cutter type and cutting types. The user can calculate
the approximate cutting speed based on the
follo ing formula:
Ca cu ating the Cutting Speed
：
The linear cutting speed should be selected from 40
m/s to 70 m/s to minimize the risk of kickback.
Cutting speed is related to the ood properties,
shapes and orker’s habits. The user can calculate
the approximate cutting speed based on the
follo ing formula:
V — Cutting speed (m/s)
b — Cutting height of ood (mm)
e1— Cutting thickness of ood (mm)
VH— Feeding speed (m/s)
P — Po er (k )
K — Unit cutting resistance (N/mm2)
Usually, the value K depends on the direction of the
ood fiber, the type of ood, the shape of the cutter
and so on. The K value can be ritten as the
follo ing formula:
Kc — The basic cutting coefficient re ated to the
cutting type:
Remark ： Rip cutting means the cutter is parallel to
the ood grain direction, crosscutting means the
cutting is vertical to the ood grain direction.

6.4 Cutter and Bit Insta ation
The cutter and bit can be installed on this machine,
please refer to the manual for detailed specification.
Allo ed Maximum Cutter or Bit Diameter: 140mm
(5-1/2”)
Allo ed Maximum Cutter or Bit Height: 140mm
(5-1/2”)
Insta ing the Cutter
：
Install the cutter in the spindle (A), as sho n in Fig.
23. The spindle is equipped ith the router collet (B)
of different thickness and the gland (C).
Use the 51mm Open End Wrench (E) to lock the
step underneath the spindle, then insert the hex
rench (F) and lock the spindle (D), as sho n in Fig.
24.
(In most cases, the Open End Wrench is used
belo the table, so you need to open the back cover
of machine before that.)
Fig. 23
Fig. 24
Note:
1. You must make sure that the g and is ocked
tight y and effective y, as shown in Fig.25..
Avoid insta ing the cutter as shown in Fig.
26. The tightening torque of the cap screw is
about 30 Nm.
2. For the maximum safety and best routing
performance, p ease insta the cutter
underneath the spind e as possib e as you
can (against the f ange face of the spind e
bottom).

Insta the Bit
：
The bit is the most commonly used and most
economical moulding cutter ith most types. The bit
is fixed by the router collet (F), and the router collet
(F) is fixed to the arbor by the dra bar (G), as
sho n in Fig. 27.
T o locking blocks (H1& H2) ith different
specifications are provided. Refer to the manual for
detailed specifications and choose as needed.

6.5 Adjusting and Using the Fence Assemb y
There are t o individual fences in the fence
assembly, each of them can be adjusted and used
individually. As sho n in Fig. 28, by releasing the
locking level (A), the fence can be adjusted to the
cutter closely or far a ay from the cutter. You can
adjust the fence for ard and back ard by rotating
the handles (B). Each fence is equipped ith
individual position to sho the scale.
Fig. 28
Adjusting the Fence:
The fence is mounted on the fence holder (C). By
adjusting the four adjusting bolts (D) placed on the
fence holder, you can adjust the perpendicularity
bet een the fence and table and the parallelism
bet een t o fences.
The perpendicularity bet een the fence and table:
≤0.1mm(0.004”).
The parallelism bet een t o fences:
≤0.1mm(0.004”).
Note:
1. Before using the fence assemb y, a ways
check the perpendicu arity between the fence
and tab e and the para e ism between two
fences.
2. Before using the fence assemb y, a ways
make sure that a the knobs are secured tight y.

6.6 Using the Starting Pin
By using the starting pin provided ith the machine,
you can do the Free-hand routing, as sho n in Fig.
29. Free-hand routing takes a high degree of skill
and dexterity and is done ithout the protection and
aid from the fence and guard. The most dangerous
part of free-hand routing is beginning the cut, hen
the cutter first contacts the orkpiece. Often the
orkpiece ill tend to jerk or kickback, presenting
an injury hazard to the operator. The starting pin ill
allo you to anchor and slo ly pivot the orkpiece
into the cutter as the cut is started, making the
operation more stable and safe.
Fig. 29
Warning:
1. Free-hand routing great y increase chance
that the operator may ose contro of the
workpiece, which cou d resu t in serious
persona injury. Therefore, a starting pin or
other simi ar devices must be used.
2. A guard as shown in Fig. 17 must be used in
free-hand routing to prevent the accident injury
happening.
7.Maintenance
This machine requires very little maintenance other
than minor lubrication and cleaning.
Lubrication
The machine has sealed lubricated bearings in the
motor and the arbor assembly and ill not require
any additional lubrication.
Use a ire brush to clean off the ood dust on the
sliding block and apply premium grease to keep it
lubricated.
Lubricate once a eek.
C eaning
Vacuum excess ood chips and sa dust in the
cabinet timely.
Clean once a day.
Changing the Be ts
1. Check the belts regularly (monthly) to avoid any
grease or oil on the belts.,
2. Check the belts regularly (monthly) to see if the
tension is adequate or the belts are cracked. If the
belts are cracked, change them timely.
3.Change the belts regularly (yearly).
Note:
Make sure the power cord is disconnected from
the power source before changing be ts!
Start the machine to have a check after
changing the be ts. If the vibration or noise is
too big, the possib e reasons may be the too
tight or oose be ts or skewed motor position,
p ease re-tension the be ts or re-position the
motor. And re-check the be t tension after using
the machine for hours.
