  • Reconnect the machine to the power supply.

Setting the moulding fence

The use of the fence is a must. Every job must be looked at separately. At every new use you must make sure that the guards are correctly installed and adjusted. For every new use, each pressure piece on the fence must be newly set.
Make sure that all the bolts are firmly tightened before you start moulding.

Use of the table rings

The table rings must be used in order to reduce the spacing between table and spindle to a minimum. Before switching on the machine systematically check the table rings supplied for their correct seat.

Check whether you have chosen the correct ring for the corresponding cutting tool and its installation height, in order to reduce the risk of work piece tilting at passing the opening.
The reduction piece (table ring) must enclose the cutter head as far as possible.

Adjustments

Adjust the number of revolutions Fig. 18

Adjust the number of revolutions
The speed adjustment of the machine has 6 stages.

Determine the optimal number of revolutions by a sample cut in a piece of waste material.
Note: The use of the correct number of revolutions increases the life- span of the drill. It, also, affects the worked surface of the work piece.

Adjust the rabbet, Fig. 19, 20

Adjust the rabbet Adjust the rabbet

  • The rabbet is to be stopped to the size of the work piece and the milling tool.
  • Loosen the 2 plastic cap screws (b) on the back of the fence.

Set the stops and pressure devices such that they ensure the safe guidance of the workpiece at the input and output section of the machine.

Fig. 20

  • Push the rabbet to the rear or forward of the desired position. Use scale (c) on the table in order to determine the distance and take note of the drill centre.
  • Re-tighten the 2 plastic cap screws (Fig. 19, b) on the back to keep the fence in this position.

Adjust the rabbet for error, Fig. 19, 20

  • Error from wood is the material from wood left from the drill exiting, more thinly than the material, on the right side.
  • The left fence must be adjusted to the thinner material. It supports the material and ensures a more exact cut. To do this, loosen the plastic cap screws, push the fence to the front and tighten it.

Installing and adjusting the pressure limits, Fig. 21

Installing and adjusting the pressure limits

The pressure limits (5) are designed so that the work piece is held on the spot and setback is avoided.

  • Drive milling cutter to the lowest position
  • Insert the workpiece to be machined and press the pressure bar onto the workpiece with light pressure.
  • Remove workpiece.
  • Set the milling cutter to the desired height (see: Setting the working depth).

Adjust the Cross-cutting jig, Fig. 22

Adjust the Cross-cutting jig

  • Slide horizontal along the table the cross-cutting jig (8) in order to implement clean up error and mitre cuts.
  • In order to stop the jig at the desired angle, loosen the locking knob of the cross-cutting jig and turn this to the desired angle.
    Tighten the locking knob of the jig (8) again.

Fig. 21

Always make a sample cut in a piece of waste material in order to guarantee that the attitudes are correct.

Utilization of the machine

  • Insert an appropriate milling cutter in the tool holder and secure this by tightening the tool holder nut (Fig. 17, item 14).
  • Fit and secure the cutting knives.
  • Adjust the speed, and adjust the output fence in such a way that the material cut is supported and a compensation for the material removed is achieved.
  • Switch the machine on.
  • Make sure the work piece is firmly pressed against the fence.
  • Push the work piece softly from right to left against the turning direction of the tool.
  • Keep your forwarding speed constant. Do not push too fast – it would slow down the motor too much.
  • Feeding the work piece too fast will result in a poor cutting quality. There is also the risk of damaging the cutting knives or the motor.
  • Feeding the work piece too slow will result in burnt spots on the work piece.
  • With very hard wood and important cuts it can be necessary to work progressively in several cuts until the desired depth is achieved.
  • The correct intake speed depends on the cutter size, the material type of the work piece, and the cutting depth. It is recommended to practise first with a piece of scrap wood in order to determine the correct intake speed and the dimensions.
  • Switch the machine off by pressing the red cover.
  • The machine is fitted with an overload switch (13) to protect the motor. In the event of an overload, the machine will cut out automatically. After a short time, the overload switch (13) can be reset again.
