Face Plate Off/ Reg. / Extend Time:
Small plates take less time than large plates for mortise locks. Set this switch to
EXTEND TIME for large plates or you will machine incomplete face plate routs. The
amount of time that is allowed can be adjusted with a potentiometer mounted on the
outside on electrical box. Loosen the nut and adjust the screw head counter clockwise
to decrease time, or clockwise to increase routing time.
Extend Hinge Router Time Off / On:
The selector switch increases the amount of time the router takes to complete cutting
passes. The Extend Hinge Router Time ON switch is ideal for hard woods, laminates,
and deep hinge pockets. Select off for normal machine. NOTE: When in the
EXTEND mode it is necessary to readjust the flow controls to slow cylinder operation.
If the router stalls, slow down cylinders until router cuts smoothly. These adjustments
will probably take a few test cuts to tune.
Front Section Skip #2 / All:
Skip #2 command instructs the machine to skip the routing the center hinge. “ALL”
command instructs the machine to rout all hinges.
Front Section, Override In-feed Limit:
The arrow button sends the hinge carriage to the right. The In-feed limit button
overrides the limit switch to return to a hinge pocket and machine it again.
1. Normally the “Start” button on the auxiliary panel sends the carriage to the left, then if
the hinge router has been selected, the next press on the start button will send it to the
right, machining as it goes.
2. If the router carriage is returning to the left, pressing the In-feed limit button will stop
the carriage, and pressing the “Start” button again will cause the router carriage to
move to the right and resume cutting the next pocket that it comes to.
3. There are some “dead zones” caused by the set collars and proximity sensors, in which
hitting the In-feed limit button will kill the router carriage. If this happens, hit
“Emergency Stop”, then “Master Start”, the “Start”. You will quickly learn where the
“Dead Zones” are and avoid them: basically, just make sure that you bring the carriage
back past the collar for the pocket that you want to machine and you will be in
business.
