Procedure



Lay the machine on its side on a stable base. 



Open the lever [14.4]. 



Remove the base runner [14.1].



Release the lever [14.4] again. 



Insert a copying ring [14.3] in the correct posi-

tion on the router base. 



Insert the tabs [14.2] on a base runner into the 

router base. 



Push down the base runner until it engages in 

the router base.  

The overhang Y of the workpiece in relation the 

template [Fig. 15] is calculated as follows:

Y = ½ (diameter of copying ring minus diameter of 

routing bit) 

c)   Edge trimming 

Routing tools with a bearing guide are required 

when the machine is used for edge trimming. The 

machine is then guided in such a way that the 

bearing guide rolls off the workpiece. 

When trimming edges, always use the chip defl ec-

tor KSF-OF to improve dust extraction. 

d)   Routing with a guide system FS 

The guide system (partly as an accessory) makes 

it easier to route straight grooves.



Secure the guide rail to the workpiece using 

clamps [16.4]. 



Insert the base runner [16.3] for the guide stop 

into the router base (see "Changing the base 

runner"). 



This base runner is offset to compensate for 

the height of the guide rail. 



Secure both guide rods [16.6] with the rotary 

knobs [16.5] and [16.9] on the guide stop. 



Unscrew the rotary knob [16.1]. 



Insert the guide rods [16.6] into the grooves on 

the router base. 



Place the router with the guide stop on the 

guide rail.



If required, you can adjust the play of the guide 

stop on the guide rail by adjusting the two guid-

ance jaws [16.2] with a screwdriver.



Slide the router along the guide rods until the 

routing tool reaches the required distance X 

from the guide rail. 



Screw up the rotary knob [16.1]. 



Unscrew the rotary knob [16.10]. 



Turn the adjusting wheel [16.7] to adjust dis-

tance X more precisely. 



Hold the adjusting wheel [16.7] to turn the 

scale [16.8] independently to "zero". 



Screw up the rotary knob [16.10].



Release the lever [14.4] again. 



Insert the tabs [14.2] on a base runner into the 

router base. 



Push down the base runner until it engages in 

the router base.  

Before using the base runner: remove the protec-

tive foil!

8.3   Aluminium processing

 WARNING

Risk of accident - always perform the following 

safety measures when routing aluminium:



Add a residual-current circuit-breaker (FI, 

PRCD).
