compasses and profile cutters, it is an exceedingly
useful appliance.
3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
MACHINE OPERATION
WARNING! Before using the machine carefully
read the GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
LEAFLET, which is included in the machine
documentation.
- When changing the fittings or performing any
other operation close to the cutting head, remove
hand from the switch lever and disconnect from the
mains.
- Use safety goggles when working with the router.
- Guide the router always with both hands.
- Following completion of a job, disconnect the
engine and release the base before leaving the
router.
- Always place the router on the base, on a flat,
clean surface.
- Always use the lever of the main switch to turn the
router on.
- Ensure that the router cannot accidentally fall
over.
- Use only bits of diameter suitable for the chuck to
be used, and adapted to the router speed.
- The specifications of the bits of the VIRUTEX
range are especially adapted to the performance
of this router. Use preferably bits from the extensive
VIRUTEX range, or elese only bits whose
characteristics conform to the said specifications.
4. STANDARD EQUIPMENT
You will find the following items inside the box:
- Surface router FR66F
- Size 26 service key
- Template guide diameter 19 for 26 mm dovetailing
- Lateral fence unit
- Aspiration connector
- Instruction manual and other documentation
5. SWITCH
Cut-out box A (Fig. 1, 2) is equipped with lever B
(Fig. 1, 2), which can be pressed with a finger. This
enables the user to start it up or stop it with no need
to move his hand from knob C (Fig. 1, 2). To do this,
activate the switch's lateral stop B1 (Fig. 2, 6) and,
without releasing it, push forward lever B. Stop B1
prevents the machine from starting up accidentally.
6. ASSEMBLY OF THE CUTTING TOOLS
Assemble cutting tool E (Fig. 2) in chuck F (Fig. 2),
block the axis by pressing brace G (Fig. 3) and
insert wedge G1 (Fig 7) to lock the fastening in
place. Tighten nut H (Fig. 2) with the service key
G2 (Fig.7).
WARNING!
Avoid leaving the machine with no tools installed,
since the chuck could be overtightened and damage
the shaft.
7. ADJUSTMENT OF HEIGHT
The height is adjusted via screws I (Fig. 3) of the
rotary gauge and stop rod J (Fig. 3).
Following flushing of the cutting face of the router
with the surface of the headpiece or wood, the
cutting depth may be adjusted to up to 60 mm.
The three screws in the rotary depth gauge enable
the user to preset three different depths. After
regulating the depth of penetration of the adjustment
tube J (Fig.3), tighten the wing nut K (Fig. 3).
To adjust or correct with precision the previously
set depth, turn the nut J1 (Fig. 3), which will cause
the length limiter of the adjustment tube J (Fig. 3)
to shift, to a maximum of 2 mm. The nut has a strip
which is divided into graduations of 0.1 mm each.
8. BLOCKING OF THE BASE
The base can be locked in any position using knob
D (Fig. 1). When knob D (Fig. 1) is loosened, the
base will automatically return to its highest position
due to the action of the springs incorporated in the
columns.
WARNING!
Following completion of any job, flick the switch to
OFF and release the base using knob D (Fig. 1)
before leaving the router, which must be on a flat
surface.
9. LOCKING THE ROUTING DEPTH
For the performance of repetitive tasks in which
the routing depth is very important and release of
the headpiece by accidental use of knob D (Fig. 3)
is to be avoided, the headpiece may be set to the
desired depth using the two nuts L (Fig. 3) which
move along threaded axis M (Fig. 3).
Warning! When working with the depth locked, the
tool is permanently held outside the surface of the
base, so it is important to:
- Wait for the machine to stop completely before
leaving it.
- Leave it on the base, on a flat surface which
leaves the tool free.
- Cancel the locked depth and return to the normal
conditions of knob locking as soon as the task has
been completed.
10. USE OF PARALLEL GUIDE
Parallel guide N (Fig. 4) is used for edge trimming
and cutting differently shaped grooves in
accordance with various profile shapes.
For edge trimming and long life of cutters, carbide
