Dust extraction

Breathing in dust can dam-
age the respiratory passage! Always con-
nect the machine to a dust extractor. When
performing work that generates dust, always
wear a dust mask.
Extraction hoods are supplied for both router
tables; a Festool extractor (extractor hose
with a diameter of 27 mm) can be connected
to these extraction hoods.
The dust extractor (extractor hose with dia.
27 mm) can also be attached to the "large
surface router table" or the side stop depend-
ing on the application.

– Insert the side stop into the grooves on the
router table to the required distance and
secure the guide rods by turning the rotary
knob [9-1].
Rough adjustment
– Loosen the screws [9-2] and [9-4] and slide
the side stop.
– Tighten the screws.
Fine adjustment
– Loosen the screws [9-2] and turn the green
wheel on the fi ne adjuster [9-3].
The distance between each line on the ro-
tary wheel is 0.1 mm - one full turn of the
ring represents 1 mm.
– Tighten the screws [9-2].
