USING THE MACHINE

1. Insert an appropriate cutting bit.
2. Adjust the speed, and adjust the fence in such a way that the material is supported along its entire length.
3. Switch the machine on by pressing the green ON (I) button.
4. Make sure the work piece is firmly pressed against the fence.
5. Push the work piece softly from right to left against the turning direction of the cutting bit.
• Keep your speed constant. Do not push too fast – it would slow down
the motor too much.
• Feeding the work piece too fast will result in poor cutting quality. There is
also the risk of damaging the cutting bit or the motor.
• Feeding the work piece too slow will result in burnt spots on the work
piece.
• 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 speed.
6. With very hard wood and important cuts it may be better to work progressively, taking several shallow cuts until the desired depth is achieved.
7. Switch the machine off by pressing the red OFF (O) button.

OVERLOAD SWITCH

The machine is fitted with an overload switch to protect the motor.
In the event of an overload situation, the machine will cut out automatically.
