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).

a) Copying ring 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)

b) Copying device 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

Metalworking (Aluminium) 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

Support of the workpieces 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.

Servicing and maintenance 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.

Manual background 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
