Routing with Parallel Guide (see figure K)
Slide the parallel guide
36
with the guide rods
37
into the
base plate
13
and tighten as required with the wing bolts
42
.
Additionally, the parallel guide can be adjusted lengthwise
with the wing bolts
38
and
39
.
Fine adjustment of the length is possible with the fine-adjust-
ment knob
40
after loosening both wing bolts
38
. One revolu-
tion corresponds with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One gradu-
ation mark on the fine-adjustment knob
40
changes the
setting range by 0.1 mm.
The effective contact surface of the parallel guide can be ad-
justed with the edge guide
41
.
Guide the switched on power tool with uniform feed and later-
al pressure on the parallel guide alongside the workpiece
edge.
Routing with the Router Compass (see figure L)
The router compass/guide-rail adapter
43
can be used for cir-
cular routing jobs. Mount the router compass as shown in the
figure.
Screw the centring screw
48
into the thread on the router
compass. Insert the point of the centring screw into the cen-
tre of the circular arc to be routed, paying attention that point
of the screw engages into the workpiece surface.
Coarsely adjust the required radius by moving the router com-
pass and tighten the wing bolts
45
and
46
.
The length can be fine adjusted with the fine-adjustment knob
47
after loosening the wing bolt
46
. One revolution corre-
sponds with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One graduation mark
on the fine-adjustment knob
47
changes the setting range by
0.1 mm.
Guide the switched on power tool over the workpiece with the
right handle
4
and the router compass handle
44
.
Routing with Guide Rail (see figure M)
Straight routing cuts can be carried out with help of the guide
rail
50
.
The base spacer
49
must be mounted in order to compensate
the height difference.
Mount the router compass/guide-rail adapter
43
as shown in
the figure.
Fasten the guide rail
50
to the workpiece with suitable clamp-
ing devices, e. g. screw clamps. Place the machine with the
guide-rail adapter
43
mounted onto the guide rail.
Routing with Guide Bushing (see figures N–Q)
The guide bushing
54
enables template and pattern routing
on workpieces.
In order to use the guide bushing
54
, the guide bushing adapt-
er
52
must be inserted into the guide plate
15
first.
Place the guide bushing adapter
52
from above onto the
guide plate
15
and tighten it firmly with the 2 fastening
screws
51
. Pay attention that the release lever for the guide
bushing adapter
53
is freely movable.
Choose a suitable guide bushing, depending on the thickness
of the template or the pattern. Because of the projecting
height of the guide bushing, the template must have a mini-
mum thickness of 8 mm.
Actuate the release lever
53
and insert the guide bushing
54
from below into the guide bushing adapter
52
. Ensure that
the encoding keys clearly engage in the grooves of the guide
bushing.
Check the clearance from router bit centre and guide bushing
edge, see section “Centring the Base Plate”.
f
Select a router bit with a diameter smaller than the in-
terior diameter of the guide bushing.
For routing with the guide bushing
54
proceed as follows:
–
Note:
Take into consideration that for routing work with
the non-plunge base
3
, the router bit
18
always protrudes
out of the base plate
13
. Do not damage the template or
the workpiece.
– Guide the switched on power tool with the guide bushing
toward the template.
– When using the plunge base
2
: Press the release lever for
plunge action
21
down and slowly guide the router down
until the set depth-of-cut is reached. Let go of release lever
21
again to lock this plunging depth.
– Guide the switched on power tool with the protruding
guide bushing alongside the template applying lateral
pressure.
Centring the Base Plate (see figure R)
To ensure that the distance from router bit centre and guide
bushing edge is uniform, the guide bushing and the guide
plate can be adjusted to each other, if required.
– When using the plunge base
2
: Press the release lever for
plunge action
21
down and guide the router toward the
base plate to the stop. Let go of release lever
21
again to
lock this plunging depth.
– Loosen the fastening screws
55
approx. 2 turns so that the
guide plate
15
is freely movable.
– Insert the centring pin
56
into the tool holder as shown in
the figure. Hand-tighten the tightening nut so that the cen-
tring pin can still be moved freely.
– Align the centring pin
56
and the guide bushing
54
to each
other by slightly moving the guide plate
15
.
– Tighten the fastening screws
55
again.
– Remove the centring pin
56
from the tool holder.
– When using the plunge base
2
: Press the release lever for
plunge action
21
and guide the router back to the upper-
most position.
Operation with Router Table (see figure S)
The non-plunge base
3
can be used with a suitable router ta-
ble. To install the router, remove the guide plate
15
and fas-
ten the non-plunge base
3
to the router table with the fasten-
ing screws
58
.
f
For mounting of the non-plunge base, please observe
the operating instructions of your router table.
If neces-
sary, matching holes must be drilled into the router table in
order to mount the non-plunge base.
For fine adjustment of the depth-of-cut, it is best to use the ex-
tension
59
or the specialty Allen key
57
.
