down for approximately 3–5 minutes before us
ing it and/or fully loading it again. The cool-
down time is significantly reduced when the
machine is running (no-load).
Restart protection
The built-in restart protection prevents the
power tool from starting up again automatically
if the power is disconnected when the on/off
switch is pressed. In this case, the power tool
must be switched off and then switched back on
again.
Due to the built-in restart protection, the power
tool cannot be switched on and off via an exter
nal switch module.

Changing tools
CAUTION
Risk of injury from hot and sharp insertion
tool
► Do not use any blunt or faulty insertion
tools.
► Wear protective gloves when handling an
insertion tool.
To change tools, place the power tool on its
side.
Inserting the tool
► Insert the routing tool into the open collet
as far as possible or at least up to the
mark
on the router shank.
► Turn the spindle until the spindle stop [1-6]
engages when pressing and the spindle
locks.
► Tighten the nut [1-5] using an open ended
spanner (WAF 19).
Removing the tool
► Turn the spindle until the spindle stop [1-6]
engages when pressing and the spindle
locks.
► Undo the nut [1-5] using an open ended
spanner (WAF 19) until you can feel resist
ance. Overcome the resistance by continu
ing to turn the open ended spanner.
► Remove the router.
8.3
Changing the collets
Collets are available for the following shaft di
ameters: 1/4" (6.35 mm); 5/16" (8 mm) (See
Festool catalogue or online at www.festool.com
for the order numbers)
► Completely unscrew the nut [1-5] and re
move it together with the collet.
► Only insert a new collet into the spindle if a
nut is fitted and engaged.
► Gently screw in the nut. Do not tighten the
nut if no cutter is inserted.
8.4
Setting the routing depth
The routing depth is set in three steps:
1. Set the zero point, see
.
2. Specify the routing depth, see
.
3. Clamp the routing depth, see
8.5
Setting the zero point
► Release the clamp lever [1-8] so that the
depth stop [1-3] can move freely.
► Position the router with the router ta
ble [1-1] on a level surface. Open the rotary
knob [1-7] and push the power tool down
wards until the cutter sits on the surface.
► Clamp the power tool in this position by
closing the rotary knob [1-7].
► Press the depth stop [1-3] against one of
the three fixed stops of the rotatable step
ped stop [1-2].
A hex key can be used to individually adjust the
height of each fixed stop.
► Push the indicator [1-10] downwards so
that it points to 0" (0 mm) on the scale.
If the zero position is incorrect, this can be
corrected using the screw on the indica
tor [1-10].
8.6
Specifying the routing depth
The required routing depth can be specified us
ing either quick depth adjustment or fine depth
adjustment.
Quick depth adjustment
► Pull the depth stop [1-3] upwards until the
indicator [1-10] points to the required rout
ing depth.
► Clamp the depth stop in this position using
the clamp lever [1-8].
Fine depth adjustment
► Clamp the depth stop using the clamp lev
er [1-8].
► Set the required routing depth by turning
the adjusting wheel [1-9].
Turning the adjusting wheel by a mark
changes the routing depth by 0.004"
(0.1 mm). A full rotation changes the rout
ing depth by 1/16" (1 mm). The maximum
adjustment range for the adjusting wheel
is 5/16" (8 mm).
