Clamping the routing depth
► Open the rotary knob [1-7] and push the
power tool down until the depth stop touch
es the fixed stop.
► Clamp the power tool in this position by
closing the rotary knob [1-7].
8.8
Dust extraction
WARNING
Heath hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
CAUTION! If an anti-static suction hose is not
used, static charge may occur. The user may
receive an electric shock and the electronics of
the power tool may be damaged.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose
diameter of 1-7/16" (36 mm) or 1-1/16" (27 mm)
(1-7/16" (36 mm) recommended due to the re
duced risk of clogging) can be connected to the
extractor connector [1-15].
Chip catcher KSF-OF
KSF-OF chip catcher [3-1] (partly accessory)
consists of a hood and cover and can increase
the efficiency ot the extraction when routing
edges. Installation is similar to that of the copy
ing ring., the cover is attached at the top.
The hood can be cut off along the grooves [3-2]
using a hacksaw and can thus be reduced in
size. The chip catcher can then be used for inte
rior radiuses up to a minimum radius of 1-1/2"
(40 mm).

Working with the electric
power tool
When working on the machine, observe
all of the safety warnings that are listed
at the start as well as the following rules:
–
Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
–
Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
–
When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-7] +
[1-13]. This is a prerequisite for precise
work and is essential for plunge-cutting.
Plunge into the workpiece slowly and even
ly.
–
When routing, ensure that the power tool's
feed direction is the same as the tool's cut
ting direction, see figure [4].

Freehand routing
Freehand routing is the method normally used
for lettering or shapes, and for routing edges
using cutters with a guide pin or ring.
9.2
Routing with a parallel side fence
For work running parallel to the workpiece
edge, the supplied parallel side fence [5-4] can
be used.
WARNING
Risk of injury
Upon installation on the wrong side, the
router may touch the parallel side fence.
► Only install the parallel side fence on the
side of the power tool depicted in the im
age [5].
► Clamp the two guide rods [5-7] to the paral
lel side fence using the two rotary
knobs [5-2].
► Insert the guide rods into the grooves of the
router table to the required extent and
clamp them using the rotary knob [5-3].
