adjusted with the screw (1.2) on the indi-
cator.
b) Setting the milling depth
The desired milling depth can be set either
with the quick depth adjustment or with the
fi ne depth adjustment.
- Quick depth adjustment: Pull the stop
cylinder (1.7) up until the pointer shows
the desired milling depth. Clamp the stop
cylinder in this position with the clamping
lever (1.6).
- Fine depth adjustment: Clamp the stop
cylinder with the clamping lever (1.6). Set
the desired milling depth by turning the
adjusting wheel (1.4) in. Turn the adjusting
wheel to the next mark on the scale to ad-
just the milling depth by 0.1 mm. One full
turn adjusts the milling depth by 1 mm.
The maximum adjustment range with the
adjusting wheel is 8 mm.
c) Increasing the milling depth
- Open the rotary knob (1.5) and press the
tool down until the stop cylinder touches
the sensing stops.
- Clamp the machine in this position by tigh-
tening the rotary knob (1.5).

Dust extraction

Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
- Fit the extractor hood to the router base by
fi rst inserting the two tenons (3.1) on the
extractor hood into the recesses (3.2) on
the router base, then place the extractor
hood on the router base and close the lever
(3.5).
- To enable fi tting and removing the ex-
tractor hood with the router attached, the
recess (3.3) in the extractor hood can be
opened by turning the segment (3.4). For
optimised dust extraction, the recess with
the rotating segment must be closed during
work.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm
recommended due to the reduced risk of
clogging) can be connected to the extractor
connector (3.6).

KSF-OF chip catcher
Using the KSF-OF chip catcher (11.1) (some-
times included in the scope of delivery), the
effi ciency of the extraction can be increased
when routing edges.
Installation is similar to that of the copying
ring (fi g. 8).
The hood can be cut off along the grooves
(11.2) using a hacksaw and can thus be re-
duced in size. The chip catcher can then be
used for interior radiuses up to a minimum
radius of 40 mm.

Always advance the router in the direction
opposite to the direction of rotation of the
cutter (counter-routing)!
When routing (ensure feed direction of po-
wer tool is the same as cutting direction of
tool, Fig. 9).

- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-bre-
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations
6.2
Freehand routing is the method normally
used for lettering or shapes, and for rou-
ting edges using cutters with a guide pin
or ring.
6.3
The parallel guide (4.2) supplied can be
used for routing parallel to the edge of the
workpiece.
- Secure both guide rods (4.2) with the two

Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such
a manner that it cannot move while
being sawed.
The machine must always be held
with both hands by the designated
handles (1.15, 1.11).
