Trial routing of the dovetails
Perform a trial routing to check whether all settings are cor-
rect.
• Place the router on the end of the template so that the collar
(31.1) of the starting ring rests against the template.
• Press the tool down to the preset routing depth and lock the
routing depth on the router.
• Switch the router on.
• Guide the router evenly along the template (Figure 32).
Caution: The collar of the starting ring must always rest against
the. Always hold the router by both handles parallel to the tem-
plate and do not turn the tool during routing.
The routing depth may not be changed during routing.
• Unclamp the workpiece and place it together with a workpiece
with dovetails. If the joints do not fi t exactly together, the fol-
lowing corrections should be made:
° The joints are too tight (33.1):
Turn the adjustment wheels towards plus.
° The joints are too loose (33.2):
Turn the adjustment wheels towards minus.
° The joints are too deep (33.3):
Slightly reduce the routing depth on the router using the
router’s precision adjustment feature.
° The joints are not deep enough (33.4):
Slightly increase the routing depth on the router using the
router’s precision adjustment feature.
Note: In order to adjust the adjusting wheels the screws (34.1)
have to be opened and retightened after adjustment. This locks
the preset position for later working.
• Repeat this procedure until the joint fi ts exactly.
Routing the dovetails
Rout all dovetails analogous to the trial routing.
