Dust extraction

WARNING
Heath hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
CAUTION! If an anti-static suction hose is not
used, static charge may occur. The user may
receive an electric shock and the electronics of
the power tool may be damaged.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose
diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm recom­
mended due to the reduced risk of clogging)
can be connected to the extractor connec­
tor [1-15].
Chip catcher KSF-OF
KSF-OF chip catcher [3-1] (partly accessory)
consists of a hood and cover and can increase
the efficiency ot the extraction when routing
edges. Installation is similar to that of the copy­
ing ring., the cover is attached at the top.
The hood can be cut off along the grooves [3-2]
using a hacksaw and can thus be reduced in
size. The chip catcher can then be used for inte­
rior radiuses up to a minimum radius of 40 mm.
8 Working with the electric
power tool
When working on the machine, observe
all of the safety warnings that are listed
at the start as well as the following rules:
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
– When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-7] +
[1-13]. This is a prerequisite for precise
work and is essential for plunge-cutting.
Plunge into the workpiece slowly and even­
ly.
– When routing, ensure that the power tool's
feed direction is the same as the tool's cut­
ting direction, see figure [5].
8.1

Freehand routing

Freehand routing is the method normally used
for lettering or shapes, and for routing edges
using cutters with a guide pin or ring.
8.2 Routing with a parallel side fence
For work running parallel to the workpiece
edge, the supplied parallel side fence [6-4] can
be used.
WARNING
Risk of injury
Upon installation on the wrong side, the
router may touch the parallel side fence.
► Only install the parallel side fence on the
side of the power tool depicted in the im­
age [6].
► Clamp the two guide rods [6-7] to the paral­
lel side fence using the two rotary
knobs [6-2].
► Insert the guide rods into the grooves of the
router table to the required extent and
clamp them using the rotary knob [6-3].
This distance can be adjusted faster and more
precisely with the fine precision adjust­
ment [6-6] available as an accessory:
► Turn the adjusting screw [6-5] in the plastic
part of the guide.
► Clamp the guide rods with the rotating
knobs [6-1] in the precision adjustment.
► Loosen the rotating knobs [6-2] of the par­
allel guide.
► Set the desired distance with the adjusting
screw and retighten the rotating knobs.
For better extraxtion, a special suction
hood is available as an accessory for the
side stop.
8.3

Routing with the FS guide system

The guide system (available as an accessory)
makes it easier to route straight grooves.
► Secure the guide rail adapter [7-4] to the
router table using the guide rods [7-3] of
the parallel side fence.
► Secure the guide rail [7-6] to the workpiece
using fastening clamps [7-7].
Ensure that there is a safety distance X of
(see figure [7]) 5 mm between the front
edge of the guide rail and the cutter, or the
groove.
► Place the guide rail adapter on the guide
rail, as shown in figure [7]. To ensure that
the router stop can be guided without play,
use a screwdriver through the top open­
ings [7-5] on the side to adjust the two
guidance jaws.
► Tighten the height-adjustable support [7-2]
on the threaded hole of the router table so
