Festool OF 2200 EB Original Operating Manual page 25

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 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.
When trimming edges, always use the chip deflec-
tor KSF-OF to improve dust extraction.
d) Routing with a guide system FS
The guide system (partly as an accessory) makes
it easier to route straight grooves.
fSecure the guide rail to the workpiece using
clamps [16.4].
fInsert the base runner [16.3] for the guide stop
into the router base (see "Changing the base
runner").
L
This base runner is offset to compensate for
the height of the guide rail.
fSecure both guide rods [16.6] with the rotary
knobs [16.5] and [16.9] on the guide stop.
fUnscrew the rotary knob [16.1].
fInsert the guide rods [16.6] into the grooves on
the router base.
fPlace the router with the guide stop on the
guide rail.
fIf required, you can adjust the play of the guide
stop on the guide rail by adjusting the two guid-
ance jaws [16.2] with a screwdriver.
fSlide the router along the guide rods until the
routing tool reaches the required distance X
from the guide rail.
fScrew up the rotary knob [16.1].
fUnscrew the rotary knob [16.10].
fTurn the adjusting wheel [16.7] to adjust dis-
tance X more precisely.
L
Hold the adjusting wheel [16.7] to turn the
scale [16.8] independently to "zero".
fScrew up the rotary knob [16.10].
8.2 Changing the base runner
Festool offers special base runners (as an acces-
sory) for different applications.
Change the base runner as follows:
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 the tabs [14.2] on a base runner into the
router base.
fPush down the base runner until it engages in
the router base.
Before using the base runner: remove the protec-
tive foil!
8.3 Aluminium processing
WARNING
Risk of accident - always perform the following
safety measures when routing aluminium:
fAdd a residual-current circuit-breaker (FI,
PRCD).
fConnect the machine to a suitable dust ex-
tractor.
fRemove dust deposits from the motor hous-
ing on a regular basis.
fWear protective goggles.
