Constant speed

The preselected motor speed remains constant 

through electronic control. This ensures a uni-

form cutting speed even when under strain.

Temperature cut-out

To protect against overheating (burning out of 

motor), an electronic temperature monitoring 

system has been installed. Prior to reaching a 

critical motor temperature, the safety electronics 

switches off the motor. After a cooling time of ap-

prox. 3-5 minutes, the machine can be operated 

again at full load. The machine requires less time 

to cool down if it is running, i.e. in neutral. 

Brake 

The OF 2200 EB has an electronic brake, which 

stops the spindle within a few seconds of the ma-

chine switching off. 

7.2 Changing tools 

 WARNING 

Risk of accident - the routing tool may be hot 

after use and has sharp edges. 



Allow the tool to cool before changing.  



Wear protective gloves when changing tools. 

NOTE

Switch off the machine before pressing the rocker 

for the spindle lock [3.1].

We recommend turning the machine on its side to 

change the tool.

a)   Inserting the tool



Insert the routing tool [3.4/3a.1]] into the open 

clamping collet as far as possible, but at least 

up to the mark 

 on the shank [3a.2]. If the 

collet is not visible because it is blocked by the 

union nut [3a.3], the milling tool must be insert-

ed into the collet at least far enough that the 

marker 

 no longer overlaps with the union 

nut.



Press the rocker [3.1] for the spindle lock to 

side B. 



Tighten the locking nut [3.3] using an open-end 

wrench (size 24).



The rocker only blocks the motor spindle in 

one direction of rotation at any one time. 

Therefore when the locking nut is undone or 

tightened, the wrench does not need to be 

offset but can be moved back and forth like a 

ratchet. 

b)  Removing the tool



Slide the chip guard [3.2] upwards until it en-

gages, if necessary. 



Press the rocker [3.1] for the spindle lock to 

side A. 



Unscrew the locking nut [3.3] using an open-

end wrench (size 24) until you are able to re-

move the tool. 

7.3   Changing the clamping collet



If necessary, slide the chip guard [4.2] upwards 

until it engages. 



Press the rocker [4.1] for the spindle lock to 

side A. 



Unscrew the locking nut [4.3] completely. 



Remove the locking nut from the spindle to-

gether with the clamping collet [4.4]. Do not 

separate the locking nut and clamping collet as 

these form a single component. 



Only insert a new clamping collet in the spin-

dle when the nut is attached and engaged, then 

tighten the nut slightly. Do not tighten the lock-

ing nut until a router bit is inserted. 

7.4   Adjusting the routing depth

The depth is adjusted in two steps:

a)   Setting the zero point 



Place the router on an even surface (reference 

surface). 



Open the clamping lever [5.2]. 



Unscrew the rotary knob [5.1]. 



Push the machine downwards until the router 

bit rests on the surface (reference surface).
