–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 fine 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 fine 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).
