–Open the lever [17.4].
–Remove the base runner [17.1].
–Release the lever [17.4] again.
–Insert a copying ring [17.3] in the correct position on the router base.
–Insert the tabs [17.2] on a base runner into the router base.
–Push down the base runner until it engages in the router base.
The overhang Y of the workpiece in relation the template is calculated as follows:
Y
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 deflector
d) Routing with a guide system FS
The guide system (partly as an accessory) makes it easier to route straight grooves.

–Secure the guide rail to the workpiece using clamps [19.4].
–Insert the base runner [19.3] for the guide stop into the router base (see "Changing
the base runner").
fThis base runner is offset to compensate for the height of the guide rail.
–Secure both guide rods [19.6] with the rotary knobs [19.5] and [19.9] on the guide stop.
–Unscrew the rotary knob [19.1].
–Insert the guide rods [19.6] into the grooves on the router base.
–Place the router with the guide stop on the guide rail.
–If required, you can adjust the play of the guide stop on the guide rail by adjusting the two guidance jaws [19.2] with a screwdriver.
–Slide the router along the guide rods until the routing tool reaches the required distance X from the guide rail.
–Screw up the rotary knob [19.1].
–Unscrew the rotary knob [19.10].
–Turn the adjusting wheel [19.7] to adjust distance X more precisely.
fHold the adjusting wheel [19.7] to turn the scale [19.8] independently to "zero".
– Screw up the rotary knob [19.10].
