Chips extraction

4.1
4.2
Chips and dust from routing can be removed by
means of a extractor hood. See-through plastic
material gives good view of rotating tool. You can
connect a Festool extractor with an extractor hose
diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm to the extractor con-
nector (4.6). We recommend a diameter of 36 mm
because it minimises the risk of blockages.
– Fit the extractor hood to the router base by fi rst
inserting the two tenons (4.1) on the extractor
hood into the recesses (4.2) on the router base,
then place the extractor hood on the router base
and close the lever (4.5). To enable fi tting and
removing the extractor hood with the router
attached, the recess (4.3) in the extractor hood
can be opened by turning the segment (4.4). For
optimised dust extraction, the recess with the
rotating segment must be closed during work.
This suction hood can be used only
for cutters up to 28 mm diameter.
Chip catcher KSF-OF
Using the KSF-OF chip catcher (5.1) (sometimes
included in the scope of delivery), the effi ciency of
the extraction can be increased when routing edges.

Installation is similar to that of the copying ring
(see fi g. 12).
The hood can be cut off along the grooves (5.2) us-
ing a hacksaw and can thus be reduced in size. The
chip catcher can then be used for interior radiuses
up to a minimum radius of 40 mm.

You can turn the machine upside down when chang-

Inserting the tool
– Insert the router (6.3/6a.1) into the open clamp-
ing collet (6a.2) as far as possible, but at least up
to the mark
is not visible because it is blocked by the union
nut (6a.3), the milling tool must be inserted into
the collet at least far enough that the marker
no longer overlaps with the union nut.
– Press the switch (6.1) for locking the spindle on
the right-hand side (A).
– Tighten the locking nut (6.2) with a 24 mm open-
end spanner.
