Note: The lower the AWG number, the stronger the cable.
3 Machine construction
Always disconnect the plug from the power
supply before making any adjustments to the router or
installing or removing any accessory!
3.1 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 facility enables
start-up of the machine without jerks and requires a lower
start-up current.
Speed regulation:
Using the electronic speed control (1.10) the motor speed
can be continuously adjusted from 10 000 and 23 000 rpm.
The table beside offers a guide to the correct electronic setting
for various materials. The settings are naturally infinitely
variable.
Constant speed:
The selected motor speed is electronically maintained to a
constant level. By this means a uniform cutting speed is
achieved.
Temperature protection:
Extreme overloading during continuous use leads to the motor
overheating. To protect against overheating (burnout of the
motor) an electronic temperature monitor is installed. Before
a critical motor temperature is reached, the safety electronics
switch the motor off. After a cooling down time of about 3 to
5 minutes, the machine is ready for operation again and can
be fully loaded. The cooling down time can be reduced
considerably if the machine is allowed to idle.
3.2 Chips extraction
A connection for extracting dust and chips (1.5) is a standard
feature on the routers. At the same time a chip guard (2.1)
on the pallel guide (chapter 4.3 b) prevents flying chips. With
edge routing, the best extraction effect is obtained with the
extractor hood AH-OF, available as an accessory.

3.3 Milling cutters

Always unplug the tool from the mains before
changing cutters!
Do not exceed the maximum speed specified on
the tool and/or keep to the speed range. Cracked or distorted
cutters must not be used.
We recommend that milling cutters with diameters over 30
mm should not be used with this machine.
Milling cutter insertion
- Insert the milling cutter into the clamping collet.
- Turn the spindle until the spindle stop (3.1) catches when
pressed and the spindle is locked in place.
- Tighten the collet nut (3.2) with a 19 mm open-end spanner.
