Dust extraction

Breathing in dust can dam- age the respiratory passage! Always con-

nect the machine to a dust extractor. When performing work that generates dust, always wear a dust mask.

Extraction hoods are supplied for both router tables; a Festool extractor (extractor hose with a diameter of 27 mm) can be connected to these extraction hoods.

The dust extractor (extractor hose with dia. 27 mm) can also be attached to the “large surface router table” or the side stop depend- ing on the application.

Working with the machine

Always hold the machine with both hands during working.

Always secure the workpiece in such a manner that it cannot move while being routed.

fGuide the machine along the workpiece at a steady rate of advance.

Machine guidance methods

a) Routing with side stop

The side stop is positioned parallel to the workpiece edge.

The side stop can only be fitted to the “large surface router table” without a fitted extrac- tion hood.

–Insert the fine adjuster [9-3] into the side stop.

–Secure both guide rods [9-5] with the two rotary knobs [9-2] on the side stop.

–Insert the side stop into the grooves on the router table to the required distance and secure the guide rods by turning the rotary knob [9-1].

Rough adjustment

–Loosen the screws [9-2] and [9-4] and slide the side stop.

–Tighten the screws.

Fine adjustment

–Loosen the screws [9-2] and turn the green wheel on the fine adjuster [9-3].

fThe distance between each line on the ro- tary wheel is 0.1 mm - one full turn of the ring represents 1 mm.

– Tighten the screws [9-2].
