Chip guard
The chip guard [10.2] can be moved to the top po-
sition to change the router bit, for example. Slide
the chip guard upwards until it engages or push
the machine down as far as possible.
We recommend lowering the chip guard before
starting work to improve the effi ciency of the ex-
traction system. Push the lever [10.1] towards the
handle to do this.
KSF-OF chip defl ector
The chip defl ector KSF-OF [11.1] indirectly in-
creases the effi ciency of the extraction system
during edge routing. The maximum possible rout-
ing diameter is 78 mm.
The defl ector is fi tted in a similar way to the copy-
ing ring (see "Copy routing").
The hood can be cut off along the grooves [11.2]
using a hacksaw and can thus be reduced in size.
The chip defl ector can then be used for interior
radiuses up to a minimum radius of 52 mm.
8 Operation
WARNING
Risk of accident - read the following instruc-
tions:
Always secure the workpiece in such a man-
ner that it cannot move while being routed.
Always hold the machine with both hands and
by the handles [2.4] available.
Always switch on the router before bring-
ing the router bit into contact with the work-
piece!
Before starting work, make sure that the
clamp lever [1.6] is closed and the eccenter
[1.7] is open.
Always ensure that the cutting power of the
machine works against the feed direction of
the machine (up-cut routing).
Procedure
Preset the required routing depth.
Switch on the machine.
Unscrew the rotary knob [1.3].
Push the machine down as far as possible.
Clamp the machine in this position by tighten-
ing the rotary knob [1.3].
Perform the routing task.
Unscrew the rotary knob [1.3].
Move the machine slowly upwards to the stop.
Switch off the machine.
8.1 Machine guidance methods
a) Routing with side stop
The side stop (partly as an accessory) is positioned
parallel to the workpiece edge.
Secure both guide rods [12.4] with the two rotary
knobs [12.2] 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 [12.1].
Fine adjustment
Unscrew the rotary knob [12.7] to make fi ne
adjustments with the adjusting wheel [12.5].
The dial ring [12.6] has a 0.1 mm scale for this
purpose. If the adjusting wheel is held secure,
the dial ring can be turned separately and set to
"Zero". The millimetre scale [12.3] on the main
casing is useful for making larger adjustments.
Tighten the rotary knob [12.7] again after com-
pleting any fi ne adjustments.
Adjust both guidance jaws [13.3] so that they
are approx. 5 mm from the router bit. To do this,
undo screws [13.2] and tighten again after com-
pleting the adjustments.
Only when routing along an edge: slide the ex-
tractor hood [13.1] until it latches into position
on the side stop and connect an extraction hose
27 mm or 36 mm in diameter to the extractor
connector [13.4]. Alternatively, leave the machine
to extract the dust via the extractor connector.
b) Copy routing
When routing with templates, fi t an integrated cop-
ying ring to the router (accessory).

Copying rings can be used in combination with
the standard base runner. A special base run-
ner is available as an accessory to improve the
contact surface.
CAUTION
An excessively large routing tool may damage
the copying ring and cause accidents.
Make sure that the routing tool used fi ts through
the opening on the copying ring.
