rotary knobs (4.4) 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
(4.5).
- Fine adjustment: Unscrew the rotary
knob (4.6) to make fi ne adjustments with
the adjusting wheel (4.8). The scale ring
(4.7) 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 millimetre scale (4.1)
on the main casing is useful when making
larger adjustments. Tighten the rotary
knob (4.6) again on completion of any fi ne
adjustments.
- Adjust both guidance jaws (4.3, 5.1) so
that they are approx. 5 mm from the
router. To do this, undo screws (5.2) and
tighten again after completing the adjust-
ments.
- As shown in Fig. 5, slide the extractor hood
(5.4) from behind until it latches into place
on the side stop. You can connect an ex-
tractor hose with a diameter of 27 mm or
36 mm to the extractor connector (5.3).
6.4 Routing with the FS guide sys-
tem
The guide system, available as an accessory,
facilitates routing straight grooves.
- Fasten the guide stop (6.1) to the platen
with the guide rails of the parallel guide.
- Fasten the guide rail (6.3) with FSZ screw
clamps (6.4) to the workpiece. Make sure
that the safety distance X (Fig. 6) of 5 mm
between the front edge of the guide rail
and cutter or groove is observed.
- Place the guide stop onto the guide rail
as shown in Fig. 6. To ensure a backlash-
free guidance of the router stop you can
adjust two guide cheeks with a screwdriver
through the side openings (6.2).
- Screw the height-adjustable support (6.6)
of the router table's threaded bore in such a
way that the underside of the router table is
parallel to the surface of the workpiece.
When working with marking-up lines, the
marks on the platen (6.5) and the scale on
the support (6.6) show the centre axis of
the cutter.

A copying ring or the copying device is used
to exactly reproduce existing workpieces
(both available as accessories).
a)
When choosing the size of the copying ring
make sure that the cutter used fi ts through
the ring's opening.
The distance Y (Fig. 9) between the workpi-
ece and template is calculated by
- Secure the copying ring (8.1) to the router
base by inserting both tenons (8.2) into
the recesses (8.3).
- To loosen the copying ring, press both
buttons (1.16) inwards simultaneously.
b)
The angle arm WA-OF (10.2) and copier
scanning set KT-OF, consisting of roller hol-
der (10.6) and three copying rollers (10.7),
are required for the copying device.
- Screw the angle arm at the desired height
in the platen's threaded bore (10.1) with
the rotating knob (10.3).
- Fit a copying roller in the roller holder and
bolt this to the angle arm with the rotating
knob (10.5). Make sure that the copying
roller and cutter have the same diame-
ter!
- Turn the adjusting wheel (10.4) to adjust
the distance between the copying roller
and cutter axis.
