that all its guards and safety devices are properly fitted.
- Before connecting up the router, make sure that your power supply complies with the data on the machine's rating plate.

6. Assembly and operation Important!

Pull out the power plug before fitting any parts or making any adjustments.

A.) Fitting the extractor socket (Fig. 3)

Important!

For the sake of your health, always use a dust extractor.

Use the two countersunk head screws (a) to fasten the extractor socket (16) securely to the routing base (11).

The extractor socket is suitable for dust extractors with a suction hose diameter of 36 mm.

B.) Fitting the parallel stop (Fig. 4)

- Insert the guide shaft (a) of the parallel stop (13) in the holes (b) of the routing base (11).

- Adjust the parallel stop (13) to the required distance and clamp it in place with the thumb screws (8).

C.) Fitting the trammel point (Fig. 5)

• Push the trammel point (10) onto the guide shaft (a) of the parallel stop (13) and fasten it in place with the thumb screw (8).
• Place the trammel point against the material.
• Set the required radius by adjusting the parallel stop (13) and fixing it in place with the two thumb screws.
• Switch on the machine.
  ● After releasing the clamping handle (15), lower the machine slowly as far as the stop.
  ● Cut grooves, shoulders, etc. at a steady rate of feed, holding the machine with both hands.
• When finished, raise the machine again.
• Switch off the machine.

D.) Fitting the guide bush (Fig. 6/7/8)

• Use the two countersunk head screws (f) to fasten the guide bush (9) to the routing base (11).
  ● The template (c) is traced with the guide ring (b) of the guide bush (9).
• To obtain an exact copy, the workpiece (d) must be bigger by an amount equal to the difference between the 'outer edge of the guide ring' and the 'outer edge of the cutter' (e).

E.) Fitting the cutter (Fig. 9)

Important: Pull out the power plug!

● Changing the cutter is easy with the spindle catch.
- Press the spindle catch (12) and get the spindle to latch in place.
- Slacken the union nut with the open-ended span ner.
- Change the cutter and tighten the union nut with the open-ended spanner.

Important: Make sure that all adjustment and assembly tools are removed before starting the machine.

- Dismantle the cutter in reverse order.

F.) Adjusting the depth of cut (Fig. 10)

• Place the machine on the workpiece.
• Undo the thumb screw (a) and the clamping handle (15).
  ● Lower the machine slowly until the cutter touches the workpiece.
  ● Tighten the clamping handle (15).
• Set the depth stop (3) to the required routing depth as indicated by the scale (5) and fix in place with the thumb screw (a).
• Press the ON/OFF switch (6) to switch on the machine.
• Use the speed selector (7) to set the required cutter speed.
• Release the clamping handle (15) again and lower the cutter to perform the routing job.
• When you are finished with your work, return the machine to starting position.
  Routing speed depends on the material to be cut, the rate of feed, and the cutter being used.

G.) Routing direction (Fig. 11)

The direction of routing must always be opposite to the cutter's direction of rotation. Otherwise there is a risk of injury from back kick.

H.) Moulding and edge-cutting (Fig. 12)

• It is also possible to use special cutters with a guide ring for moulding (a) and edge-cutting (b) jobs.
  ● Fit the cutter.
  ● Feed the machine carefully up to the workpiece.
• Move the guide pin or ball race (c) along the work piece, applying light pressure.

Important:

● Depending on the material, deeper cuts should be performed in several passes.
● Hold the router with both hands on all cutting jobs.

7. Maintenance

- Keep the ventilation slits in the motor housing clean and clear at all times. Use compressed air to remove any deposits from the slits.
