The parallel guide (accessory) can be used
for routing parallel to the edge of the work-
piece.
Secure both guide rods (9.2) with the two
rotary knobs (9.3) 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 (9.4).
Fine adjustment:
Unscrew the rotary knob (9.5) to make fi ne
adjustments with the adjusting wheel (9.7).
The scale ring (9.6) 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 millime-
tre scale (9.1) on the main casing is useful
when making larger adjustments. Tighten
the rotary knob (9.5) again on completion
of any fi ne adjustments.
Adjust both guidance jaws (9.8) so that
they are approx. 5 mm from the router. To
do this, undo screws (9.9) and tighten again
after completing the adjustments.
Slide the extractor hood (9.10) from behind
until it latches into place on the side stop.
You can connect an extractor hose with a
diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm to the extrac-
tor connector (9.11).

Place the guide stop onto the guide rail as
shown in Fig. 10. To ensure a backlash-
free guidance of the router stop you can
adjust two guide cheeks with a screwdriver
through the side openings (10.2).
Screw the height-adjustable support (10.5)
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 (10.4) and the scale on
the support (10.5) show the centre axis of
the cutter.
