Push the machine down as far as pos-

sible.

ening the rotary knob [13.1].

Machine guidance methods

a) Routing with side stop
The side stop (partly as an accessory) is po-

sitioned parallel to the workpiece edge.

Secure both guide rods [15.4] with the two

rotary knobs [15.2] 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

[15.1].

Fine adjustment

Unscrew the rotary knob [15.7] to make

fi ne adjustments with the adjusting wheel

[15.5]. The dial ring [15.6] has a 0.1 mm

scale for this purpose. If the adjusting

wheel is held secure, the dial ring can be

turned separately and set to "Zero". The






millimetre scale [15.3] on the main casing

is useful for making larger adjustments.
Tighten the rotary knob [15.7] again after

completing any fi ne adjustments.

16.1

Adjust both guidance jaws [16.3] so that

they are approx. 5 mm from the router bit.

To do this, undo screws [16.2] and tighten

again after completing the adjustments.
Only when routing along an edge: slide

the extractor hood [16.1] until it latches

into position on the side stop and connect

an extraction hose 27 mm or 36 mm in

diameter to the extractor connector [16.4].

Alternatively, leave the machine to extract

the dust via the extractor connector.

b) Copy routing
When routing with templates, fi t an integrated

copying ring to the router (accessory).

Note:

Copying rings can be used in combination

with the standard base runner. A special

base runner is available as an accessory to

improve the contact surface.

An excessively large routing

tool may damage the copying ring and

cause accidents. Make sure that the routing

tool used fi ts through the opening on the

copying ring.
