Castle TSM-21 Serial 61076 to 64233 (Parker) Operator Manual - Manual (Page 5)

Identification of Operating Features and Controls
1. Power Switch: Located on the left side of the machine, this
toggle switch turns on the Pocket Router Motor and the
Pilot Drill Motor as well as energizing the Controls.
2. Clamp Cylinder: The large cylinder on the top of the
machine is a clamp that holds the work piece safely in place
during operation. This is a single-acting, spring-return,
pneumatic cylinder with a padded foot on the end of the
cylinder rod.
3. Clamp Guard: The yellow metal Clamp Guard on top of
the machine serves to secure the Clamp Cylinder and to
safeguard the operator from the clamping and pocket cutting
action.
4. Router Stop Plate: Located just inside the rear door, this
black metal plate extends through the top of the case and
along the right side of the Clamp Guard. The position of
this plate determines the size of the “Web.”
5. Foot Pedal and Guard: Mounted inside a yellow metal
guard, the Foot Pedal is connected to the machine by an
electrical cord. Pressing the Foot Pedal will activate the
machine cycle (but only if the Safety Buttons are depressed
by the work piece as well).
6. Safety Buttons: Two small, silver button-head screws
under the Clamp Guard detect if a work piece is in place for
pocketing. The machine will not cycle unless these buttons
are depressed simultaneously with the Foot Pedal.
