Clamping workpieces
Always clamp the two workpieces which are to be jointed
simultaneously.
Pay attention to the following during this work (see
Figure 10):
• Clamp the workpieces so that the faces which are to be
joined lie against one another.
• The sides of the workpieces must rest against the
stop.
• The tops of the workpieces must be fl ush with one
another.
• The outer sides in the clamped position (a1 - a4) form
the inner sides of the fi nished joint.
• In the case of frames (carcasses) the workpieces for the
corners "A" must be placed against the left stop and the
corners "B" against the right stop. The workpieces "1"
and "3" must always be clamped on top, the workpieces
"2 and "4" always at the front of the jointing system.
c)
Preparing the router (see 5.3)
Caution: Always unplug the tool from the mains
before changing cutters!
• Clamp the cutter (see Table T2) in the router's clamping
collet.
• Set the zero point (routing depth = 0 mm) on your
router by placing the tool on the template and pushing
down until the cutter touches the surface of the of the
clamped workpiece.
• Set the following routing depth on your router
(Caution: these dimensions only apply for the cutters
named in Table T2):
SZ 14: 12 mm,
SZ 20: 15 mm.
• When routing joints use the extractor hood for the
router's side stop or the extractor hood AH-OF 900
(accessory, order no. 484 453). Connect the extractor
hood to a suitable dust extractor from dust class "M"
(e.g. Festool CTM dust extractor).
Note: set the gap between the extractor hood and
vertical workpiece so that you still have enough travel
to rout the dovetails.
d)
Processing
Scoring
In order to avoid splintering in vertically clamped
workpieces their surface should be scored:
• Place a strip whose width is the width of the workpiece
+33 mm (11.1) on the template mount. This strip serves
as a guide for the router.
• Place the router on the workpiece to the right of the
template so that the guide surface (11.2) of the router's
table rests against the strip.
• Press the tool down to the pre-set routing depth and
lock the routing depth on the router.
• Switch the router on.
• Guide the router from right to left along the strip and
thus synchronously score the workpiece.
