b) Clamping workpieces
Always clamp the two workpieces which are to be jointed simul-
taneously.
Pay attention to the following during this work (see Figure 10):
• Clamp the workpieces so that the faces which are to be joined
lie against one another.
• The sides of the workpieces must rest against the stop.
• The tops of the workpieces must be fl ush with one another.
• The outer sides in the clamped position (a1 - a4) form the inner
sides of the fi nished joint.
• In the case of frames (carcasses) the workpieces for the corners
“A” must be placed against the left stop and the corners “B”
against the right stop. The workpieces “1” and “3” must always
be clamped on top, the workpieces “2 and “4” always at the front
of the jointing system.
c) Preparing the router (see 5.3)
Caution: Always unplug the tool from the mains before chang-
ing cutters!
• Clamp the cutter (see Table T2) in the router’s clamping col-
let.
• Set the zero point (routing depth = 0 mm) on your router by plac-
ing the tool on the template and pushing down until the cutter
touches the surface of the of the clamped workpiece.
• Set the following routing depth on your router
(Caution: these dimensions only apply for the cutters named in
Table T2):
SZ 14: 12 mm,
SZ 20: 15 mm.
• When routing joints use the extractor hood for the router’s side
stop or the extractor hood AH-OF (accessory). Connect the
extractor hood to a suitable dust extractor from dust class “M”
(e.g. Festool CLEANTEX CTM).
Note: set the gap between the extractor hood and vertical work-
piece so that you still have enough travel to rout the dovetails.
d) Processing
Scoring
In order to avoid splintering in vertically clamped workpieces their
surface should be scored:
• Place a strip whose width is the width of the workpiece +33 mm
(11.1) on the template mount. This strip serves as a guide for
the router.
• Place the router on the workpiece to the right of the template so
that the guide surface (11.2) of the router’s table rests against
the strip.
• Press the tool down to the preset routing depth and lock the
routing depth on the router.
• Switch the router on.
• Guide the router from right to left along the strip and thus syn-
chronously score the workpiece.
