Feed direction
Always work in the opposite direction. Always push
the machine forwards as shown. See fig. B.
The direction of rotation of the cutter is indicated by
an arrow (13) on the machine.
Guide the machine evenly at a speed suitable for
the material being processed.
7.3 Putting down after use
After ending the cutting process, switch off the
machine and only set it down when the motor has
come to a standstill.
7.4 Special working methods:
Cutting with parallel guide (fig. C)
1. Attach the parallel guide (14) with screws (11) on
the machine.
2. Undo the wing screw (a) and adjust the distance
to the cutter. Tighten the wing screw (a).
Stop with guide bearings (see fig. D)
The stop with guide bearings (15) is used for cutting
along a curved edge
1. Attach the stop (15) with the screw (11) to the
machine.
2. Undo the clamping screw (a).
3. Using the adjusting screw (b), set the desired
distance to the cutter.
4. Tighten the clamping screw (a).
Template follower (see fig. E)
For cutting according to a template fixed on the
workpiece.
1. Undo the screws (a) to remove the footplate (8).
Insert the template follower (16) and then screw
the footplate (8) back on.
2. Attach a template (b) on the workpiece (c). Place
the machine on the template and guide it so that
the template follower (16) glides along the edge
of the template (b).
Milling along a strip attached to the workpiece
/ milling along a straight marking
1. Attach a strip on the workpiece and guide the
machine with a straight edge of the foot plate
along the strip. (Always use the same edge.)
Profile milling
1. When working with profile cutters, first remove a
larger chip and then a smaller chip.
2. The feed rate must not be too low, otherwise the
wood will scorch and the cutter will become
prematurely blunt.
8. Cleaning, Maintenance
Unplug power cable.
Dust deposits must be regularly removed from the
machine. This includes vacuum cleaning the
ventilation louvres on the motor.
