Maximum displacement of the movable front
panel over the centre of the blade tool is 45 mm.
(Fig. 15 and 16).
8.3 MITRE JOINTING
For all board thicknesses and angle, use the
movable front panel and the movable fence (Fig.
18 and 19). Example: 45° MITRE JOINT. Position
the front movable panel at the desired distance
and the movable fence at 45° (Fig. 20 and 21).
Glue and assemble (Fig. 22).
8.4 FRAME JOINTING
Frames can be mitre or square jointed. Two spli-
nes are recommended if the thickness is greater
than 25 mm. (Fig. 23, 24, 25).
8.5 LENGTHWISE JOINTING
For lengthwise jointing, the movable front panel
should be set at board thickness. Proceed as
indicated in figures (Fig. 26, 27, 28).
9. STARTING UP THE MACHINE
To start up the machine, push button R forward
(Fig. 14) to the on position.
To stop the machine, simply press the back of the
switch and it will return to the off position.
10. CHANGING THE DISC
WARNING! Unplug the machine from the electri-
cal outlet before any maintenance operations.
Remove the cover A fixing bolts (Fig. 29).
Separate the base from the machine body (Fig.
30).
Remove the disc with the wrench, as shown in
(Fig. 31).
Clean the seat and follow the instructions for
assembly in reverse order (Fig. 32).
11. DEPTH ADJUSTEMENT
WARNING! Unplug the machine from the electri-
cal outlet before any maintenance operations.
Put the depth regulator in the nº 20 position and
set the disc outlet at 12 mm with the nuts, main-
taining the machine in the cutting position (Fig.
33 and 34).
To check the depth, cut a groove, insert a piece
of board and mark with a pencil. Turn it over and
check that the mark coincides. If not, correct the
defect by adjusting the nuts. (Fig. 35).
Recommendations:
Keep the machine clean and lubricate the guides
periodically. They should never be left dry (Fig.
36 and 37).
12. MAINTENANCE OF BRUSHES
AND COLLECTOR
WARNING! Unplug the machine from the electri-
cal outlet before any maintenance operations.
Remove screws B (Fig. 384) that fasten the side
covers and detach both.
Remove the brush-holder H (Fig. 39) with small
screwdriver G, using one of the brush-holder side
tabs to lever it out.
Push back the end of spring C.
Keep it in this position to extract the brush and
replace it with a new genuine Rupes brush.
Reinsert the brush-holder, ensuring that it is fir-
mly positioned in the casing and that each of the
brushes exerts a small amount of pressure on
the collector.
Re-attach the covers F with the corresponding
screws, making sure that no wires get caught in
the process.
It is advisable to leave the machine running for
15 minutes once the brushes have been chan-
ged.
If the collector burns or juts out, it should be ser-
viced by a Rupes service technician. Keep the
lead and plug in good working condition.
13. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

the nozzle through the guides up to its limit (Fig.
41). Replace the bolt D, pressing the nozzle
against the cover (Fig. 42).
