Starting And Stopping The Machine - Virutex FRE317VD Mode D'emploi

- Operating instructions and other documentation
4. APPLICATIONS OF THE MACHINE
The high power 2,100 W angle trimmer is ideal for
working with mineral materials like Corian, Rausolid,
etc., with good results being guaranteed.
Its special design allows for two different uses of the
machine:
With its motor in an upright position, it is a standard
router, with a long working run, ideal for making and
repairing elements made of mineral materials. Placing
the motor at 45º allows it to work as a single trimmer
for angle trimming the rims of worktop joints or even
vertical corners and joints between two rims.
The machine is equipped with a dust collector connec-
tion, and the dust collector attachment allows it to be
connected to our AS182K, AS282K, AS382L or ASC682
or to any other industrial dust collector.
5. OPERATIONS COMMON TO BOTH USES
The following operations and settings are for milling rim
joints, and using the machine as a router:

5.1. Starting and stopping the machine

The switch box A has a trigger, B, which starts the
machine, and a safety button C (Fig. 1 and 4). Start the
machine by pressing the safety button C, and, without
releasing it, squeezing the trigger B to start the machine.
If trigger B is pressed again, the safety switch automa-
tically trips and the machine stops. The safety switch
prevents the machine from starting accidentally.
Always make sure that the trimmer is not
in contact with the working part before
starting the machine. Once the machine
has reached its maximum speed, make
contact with the working part and only
stop the machine once the bit is fully clear.
This will increase the quality of the work.
5.2. Speed control: 12,000 – 21,000 rpm
The electronic speed control adjusts the speed of the
motor to suit the size of the cut and the hardness of
the material used for a better finish and to increase
machine performance.
The electronic speed control of the FRE317VD, ensures
constant speed even when under load. Increase or reduce
the speed of the machine by turning the control button
to the right or left as required. There are 6 reference
numbers to simplify finding the correct speed.
The table below shows the position of the electronic
speed control.
The same table is also on the machine itself.

Adjust the speed in accordance with, the
recommendations of the cutting tool
manufacturer.
5.3. Turning the motor body
When using the FRE317VD as a angle trimmer, the machi-
ne must be set at an angle of 45º against its base (Fig. 1).
When using it as a router, the machine must be in an
upright 90º position (Fig. 2).
Set the motor to the desired position by loosening the
lock screws E (Fig. 1 and 2) with the Allen key, turning
the motor until the head F (Fig. 1) is resting on the stop
at the required angle and tightening the lock screws E.
Whenever working at an intermediate angle, use the
scale J2 (Fig. 1) as a guide. This scale indicates the angle
of the motor housing. Once the machine is set at the
correct position, firmly tighten locking screws E.
5.4. Attaching cutting tools
Make sure the trimmer is not connected
to the power supply before attaching the
cutting tool.
Make sure the motor body is blocked by the lock screws
E (Fig. 3) before inserting or removing the cutting tool.
Press the bit lock button G that keeps the motor axle
from turning all the way down and loosen the chuck-
holder nut H using the spanner I (Fig. 3). The chuck
and the chuck-holder nut fit together under pressure,
so make sure the chuck is perfectly seated in the nut
before inserting any tool.
Insert the cutting tool J (Fig. 3) for the job to be performed
and, if necessary, place the reducer in the chuck-holder
nut H. Firmly tighten the chuck-holder using the span-
ner, while holding lock button G down. No reducer is
required when using a 12 mm o r ½" shaft bit. Always
use the shortest possible bits to minimize bit decentring.
The bit, the chuck-holder nut and the reducer should
be completely clean before assembly.
Do not leave the machine without any tool
as the chuck could become too tight and
damage the shaft housing. Never start
the machine when the bit lock button
is pressed.
