Frame joint (Fig. F):
- Groove-angle setting 45°
- Protective router cover mounted
- For workpiece thicknesses above 25 mm a second
routing groove/biscuit is required.
Marking the Groove Placement
The grooves are usually spaced between 10 and
15 cm apart. The centre of the first groove should be
located approx. 4 - 6 cm away from the outer edge of
the workpiece. The height of the groove should be
centred to the workpiece.
For narrow workpieces, the grooves can be routed
directly on the carrier, the stop or the base plate, using
the marks 7.
Routing Procedure
Before beginning to work, check for proper
seating of the protective guard 8.
Before switching on, check if the automatic
resetting feature of the motor unit operates prop-
erly: Press the machine with the base plate
against a firm surface (e. g. a table edge) until the
routing blade becomes visible. When releasing
the pressure, the routing blade must be retracted
all the way again.
Make sure that both slip protectors 9 are com-
pletely turned out.
Firmly hold the machine with both hands by the han-
dle 4 and the motor housing 3.
Switch the machine on and guide it toward the work-
piece.
Pay attention that the applied pressure is uniform.
Less pressure increases the working performance
and makes the machine and the routing tools last
longer.
Switch the machine off after the work cycle and wait
until the motor unit has returned to the starting position.
Routing Longitudinal Grooves
Depending on the desired groove width, special rout-
ing blades must be used when routing longitudinal
grooves.
For this, the slip protectors 9 must be deactivated.
Observe routing direction!
The feed motion of the router must always be
carried out against the rotation direction of the
router blade (see direction-of-rotation arrow on
the machine). Otherwise, the router can break
loose, eliminating control by the user.
Routing Resin Galls
Resin galls can be routed when using special routing
tools.
With such a routing tool, the slot width in the base
plate 26 must first be extended to the maximum
depth.
Use router blades size 100 x 8.1 mm.
Routing S6 Biscuit Joint Connections
For joints with plate thicknesses in excess of 30 mm,
such as door frames, stairs or bed frames, the use of
S6 biscuits is recommended.
Both grooves are to be routed 10 mm apart.
Routing Thin/Narrow Workpieces
For frame joints or thin workpieces, the use of H9 bis-
cuits is recommended. A special routing tool is
required for this.
For narrow workpieces, use the stop 6 if possible and
pay attention that the marks 7, where the router blade
engages laterally, are within the workpiece.

11 Maintenance Measures

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug!
Always keep the ventilation slots clean.
Wipe off the accessible plastic parts regularly with a
cloth without cleaning agent.
Clean and grease the column guides 5 as required.
Only use non-gummy oil (e.g. sewing machine oil).
After heavy use over a long period, the machine
should be taken to a Kress service location for an
inspection and thorough cleaning.

12 Environmental Protection

Do not dispose of electric tools
together with household waste
material!
Recycle raw materials instead of
disposing as waste
The machine, accessories and packaging should be
sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.
These instructions are printed on recycled paper man-
ufactured without chlorine.
The plastic components are labelled for categorised
recycling.
