Working with the machine

WARNING
Risk of injury
Hold the machine with both hands.
•
Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
•
that it cannot move while being routed.
Guide 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 work-
piece edge.
The side stop can only be fi tted to the large sur-
face router table without a fi tted extraction hood
[4-2].
• 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 rout-
er 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 fi ne adjuster [9-3].
The distance between each line on the rotary
wheel is 0.1 mm - one full turn of the ring rep-
resents 1 mm.
• Tighten the screws [9-2].
b) Edge trimming with bearing guide [Fig.
10]
Use routing tools with a bearing guide in the
machine when edge trimming with the large
surface router table. The machine is then guided
in such a way that the bearing guide rolls off the
workpiece.
When trimming edges, always use the extraction
hood [10-1] for improved dust extraction.
c) Edge trimming with sensor and router ta-
ble for edge veneer [Fig. 11]
When edge trimming with the router table for
edge veneer (only in SET scope of delivery), fi t the
sensor [11-1] to the machine (see Chapter 7.2 b).
The machine is then guided in such a way that the
sensor rests against the workpiece.

Aluminium processing

WARNING
Risk of accident - always perform the following
safety measures when routing aluminium:
• Add a residual-current circuit-breaker (FI,
PRCD).
• Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex-
tractor.
• Remove dust deposits from the motor housing
on a regular basis.
• Wear protective goggles.

Service and maintenance

WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
Always pull the plug out of the socket before
•
performing any type of work on the ma-
chine.
All maintenance and repair work which re-
•
quires the motor housing to be opened must
only be carried out by an authorised service
workshop.
Check the plug and the cable regularly and
•
should either become damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised after-sales service
workshop.
• To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the air vent slits in the motor housing clean and
free of blockages.
The machine is equipped with self-disconnecting
special carbon brushes. If they are worn, power is
interrupted automatically and the machine comes
to a standstill.

Accessories, tools

Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material intended for this machine
because these components are designed spe-
cifi cally for the machine. Using accessories and
consumable material from other suppliers will
most likely affect the quality of your working
results and limit any warranty claims. Machine
wear or your own personal workload may increase
depending on the application. Protect yourself and
your machine, and preserve your warranty claims
by always using original Festool accessories and
Festool consumable material!
