Clamping Collet Changing; Adjusting The Milling Depth; Working With The Router - Festool OF 1400 EQ Guide D'utilisation

Note: the spindle lock only blocks the motor spin-
dle in one direction of rotation at any one time.
Therefore when the nut is undone or tightened, the
wrench does not need to be offset but can be moved
back and forth like a ratchet.

Clamping collet changing

– Press the switch (6.1) for locking the spindle on
the left-hand side. Fully unscrew the nut (6.2) and
remove from spindle together with the clamping
collet.
– Press the switch (6.1) for locking the spindle on
the right-hand side. Insert a new clamping collet
with nut into the spindle and slightly tighten the
nut. Do not tighten the nut until a milling cutter
has been fi tted.

Adjusting the milling depth

The milling depth is adjusted in three stages:
a) Setting the zero point
7.1
7.2
7.3
7.4
7.5
7.6
– Open the clamping lever (7.7) so that the stop
cylinder (7.5) can move freely.
– Place the router with router table onto a smooth
surface. Open the rotary knob (7.4) and press the
machine down until the milling cutter rests on
the base. Clamp the machine tight in this position
with the rotary knob (7.4).
– Press the stop cylinder against one of the three
sensing stops of the pivoted turret stop (7.6).
– The individual height of each sensing stop can
be adjusted with a screwdriver.
Sensing stop
– Push the pointer (7.2) down so that it shows
0 mm on the scale (7.1).
If the base position is incorrect, this can be adjusted
with the screw (7.8) on the indicator.
b) Setting the milling depth
The desired milling depth can be set either with
the quick depth adjustment or with the fi ne depth
adjustment.
Quick depth adjustment:
– Pull the stop cylinder (7.5) up until the pointer shows
the desired milling depth. Clamp the stop cylin-
der in this position with the clamping lever (7.7).
Fine depth adjustment:
– Clamp the stop cylinder with the clamping lever
(7.7). Set the desired milling depth by turning the
adjusting wheel (7.3) in. Turn the adjusting wheel
to the next mark on the scale to adjust the milling
depth by 0.1 mm. One full turn adjusts the milling
depth by 1 mm. The maximum adjustment range
with the adjusting wheel is 8 mm.
7.8
c) Increasing the milling depth
– Open the rotary knob (7.4) and press the tool
down until the stop cylinder touches the sens-
ing stops.
– Clamp the machine in this position by tightening
7.7
the rotary knob (7.4).
