the point at which the bit comes into contact with
the material. Hold the rod in place with knob N (Fig.
4), release the locking knob J (Fig. 3) and leave
the machine in the off position.
Loosen fastening knob N (Fig. 4), then press down
and turn adjustment knob L (Fig. 4), moving the
adjustment rod K (Fig. 4) upwards to the required
cut depth. Then use knob N once again to turn
turret Q (Fig. 4) until the highest step is below rod
K (Fig. 4). Make the fi rst cut on the material. Turn
the turret Q to the next step and then make another
cut, and so on until the required depth is obtained
when the bottom step is reached.
10. LOCKING THE ROUTING DEPTH
To carry out several repetitive jobs in which the
router depth is always the same, it may be useful
to prevent the head from being released by acci-
dentally moving the locking knob J (Fig. 3). This
may be done by inserting two M8 nuts R (Fig. 3)
in the threaded shaft, one above and one below
the head body. This locks the head at any point
along its depth setting.
WARNING! When working with the router depth
locked, the tool will be permanently outside the
base surface. Therefore the following actions
must be taken:
- Wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before setting it down on its base, on a fl at
surface, with the cutting tool free.
- Remove nuts R (Fig. 3) to return to the normal
lock conditions using lever J (Fig. 3), once the job
is complete.
11. USE OF PARALLEL GUIDE
The parallel guide is used for trimming edges and
cutting slots of different shapes, depending on the
profi le shape. Hard metal cutter bits are particularly
useful for smoothing edges and lengthening the
working life of the bits.
The parallel guide S (Fig. 6) is inserted in the ope-
nings on the base T (Fig. 6) and is held in place
using the two knobs U (Fig. 6).
NORMAL SQUARE ADJUSTMENT – Loosen the
base knobs U (Fig. 6), move the square to the
required position and then tighten the knobs in
this position.
PRECISION ADJUSTMENT – Once the square
has been approximately positioned and held in
place, a further fi ne adjustment may be made. To
do this, loosen square fastening knob V (Fig. 6),
turn the adjustment knob W (Fig. 6) to the required
measurement, then tighten the square fastening
knob V (Fig. 6) again in this position. A full turn of the
knob moves the square by 1 mm, with a maximum
distance of 10 mm. The gauged fi ne-adjustment
8
indicator X (Fig. 6) can be moved separately from
the knob, so that it may be set to zero from any
position using the reference mark. When turning the
knob W (Fig. 6) again after adjusting the indicator
X (Fig. 6), both elements will turn together, there
by indicating the degree to which the square has
been moved, with each division representing an
advance of 0.1 mm.
12. USE OF TEMPLATE GUIDES
The template guides are used for routing with a
wide variety of shapes. The chosen template guide
Y (Fig. 7) is held to the base T (Fig. 7) with the two
screws Z (Fig. 7). On making a copy, a difference
between the size of the template and the routed part
will appear. The difference between the radius of the
template guide and the cutting tool must always be
taken into account when making a template.
13. DUST COLLECTOR ATTACHMENT
To attach the dust collector connector A1 (Fig. 6),
place it in the central recess in base T (Fig. 6),
with the connection facing the back, and hold it in
place with screws B1 (Fig. 6). The dust collector
connector A1 may be attached either directly to
the suction tubes of AS182K and AS282K dust
collectors, or else by using the smaller-diameter
and lighter 6446073 standard dust collector atta-
chment, C1 (Fig. 6), which can then be attached to
AS182K and AS282K dust collectors or any other
industrial dust collector.

14. CHANGING THE BRUSHES

WARNING! Make sure the machine is disconnected
from the mains before performing any operation.
The brushes should be replaced when they have
a minimum length of 5 mm. To do this, remove
the covers D1 (Fig. 8) that hold the brushes E1
(Fig. 8) and replace them with original VIRUTEX
brushes, making sure that they slide smoothly
inside the guides.
It is advisable to allow the machine to run for 15
minutes unloaded after changing the brushes.
When changing the brushes, check the condition
of the collector. If it is burnt or juts out, it should be
serviced by a Virutex service technician.
15. LUBRITATION AND CLEANING
The machine is delivered fully lubricated from the
factory and does not require any special care during
its working life. It is important to clean the machine
carefully after use, using a dry air jet.
Maintain the supply cable in perfect operating
conditions.
