Dust extraction

Breathing in dust can dam-

age the respiratory passage! Always con-

nect the machine to a dust extractor. When

performing work that generates dust, always

wear a dust mask.
Extraction hoods are supplied for both router

tables; a Festool extractor (extractor hose

with a diameter of 27 mm) can be connected

to these extraction hoods.
The dust extractor (extractor hose with dia.

27 mm) can also be attached to the “large

surface router table” or the side stop depend-

ing on the application.

Working with

the machine

Always hold the machine

with both hands during working.

Always secure the workpiece

in such a manner that it cannot move

while being routed.

Guide the machine along the workpiece at

f

a steady rate of advance.

Machine guidance methods
