Working Advice
- When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
- Do not put your hands in the routing area or close to the side milling cutter.
When working, hold the handle (1) in one hand, and the auxiliary handle (15) in the other hand.
- Only bring the power tool into contact with the workpiece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Carry out the routing process with a uniform feed.
The vertical centre mark (11) on the angle guide and height guide indicates the centre of the slot (perpendicular to the side milling cutter). The maximum width of the slot is indicated by both marks (10) on the height-adjustable stop (9).
When positioning the height, the horizontal centre mark (6) on the base plate is useful, because it indicates the horizontal centre of the side milling cutter.
The arrow (13) on the power tool housing indicates the rotational direction of the side milling cutter.
Examples of the following types of joint can be found on the graphics pages:
- Corner joints: with angle guide see figure C, with height-adjustable stop see figure D
- Mitre/bevel joints: with angle guide see figure E, with height-adjustable stop see figure F
- Longitudinal and transverse joints: with angle guide see figure G, with height-adjustable stop see figure H
- Frame joints: see figure I
- Mid-wall joints: see figure J
To rout workpieces less than 16 mm in thickness, place the clip-on plate (17) on the angle guide (18). This ensures that the slot is not too close to the top of the workpiece. When calculating the horizontal routing position, take into account the thickness of the clip-on plate.
Use the clip-on plate (17) to ensure the slot is not too deep, including on mitre/bevel joints on thin workpieces.
