Dust Extraction - GMC MAG2050R Handbuch

2. Feed the bars on the parallel guide through the holes in
the router base plate (13) on the right hand side of the
router in the feed direction. This will assist in keeping the
guide flush with the side of the
work piece.
3. Adjust the distance between
the router bit and parallel guide
by moving the guide until it is at
the correct distance.

4. Tighten the parallel guide
locking knobs (15) to hold
the parallel guide in position.
5. It is possible to make fine
adjustments to the
distance between the parallel
guide and the router bit,
by loosening the centre lock on
the guide and turning
knob (23). One complete turn
of the knob is equivalent
to 1.5mm.
6. Tighten the centre lock on the
guide when you have made
your fine adjustment.
Note. If the distance between the
side of the work piece and the
cutting position is too wide,
or the side of the work piece
is not straight, firmly clamp a
straight board to the work piece
and use this as a guide against the router base.

Dust extraction

There are three different ways of connecting the router to a
dust extraction system or to a household vacuum cleaner
nozzle allowing the dust to be efficiently removed as the tool
is used.
• Method 1 (when using the
parallel guide and cutting
a shape on the edge of a
workpiece)
Connect the dust extraction
adaptor (25) to the parallel
guide. A vacuum system can
then be connected to adaptor.
• Method 2 (when connecting a
vacuum system to the top of
the router)
Insert the dust extraction
adaptor (14) in the hole in the
router housing above the dust
extraction tube (21).
Ensure that the dust extraction
tube is in its lowest position and
is locked into place with lock (24).
Connect a vacuum system to the adaptor.
• Method 3 (when connecting a
vacuum system to the base
plate of the router)
Unlock dust extraction tube,
raise the tube to its highest
position and lock it in place with
lock (24).
Insert the dust extraction
adaptor in the hole in the base
plate under the dust extraction tube.
Connect a vacuum system to the adaptor.
CAUTION. When working on metal surfaces, do not use
any dust extraction system such as a vacuum cleaner.
Sparks can ignite the dust.
In all three methods it is necessary to add the dust cover
(19) in the hole in the base plate under the spindle and to
lock it in place with the locking latch (22).
