•
Test the equipment's settings on a scrap pie-
ce of material.
•
Let the equipment reach full speed. Only then
should you lower the cutter to its working
height and lock the equipment with the clamp
lever (19).
Cordless palm router
•
To avoid damage to the router, make sure
there are no foreign objects attached to the
workpiece.
•
Hold the router's handle.
•
Place the cordless palm router on the workpi-
ece.
•
Set the routing depth as explained in section
5.6.
•
Select the speed as explained in section 6.2
and switch on the equipment (see section
6.1)
•
Test the equipment's settings on a scrap pie-
ce of material.
•
Let the equipment reach full speed.
Cutting direction: The cutting tool turns clock-
wise. To avoid accidents you must always cut
against the direction in which the tool turns (Fig.
18).
Feed speed: It is very important to machine the
workpiece at the correct feed speed. We recom-
mend that before you machine the actual workpi-
ece, you carry out several trial cuts on a scrapped
piece of the same material. This is the easiest way
to fi nd the best working speed for the workpiece.
Feed speed too low:
The cutter might overheat. If you are cutting in-
fl ammable material such as wood, the workpiece
might ignite.
Feed speed too high:
The cutter might become damaged. Cutting quali-
ty: Rough and uneven.
Allow the cutter to come to a complete standstill
before removing the workpiece or putting down
the router.
6.5 Step-by-step routing
Step-by-step routing makes sense when proces-
sing hard material and performing deep cuts.
•
Adjust the end stops as explained in section
5.8.
•
To carry out a routing job in several steps you
must then set the routing depth as explained
in section 6.3 before turning the end stop

GB
(13) so that the depth stop (14) lies above the
highest end stop (13).
•
Now perform a cut in this setting. When the
first cut is completed, set the end stop (13) so
that the depth stop (14) lies above the middle
end stop. Now perform a cut in this setting as
well.
•
Finally, set the lowest end stop and complete
the cutting.
6.6 Cutting circles with the compass point
(33)
Proceed as follows to cut circles around a center-
point:
•
Fit and adjust the compass point (33) as exp-
lained in section 5.4.
•
Place the compass point (33) on the center-
point of the circle you want to cut and press it
in place.
•
Perform the cut as described in section 6.4.
6.7 Making cuts with the parallel stop (34)
Proceed as follows to cut along a straight outer
edge of a workpiece:
•
Fit the parallel stop (34) as explained in sec-
tion 5.3.
•
Move the parallel stop (34) along the outer
edge of the workpiece.
•
Perform the cut as explained in section 6.4.
6.8 Making cuts freehand
The cordless router/palm router can also be used
without any guides. You can use it freehand on
creative jobs such as the production of lettering.
•
Use a very flat cutter setting for this purpose!
•
Check the direction in which the cutter is tur-
ning while you machine the workpiece (Fig.
18).
6.9 Cutting shapes and edges (Fig. 19)
•
Special cutters with a guide ring can be used
for cutting shapes (a) and edges (b).
•
Fit the cutter.
•
Carefully move the machine against the work-
piece.
•
Using gentle pressure, move the guide jour-
nal or ball bearing (c) along the workpiece.
Cordless palm router
With the help of the routing guide (32) you
can also perform edge cuts.
•
Fit the routing guide (32) as explained in Fig.
5.9.
•
Place the cordless palm router on the workpi-
ece and adjust the height of the routing guide
