is required.
See the fi gure aside for connection and disconnec-
tion of the power cable.
Always switch the machine off before
connecting or disconnecting the power cable!
Extension cable
If an extension cable is required, it must have a suf-
fi cient cross-section so as to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in
voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
of the motor. The table shows you the correct cable
diameter as a function of the cable length for the
router OF 1010 EQ. Use only U.L. and CSA listed
extension cables. Never use two extension cables
together. Instead, use one long one.
Note: The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
cable.

Switching the machine on and off

Keep the machine steady during
switching and during use by holding the handle (3.2)
and the additional handle (3.1) with both hands.
The switch (3.4) is used to switch the tool on and off.
For continuous operation the switch can be locked
by means of the button on the side (3.3). The switch
can be unlocked by pressing again.
After the machine has been switched
off, the milling cutter will still rotate for a time. Take
care that parts of your body do not come into contact
with the milling cutter while it is still rotating!

Electronics

Do not work with the OF 1010 EQ if the
electronic control is defective since this may lead to
excessive speeds. A defect in the electronic control
is indicated by the absence of a smooth run-up, a
higher noise level at idle or the fact that no speed
control is possible.
The router OF 1010 EQ has solid shaft electronics
with the following functions:
Smooth start-up:
The electronically controlled smooth start-up facil-
ity enables start-up of the machine without jerks
and requires a lower start-up current.
