c) Preparing the router (see 5.3)
Caution: Always unplug the tool from the mains before chang-
ing cutters!
• Clamp the cutter (see Table 1) in the router’s clamping collet.
• 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 routing depth as follows:
The depth of the holes in the horizontal workpiece should be
2/3 of the workpiece thickness. The depth of the holes in the
vertical workpiece should be set so that the depth of both holes
together is around 2 mm greater than the length of the dowel
(see. Figure 24).
• Connect the router to a suitable dust extractor from dust class
“M” (e. g. Festool CLEANTEX CTM).
d) Processing
First rout the holes in the horizontal workpiece (23.1). The swivel
segment must be in the rear position (see Figure 21). Then swivel
the swivel segment into the front position to rout the holes on the
vertical workpiece (23.2).
Note: Only open clamping lever (21.2), not clamping lever (21.1)
to adjust the height of the template, when swivelling the swivel
segments.
• Place the router on the template so that the collar of the starting
ring engages in the bore holes of the template.
• Switch the router on and push the tool down to the preset routing
depth. Rout all holes in sequence.
• Unclamp the workpieces and fi t together. If the dowel joint does
not fi t exactly carry out the following corrections:
° The vertical workpiece is set back (24.1):
Turn adjusting wheels (23.3) in the minus direction by the faulty
(1 scale graduation mark corresponds to – 0.1 mm dovetail
depth), replace and realign template according to Chapter 6.3
a).
° The vertical workpiece is set back (24.2):
Turn adjusting wheels (23.3) in the plus direction by the faulty
(1 scale graduation mark corresponds to + 0.1 mm dovetail
depth), replace and realign template according to Chapter
6.3 a).
Note: In order to adjust the adjusting wheels the screws (23.4)
have to be opened and retightened after adjustment. This locks
the preset position for later working.
6.4 Open dovetail tenons
With open dovetail tenons, the dovetail must fi rst be routed thor-
oughly using templates SZO 14 S or SZO 20 S, and the tenon must
then be cut using templates SZO 14 Z or SZO 20 Z.
