Frequently Asked Questions - PRM1001 Ferm

How do I change the cutter on the Ferm PRM1001 router?

First unplug the tool. Place an open-ended spanner on the collet bracket and use a second spanner to loosen the collet nut. Insert the cutter shaft into the collet and tighten the nut securely. Always use cutters with a shaft diameter matching the collet size (6 mm or 8 mm).

What is the maximum cutter diameter I can use with this router?

The maximum cutter diameter is 30 mm. Do not exceed this to ensure safe operation.

How do I adjust the cutting depth on the Ferm PRM1001?

The cutting depth can be adjusted using the scale or the revolver-depth stop. For scale adjustment: loosen the locking bolt of the depth stop, release the clamping lever, press the machine down until the cutter touches the workpiece, tighten the lever, set the desired depth on the scale, and tighten the clamp screw. The revolver-depth stop allows quick selection among three preset depths.

Does the Ferm PRM1001 router come with a parallel guide?

Yes, the package includes a parallel guide. It mounts via two guide rods that slide into openings on the router base. Loosen the locking bolts, adjust the guide to the desired distance, and retighten.

How do I connect a vacuum cleaner for dust extraction?

The router includes a dust extraction adapter. Loosen the machine clamp screw and remove the machine from its base. Mount the adapter on the router base using the provided screws and nuts. Replace the machine and attach a vacuum cleaner nozzle to the adapter outlet.

What are the recommended maintenance steps for the Ferm PRM1001?

Regularly clean the housing with a soft cloth, keeping ventilation slots free of dust. Use a cloth moistened with soapy water if needed; avoid solvents like petrol or alcohol. The machine requires no additional lubrication. For faults, contact your local Ferm dealer.

Can I use this router on plastic materials?

Yes, the router is suitable for plastics. However, always select a low speed when cutting plastic workpieces to prevent melting or damage.

What safety precautions should I take before using the router?

Always read the manual and safety instructions. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Ensure the workpiece is clamped securely. Keep hands away from the cutting area. Check for nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. Disconnect the tool before changing accessories.

How do I switch on and lock the router?

Press the on/off switch to start the machine, then push it through the resistance to lock it in the on position. To switch off, either push the switch again when locked or release it. Adjust speed using the electronic adjusting wheel (13) on the machine.

What extension cable should I use?

Use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input (550 W). The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm². If using a cable reel, always unwind it completely to avoid overheating.

Fig. B.

Prior to mounting an accessory always unplug the tool.

Mounting and removing cutters.

Only use cutters with a shaft diameter which corresponds with the size of the collet. Only use cutters which are suited for the maximum speed of the machine. The cutter diameter should not exceed the maximum diameter (see 'Technical specifications').

• Place an open-ended spanner on the collet bracket and use the second spanner to loosen the collet nut.
• Place the cutter shaft in the collet
• Tighten the collet nut so that the cutter is locked properly.
• Open the collet nut when you want to replace a cutter.

Wait until the machine has come to a complete standstill and the cutter has cooled down before a cutter.

Mounting and adjusting the parallel guide

Fig. C

The parallel guide is a handy aid when working on narrow workpieces.

• Mount the parallel guide. Attach the guide rods (15) on the frame (14) using the bolts (16).
• Loosen the locking bolts (9) and slide the guide rods in the openings (8).
• Adjust the parallel guide to the desired guide distance.
• Tighten the locking bolts again.

Mounting the adapter for dust extraction.

Fig. D

Use the adapter for extracting dust.

• Loosen the machine clamp screw (2) and remove the machine from its base.
• Mount the adapter for dust extraction (18) on the router base (7) using the screws (17) and nuts (19).
• Replace the maschine into the base.
• Place a vacuum cleaner nozzle on the adapter outlet.

Keep the outlet of the machine behind the machine for a good view on the workpiece.

OPERATION

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

Hold the machine in rest position on the workpiece when switching the machine on or off. The cutter in the collet may damage the workpiece.

• Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the workpiece cannot slide from under the machine during the cutting activities.
• Hold the machine firmly and move it evenly over the workpiece. Do not force the machine.
• Only use cutters which do not show any signs of wear.
  Worn cutters have a negative effect on the efficiency of the machine.
  • Always switch off the machine first before removing the plug from the wall socket.

Adjusting the cutting depth

Fig. E

The cutting depth can be adjusted in two ways.

Adjustment using the scale

• Loosen the locking bolt of the depth stop (12).
- Release clamping lever (3) and press the machine so far down until the cutter touches the workpiece.
• Tighten the clamping lever again.
- Set the desired cutting depth using the graduated scales (11) and then tighten the clamp screw.

Adjustment using the revolver-depth stop

The revolver-depth stop enables you to quickly choose between three different cutting depths. These are also determined by the adjustment of the depth scale (11).

- Adjust the required cutting depth by the three screws on the revolver-depth stop (10).

Switching on and off (Fig. A).

- Depress the on/off switch (1) to switch the machine on. Then push the switch through its resistance to lock the switch in the on position. The cutter speed can be adjusted by means of the adjusting wheel (13).

- Release the on/off switch to switch the machine off or push the switch again when it is in locked position.

Always select a low speed for cutting plastic workpieces.

Do not put the machine down when the motor is still running. Do not place the machine on a dusty surface. Dust particles may enter the mechanism.
