Fine Adjustment of the Depth-of-cut
(POF 1100 AE)
With the step buffer 11, up to three different rout-
ing depths can be preset. Adjustment is carried
out according to the previously described proce-
dure, with the difference that by screwing in or out
the screws for the step buffer 21, the height clear-
ance of the stops, in reference to each other, can
be changed.
Usage of the Step Buffer
a) Dividing the cutting procedure in several
steps
For deep cuts, it is recommended to carry out
several cuts, each with less material removal. By
using the step buffer 11, the cutting process can
be divided into several steps.
Set the required depth-of-cut with the lowest step
of the step buffer. Afterwards, the higher steps
can be used for the first two cuts.
b) Pre-adjustment of varying depth-of-cuts
If several different depth-of-cuts are required for
the machining of a workpiece, these can also be
pre-adjusted by using the step buffer 11.
Operating Instructions
Direction of Feed
Routing Process
Adjust the depth-of-cut as previously described.
Place the router on the workpiece and switch on.
Release the clamping lever 3 by turning in clock-
wise direction and slowly lower the router until the
depth stop 6 runs against the workpiece. Lock
the router in position by turning the clamping le-
ver 3 in anticlockwise direction. Cary out the cut-
ting procedure with uniform feed.
After finishing the cutting process, slide the router
upwards again and switch off.

Routing with Guide Bushing
The guide bushing 29 enables template and pat-
tern routing on workpieces.
Inserting guide bushing 29 (see figure
Insert guide bushing 29 in the bottom of the guide
plate 13 by actuating the locking lever 10. Ensure
that the encoding keys clearly engage in the
grooves of the guide bushing.
Routing Process (see figure
Set the router with guide bushing 29 against the
template. Release the clamping lever 3 by turn-
ing in clockwise direction and slowly lower the
router toward the workpiece until the adjusted
depth-of-cut is reached.
Guide router with projecting guide bushing along
the template, applying light sideward pressure.
Note: The template must have a minimum thick-
ness of 8 mm, due to the projecting height of the
guide bushing.
Routing with Guide Rail (see figure
Fasten a suitable guide rail with an appropriate
clamping device (screw clamp) to the workpiece.
Guide the flattened side of the guide plate along
the guide rail.

E
Choose a router bit with a smaller diam-
eter than the inner diameter of the guide
bushing.
To avoid the router from "running off" of the
guide rail, it is important that the router is
led as shown.
