Routing With The Fs Guide System; Copy Cutting - Festool OF 1400 EQ Instruction Manual

The parallel guide (accessory) can be used
for routing parallel to the edge of the work-
piece.
– Secure both guide rods (9.2) with the two
rotary knobs (9.3) 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 (9.4).
Fine adjustment:
– Unscrew the rotary knob (9.5) to make fi ne
adjustments with the adjusting wheel (9.7).
The scale ring (9.6) has a 0.1 mm scale
for this purpose. If the adjusting wheel is
held secure, the scale ring can be turned
separately and set to „Zero". The millime-
tre scale (9.1) on the main casing is useful
when making larger adjustments. Tighten
the rotary knob (9.5) again on completion
of any fi ne adjustments.
– Adjust both guidance jaws (9.8) so that
they are approx. 5 mm from the router. To
do this, undo screws (9.9) and tighten again
after completing the adjustments.
– Slide the extractor hood (9.10) from behind
until it latches into place on the side stop.
You can connect an extractor hose with a
diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm to the extrac-
tor connector (9.11).

– Fasten the guide stop (10.1) to the platen
with the guide rails of the parallel guide.
– Fasten the guide rail with FSZ screw clamps
(10.3) to the workpiece. Make sure that
the safety distance X of 5 mm between the
front edge of the guide rail and cutter or
groove is observed.
– Place the guide stop onto the guide rail as
shown in Fig. 10. To ensure a backlash-
free guidance of the router stop you can
adjust two guide cheeks with a screwdriver
through the side openings (10.2).
– Screw the height-adjustable support (10.5)
of the router table's threaded bore in such
a way that the underside of the router table
is parallel to the surface of the workpiece.
When working with marking-up lines, the
marks on the platen (10.4) and the scale on
the support (10.5) show the centre axis of
the cutter.
Fine adjustment
The distance X (fi g. 10) of the router to the
guide rail can be set fi nely using the fi ne ad-
justment (Accessories).
– Fit the fi ne adjustment (11.5) between the
router and guide stop (11.4) on the guide
bars.
– Insert the adjusting wheel (11.2) for the
fi ne adjustment in the recesses of the fi ne
adjustment and guide stop, and screw the
thread of the adjusting wheel approxi-
mately half way into the nut of the fi ne
adjustment.
