Virutex FRE317VD Mode D'emploi page 13

In this position, turn the depth indicator S (Fig. 4) until
the zero position matches the reference mark. This will
be the starting position indicating the point at which
the bit comes into contact with the material.
Hold the rod in place with knob K (Fig. 4), release loc-
king knob E and leave the machine in the off position.
Loosen fastening knob P, move the adjustment rod O
(Fig. 4) upwards to the desired cutting depth and lock
it again with knob P. Turn turret W until the highest
step is below the rod O (Fig. 4) and make the first cut
in the material. Turn the turret to the next step and
make another run, and so on until the required depth
is attained when the lowest step is reached.
7.3. Using the parallel guide
The parallel guide (Fig. 9) is used for trimming edges
and cutting slots of different shapes to match different
profiles. Hard metal cutting bits are particularly useful
for smoothing edges and lengthening the working life
of the bits.
When you use the parallel guide, you will have to fit
handle Y1 (Fig. 9) on the front of the machine to work
more comfortably.
Parallel guide rods are placed in the base openings B1
(Fig. 1 and 9) on the front of the machine and fastened
with two screws C1 (Fig. 9) using a number 5 allen key.
NORMAL SQUARE ADJUSTMENT - Loosen the two
fastening knobs D1 (Fig. 9) of the guide, move the
square to the required measurement and fasten it in this.
PRECISE ADJUSTMENT - Once the square E1 has been
approximately positioned and held in place, a further
fine adjustment may be made. Loosen square fastening
knob F1 (Fig. 9) and turn the fine adjustment knob G1
to the required measurement before tightening the
square fastening knob F1 in this position. One full turn
of the knob moves the square by 1 mm, with a maxi-
mum distance of 10 mm. The gauged fine-adjustment
indicator H1 (Fig. 9) can be moved separately from the
knob, so that it may be set to 0 from any position using
the reference mark. After adjusting the indicator H1
when turning the adjustment knob G1, it will indicate
the degree to which the square has moved, each division
representing an advance of 0.1 mm.
7.4. Using templates
Templates are used for surface routing in a wide variety
of ways. When making a copy, there is a difference in size
between the template and the routed part. The difference
between the external radius of the template and the
cutting tool must always be taken into consideration
when making a template.
Fit the chosen template I1 (Fig. 10) to the machine by
first fitting an extra part J1 (Fig. 10) with two screws
K1 (Fig. 10). Fasten this accessory to the base with two
screws and washers L1 (Fig. 10).
8. GUARD FOR PLANER TRIMMER REF. 1740349
For your safety, whenever using planer
trimmer 1740349 or any trimmer with
the motor housing at a 45° angle, except
corner trimmers, always fit trimmer guard
K2 (Fig. 11). Once the trimmer is level
with the base, as described in section
5.4, place the guard in position and hold
it firmly using one of the handgrips on
the machine.
9. UF317S USING THE MACHINE FOR PARALLEL
CUTS. OPTIONAL ACCESSORY
Parallel cutting tool ref. 1745838 is made up of: 2 O1
650 mm guide rails (Fig. 12), 1 set of 2 Q1 connectors
(Fig. 12), a system for guiding and fastening FRE317VD
M1, N1, (Fig. 12), two suction pads and two U1 G-clamps
(Fig. 14 and 15) to fasten the machine or the rails to
the part, and with the following uses:
- As a tool for parallel cuts. Parallel cuts can be made
by sliding the machine along a rail (Fig. 13).
- As a tool for fastening the machine: it can perform
work that requires maintaining the base of the machine
locked on a part. The base of the machine can be fastened
directly to the fastening unit or by using the suction
cups provided with the unit U1 (Fig. 17). The base of
the machine can be directly fastened at the rail or by
using the two suction pads supplied with equipment
U1 (Fig. 17), and which are fitted on the machine base
and the part.
9.1. Preparing the rail
First, join the two rails by inserting the joint guides Q1
(Fig. 12) in the slots and locking the studs R1 (Fig. 12)
on the two rails using the 3 mm allen key.
Now insert the guide rule M1 with the fixing clamp N1
(Fig. 12), through one end of the slot in rail O1 (Fig. 12)
and, once in position, tighten the knob P1 (Fig. 12) to
lock it to the rail.
9.2. Attaching the machine to the rail
Place the trimmer beside rail O1, (Fig. 13), attach the
fixing clamp N1 to the sides of the machine base S1
and fasten it firmly with the two screws T1 (Fig. 13).
The distance between the machine shaft and the edge
of the rail is 102.5 mm.
9.3. Fastening the rail to the part
USING G-CLAMPS: Fasten the rail to the part using
the g-clamps provided with the accessory.
Insert one g-clamp in the slot of the rail at each end, bring
it close to the part and fasten it to the edges (Fig. 14).
USING SUCTION CUPS: The rail can also be fastened
