Machine guidance methods

a) Routing with side stop
The side stop (partly as an accessory) is positioned
parallel to the workpiece edge.
15.1
– Secure both guide rods [15.4] with the two rotary
knobs [15.2] on the side stop.
– Insert the guide rods into the grooves on the
router base to the required distance and secure
them by turning the rotary knob [15.1].
Fine adjustment
– Unscrew the rotary knob [15.7] to make fi ne
adjustments with the adjusting wheel [15.5].
The dial ring [15.6] has a 0.1 mm scale for this
purpose. If the adjusting wheel is held secure,
the dial ring can be turned separately and set
to "Zero". The millimetre scale [15.3] on the
15.2 15.3
main casing is useful for making larger adjust-
ments.
– Tighten the rotary knob [15.7] again after com-
pleting any fi ne adjustments.

16.3
– Adjust both guidance jaws [16.3] so that they are
approx. 5 mm from the router bit. To do this, undo
screws [16.2] and tighten again after completing
the adjustments.
– Only when routing along an edge: slide the ex-
tractor hood [16.1] until it latches into position
on the side stop and connect an extraction hose
27 mm or 36 mm in diameter to the extractor
connector [16.4]. Alternatively, leave the machine
to extract the dust via the extractor connector.
b) Copy routing
When routing with templates, fi t an integrated copy-
ing ring to the router (accessory).
Note:
 Copying rings can be used in combination with
the standard base runner. A special base run-
ner is available as an accessory to improve the
contact surface.
may damage the copying ring and cause accidents.
