Working with the router

Removing the tool

-Turn the spindle until the spindle stop (6.1) catches when pressed and the spindle is locked in place.

-Loosen the collet nut (6.2) using a 19 mm open-ended spanner until a resistance is felt. Overcome this resistance by turning the open- ended spanner even further.

-Remove the cutter.

Clamping collet changing

-Fully unscrew the collet nut (6.2) and remove from spindle together with the clamping collet.

-Insert a new clamping collet with nut into the spindle and slightly tighten the collet nut. Do not tighten the collet nut until a milling cutter has been fitted!

-Push the pointer (7.1) down so that it shows 0 mm on the scale (7.3).

b) Setting the milling depth

The desired milling depth can be set either with the quick depth adjustment or with the fine depth adjustment.

-Quick depth adjustment: Pull the stop cylinder (7.5) up until the pointer shows the desired milling depth. Clamp the stop cylinder in this position with the clamping lever (7.4).

-Fine depth adjustment: Lock the stop cylinder with the clamping lever (7.4). Set the desired milling depth by turning the adjusting wheel (7.2) in. Turn the adjusting wheel to the next mark on the scale to adjust the milling depth by 0.1 mm. One full turn adjusts the milling depth by 1 mm. The maximum adjustment range with the adjusting wheel is 8 mm.
