One graduation corresponds to a depth of cut of
0.1 mm.
Attaching, removing and adjusting the parallel
fence (fig. D)
The parallel fence (12) is used for optimum tool
control on narrow workpieces. The parallel fence
can be fitted to either side of the tool.
• Assemble the parallel fence (12) in such way that
the fence profile will provide guidance from the
front of the tool until behind the cutterhead.
• Fit the parallel fence to the threaded hole (13)
from either side.
• Tighten the wing bolt (14).
• To remove the parallel fence, remove the wing bolt.
To adjust the parallel fence:
• Loosen the wing nut (15).
• Adjust the fence so that there will be just enough
area of the cutterhead left to cut the workpiece
surface.
• Tighten the wing nut.
Attaching, removing and adjusting the rebating
depth stop (fig. E)
• Install the depth stop (16).
• Tighten the wing bolt (17) at the desired height in
the threaded hole (13) using the scale.
• To remove the depth stop, remove the wing bolt.
Fitting and removing the shavings ejector
(fig. F1 & F2)
The tool can be used for both left-hand and right-
hand side shavings discharge.
For right-hand side shavings discharge (fig. F1),
the tool can be used with or without the ejector.
The ejector must be used in combination with the
dust extraction adaptor when connecting a vacuum
extractor.
• Push the ejector (18) into the right-hand side
shavings discharge outlet (3) until it clicks in place.
• To remove the ejector, raise the lever (19) and
pull out the ejector.
For left-hand side shavings discharge (fig. F2),
the ejector must always be used.
• Raise the lever (19) to open the spring-loaded
closure (20).
• Push the ejector (18) into the left-hand side
shavings discharge outlet (3) until it clicks in place.
• Release the lever.
• To remove the ejector, raise the lever and pull out
the ejector.
Dust extraction (fig. G - I)
When appropriate, connect a dust
extraction system designed in compliance
with the applicable directives regarding
dust emission.
The tool is supplied with an adapter for connecting a
dustbag or a vacuum extractor. The dustbag is
standard for K-models and available as an option for
all other models.
• Fit the shavings ejector (18) into the outlet (3) as
shown.
• Attach the dustbag (21) to the shavings ejector.
• Alternatively, connect the tool to a vacuum
extractor using the adaptor (22).
Assembling the dustbag (fig. I)
• Assemble the dustbag by aligning the open-
ended slots (26) with the notches (25) and fitting
the (23) deflector onto the bag (24).
• Turn the assembly clockwise to lock it in position.
• Release the loops (27) to unfold the bag.
• Fit the dustbag as described above.
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
Prior to operation:
• Adjust the depth of cut.
• If necessary, fit and adjust the parallel fence.
• Attach the shavings ejector.
• Use sharp cutting blades only.
Switching on and off (fig. A)
For safety reasons the on/off switch (1) of your tool
is equipped with a lock-off button (2).
• Press the lock-off button to unlock the tool.
