Maintenance - Stanley ST55 Instruction Manual

ENGLISH (Original Instructions)
Working with a straight guide (Fig. H)
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
Fit the straight guide (11) to the base (9) using the guide
screw (19).
Set the required stop depth using the wing bolt on the
straight guide (11).
While it is switched on, guide the power tool along the work-
piece edge with a uniform feed and while applying lateral
pressure to the parallel guide.
Edge or profile routing (Fig. I)
For edge and profile routing without a straight guide, the
router bit must be fitted with a pilot pin or a ball bearing.
While it is switched on, guide the power tool towards the
workpiece from the side until the pilot pin or the ball bearing
of the router bit is touching the side of the workpiece edge
that you want to machine.
Guide the power tool along the workpiece edge. Pay atten-
tion that the router is positioned perpendicularly. Too much
pressure can damage the edge of the workpiece.
Circular work (Fig. J)
Circular work may be accomplished if you assemble the
straight guide and guide plate as shown in the figure. Min.
and max. radius of circular to be cut (distance between the
center of circle and the center of bit) are as follows:
Min.: 65 mm
Max.: 222 mm
NOTE:
• Circles between 173 mm and 186 mm in radius cannot be
cut using this guide.
Align the center hole in the straight guide with the center of
the circle to be cut. Drive a nail less than 6 mm in diameter
into the center hole to secure the straight guide. Pivot the
tool around the nail in clockwise direction.
