manual abstract
3. Slide router accessory mounting bracket (3) onto the bottom of motor housing (4) until the mounting hole (5) lines up with the hole in the mounting bracket. NOTES: The raised hole in the mounting bracket will slide over the motor shaft locking button only if the button is fully depressed and engaged in the motor shaft. The tab on the reverse side of the router base mounting band must be inserted into the matching slot in the motor housing. 4. Re-insert accessory locking knob into the motor housing and securely tighten. SETTING ROUTER DEPTH Depth of cutting is controlled by sliding the router base up and down in the adjusting sleeves. 1. Loosen both height adjusting knobs (1) by turning them counter clockwise (see Fig. 16). 2. Slide router base (2) up or down to obtain the desired depth of cut. 3. Re-tighten height adjusting knobs when the desired cut depth is reached. SETTING ROUTER BASE BEVEL Bevel cutting with the cutting bit can be done with the router base tilted to the desired angle. 1. Loosen both bevel adjusting knobs (3) by turning them counter clockwise at least 2 turns (see Fig. 17). 2. Tilt router base (2) to the desired angle. 3. Re-tighten both height adjusting knobs. 4. Check bevel angle between router base and spiral cutter to ensure they are at correct angle. 5. Check router depth of cut and re-set the depth if required. NOTE: Depth of cut will usually have to be increased after tilting the router base for bevel cutting. ASSEMBLY & OPERATION ! WARNING ROUTER BASE Fig. 16 Fig. 15 Fig. 17 15 Remove 1/8” collet and insert .” collet (see Page 10 Fig. 3). Install router bit and securely tighten. Adjust router base height to the correct routing depth. Turn the switch ON making sure the router bit is not touching anything. Holding the tool by the two height adjusting knobs, carefully lower the bit onto the workpiece and guide Fig. 19 ASSEMBLY & OPERATION ROUTER BASE Fig. 18 FREEHAND CUTTING AND ROUTING When the router base accessory is installed on the spin saw, it will function as a small router to be used for freehand cutting of irregular shaped patterns. You can cut patterns out of the workpiece with the cutting bit or route patterns into the workpiece with small router bits. FREEHAND CUTTING 1. Adjust the cutting bit depth to 1/8” longer than the thickness of the material being cut. 2. Turn the switch ON while firmly holding the tool. 3. When starting the cut inside the workpiece, place the bit at an angle to allow the bit to cut its way into the workpiece (see Page 11 Fig. 6). 4. Use the two height adjusting knobs to guide the bit through the workpiece. FREEHAND ROUTING Use the router base with small router bits to perform various freehand routing projects (see Fig. 18). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. the bit around the desired pattern. CUTTING STRAIGHT LINE WITH STRAIGHT EDGE To cut a straight line, you can use a straight edge template to guide the router base. 1. Draw a line on the workpiece where you wish to make the cut (see Fig. 19). 2. Draw a parallel second line approximately 2 1/8” back into the workpiece (away from the cutting line). 3. Clamp the straight edge onto the larger portion of the workpiece that is to be clamped while cutting. 4. Place the flat side of the router base against the straight edge with the bit near the start of the cutting line. NOTE: Check bit location to ensure cut will be made in the correct location. 5. Turn the switch ON while firmly holding the tool. 6. Slide the router plate against the straight edge while making the cut. 16 OPERATION & MAINTENANCE ROUTER BASE MAINTENANCE OPERATION & MAINTENANCE ROUTER BASE MAINTENANCE CUTTING CURVED LINE WITH A TEMPLATE To cut a curved line, you can use a curved template to guide the router base. 1. Make a template from hardboard or other similar material to the shape you require (see Fig. 20). NOTE: Radius of curve must be greater than 2 .” for router base to properly follow the curved template. 2. Mark the location of the cut to be made. 3. Mark the workpiece approximately 2 7/16” back into the workpiece (away from the cutting line). 4. Clamp the template onto the larger portion of the workpiece that is to be clamped while cutting. 5. Place the curved portion of the router base against the template with the bit near the start of the cutting line. NOTE: Check bit location to ensure cut will be made in the correct location. 6. Turn the switch ON while firmly holding the tool. 7. Slide the router plate against the template while making the cut. EXTERNAL CLEANING ! WARNING DO NOT use solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
