Operation

WARNING
Risk of accident - read the following instruc-
tions:
fAlways secure the workpiece in such a man-
ner that it cannot move while being routed.
fAlways hold the machine with both hands and
by the handles [2.4] available.
fAlways switch on the router before bring-
ing the router bit into contact with the work-
piece!
fBefore starting work, make sure that the
clamp lever [1.6] is closed and the eccenter
[1.7] is open.
fAlways ensure that the cutting power of the
machine works against the feed direction of
the machine (up-cut routing).
Procedure
fPreset the required routing depth.
fSwitch on the machine.
fUnscrew the rotary knob [1.3].
fPush the machine down as far as possible.
fClamp the machine in this position by tighten-
ing the rotary knob [1.3].
fPerform the routing task.
fUnscrew the rotary knob [1.3].
fMove the machine slowly upwards to the stop.
fSwitch off the machine.
8.1 Machine guidance methods
a) Routing with side stop
The side stop (partly as an accessory) is posi-
tioned parallel to the workpiece edge.
fSecure both guide rods [12.4] with the two ro-
tary knobs [12.2] on the side stop.
fInsert the guide rods into the grooves on the
router base to the required distance and se-
cure them by turning the rotary knob [12.1].
Fine adjustment
fUnscrew the rotary knob [12.7] to make fine ad-
justments with the adjusting wheel [12.5]. The
dial ring [12.6] has a 0.1 mm scale for this pur-
pose. If the adjusting wheel is held secure, the
dial ring can be turned separately and set to
"Zero". The millimetre scale [12.3] on the main
casing is useful for making larger adjustments.
22
fTighten the rotary knob [12.7] again after com-
pleting any fine adjustments.
fAdjust both guidance jaws [13.3] so that they
are approx. 5 mm from the router bit. To do
this, undo screws [13.2] and tighten again after
completing the adjustments.
fOnly when routing along an edge: slide the ex-
tractor hood [13.1] 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 [13.4]. Alternatively, leave the ma-
chine to extract the dust via the extractor con-
nector.
b) Copy routing
When routing with templates, fit an integrated
copying ring to the router (accessory).
L
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.
CAUTION
An excessively large routing tool may damage
the copying ring and cause accidents.
fMake sure that the routing tool used fits through
the opening on the copying ring.
Procedure
fLay the machine on its side on a stable base.
fOpen the lever [14.4].
fRemove the base runner [14.1].
fRelease the lever [14.4] again.
fInsert a copying ring [14.3] in the correct posi-
tion on the router base.
fInsert the tabs [14.2] on a base runner into the
router base.
fPush down the base runner until it engages in
the router base.
The overhang Y of the workpiece in relation to the
template [Fig. 15] is calculated as follows:
Y = ½ (diameter of copying ring minus diameter
of routing bit)
c) Edge trimming
Routing tools with a bearing guide are required
when the machine is used for edge trimming.
The machine is then guided in such a way that
the bearing guide rolls off the workpiece.
