case it needs any readjustment.
12. MORTISING EDGE
TRIMMING ON A DOOR
Once the test trimming has been done and the re-
sulting box checked to see that it correctly fits the
lock, the door may be trimmed as follows:
- Place the door vertically and fasten well so that
it does not move. If the door is already mounted
on the frame, place wedges under it to prevent it
from moving.
- Place the lock against the door so that the path
to the knob or handle is at the required height from
the floor. On the front edge of the door, mark the
centre of the Lock box (Fig. 8).
Check that the trimmer is disconnected
from the mains.
- Follow the instructions in section 12 above for the
placing of the mortising trimmer on the door and
the trimming of the box for the lock.
13. PRODUCTION TRIMMING
ON SEVERAL DOORS
- Should you wish to trim several doors and posi-
tion the locks at the same height, we recommend
you use the height bar "A1" (Fig. 9) to simplify this
operation.
To do this, having determined the height of the lock
on the first door, and placed the machine in the
trimming position, mount the four height bars "A1"
(Fig. 9) and insert them in the clamp vise apertures
"X" (Figs. 7 and 9), so that the end limiter disc "A2"
(Fig. 9) has its limit at the upper edge of the door,
and then fix the height bar "A1" in this position with
the knobs "B1" (Fig. 7). For the following door, you
will only need to place the machine, with the limiter
disc "A2" (Fig. 9) of the height bar "A1" resting on
the upper edge of the door, and fix the clamp vises
in this position, so making all the locks remain at
the same height.
The height bar "A1" (Fig. 9) without the limiter disc
"A2" (Fig. 9) may also be used, if desired, as a height
reference relative to the floor.
14. HORIZONTAL MORTISING
To work with the FC16S horizontally, for example to
mortise doors before hanging them, it is advisable
to disconnect the damper "T1" (Fig. 9) to leave the
movement of carriage "U1" free of its pressure.
To do this, loosen nut "P" (Fig. 5) with key "F" and by
moving the screw knob "R", advance the length indica-
tor "S" towards the end of stroke limiter "A1".
Remove knob "S1" (Fig. 9) that fastens silencer "T1"
so that this is disconnected. Keep knob "S1" in a
safe place for later use. Finally, adjust the length
of the mortising required, as described in section
9, before starting work with the machine, as it
must never operate at the end of stroke, over the
maximum length.
15. CORRECTIONS FOR
OVERLAPPING DOORS
For mortise trimming of doors with overlap, the
centring of the machine and the depth of the edge
trimming should be changed, as follows:
Check that the trimmer is disconnected
from the mains.
- To centre the machine over the section of the
door without overlap, loosen the screws "Q", which
lock the clamp vises "X", with key "F" (Fig. 10), and
move the plates "J1" to the overlap side, half the
width of this in mm, and fix the screws "Q" again
in this position.
- When the trimming depth is adjusted, as explained
in section 10, the limiter ring "V" (Fig. 6) must be
positioned at a height on the scale "U2" (Fig. 6) which
is the sum of the depth necessary for the lock "T",
(Fig. 4), plus the height of the door overlap, since the
machine will be supported on this overlap.
16. DUST COLLECTOR ATTATCHMENT
- The FC16S mortising trimmer is equipped with a
nozzle, "D2" (Figs. 8 and 9) which, when mounted on
the position bar "D1" (Fig. 8) over the opening of the
box to be made, allows the connection of the Virutex
AS182K, AS282K dust collector or another Industrial
Dust Collector for the collection of trimming chips.
17. REMOVING THE SPLINE SHAFT
In order to change the spline shaft "M" (Fig. 3),
first dismount the bit "G" (Fig. 2) as explained in
section 6.
Place the lock pin "L" (Fig. 3) in the central aperture of
the chassis until the motor axis is locked and remove
the spline shaft "M" with the key "E".
