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 [6-1] to the
router table using the guide rods [6-8] of
the parallel side fence.
► Secure the guide rail [6-3] to the workpiece
using fastening clamps [6-4].
Ensure that there is a safety distance X of
(see figure [6]) 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 [6]. To ensure that
the router stop can be guided without play,
use a screwdriver through the top open
ings [6-2] on the side to adjust the two
guidance jaws.
► Tighten the height-adjustable support [6-6]
on the threaded hole of the router table so
that the underside of the router table is par
allel to the workpiece surface.
When working with marking-up lines, the
marks on the platen [6-5] and the scale on the
support [6-6] show the centre axis of the cutter.
Fine adjuster
The fine adjuster (available as an accesso
ry, [7-5]) can be used to precisely adjust dis
tance X.
► Install the fine adjuster [7-5] on the guide
rods between the power tool and the guide
rail adapter [7-4].
► Insert the adjusting wheel [7-2] into the
guide rail adapter, as shown in the fig
ure [7].
► Screw the adjusting wheel [7-2] into the
nuts of the fine adjuster.
To adjust distance X:
► Open the rotary knob [7-1] for the guide rail
adapter and close the rotary knob [7-3] for
the fine adjuster.
► Adjust to required distance X by turning the
adjusting wheel [7-2].
► Close the rotary knob [7-1] for the guide
rail adapter.

Copy cutting
A copying ring or the copying device is used to
exactly reproduce existing workpieces (acces
sories).

Copying ring
When choosing the size of the copying ring, en
sure that the cutter being used fits through its
opening.
Excess Y (figure [9]) of the workpiece to the
template is calculated as follows:
Y = (copying ring diameter - cutter diameter)/2
► Attach the copying ring [8-1] to the router
table: Insert the two tenons [8-2] into the
recesses [8-3].
► To remove the copying ring: Press the two
buttons [1-16] inwards at the same time.
Copying device
The copying device requires the angle arm WA-
OF [10-2] and the copier scanning set KT-OF,
consisting of a roller support [10-6] and three
copying rollers [10-7].
► Use the rotary knob [10-3] to tighten the
angle arm to the required height on the
threaded hole [10-1].
► Fit a copying roller to the roller support and
use the rotary knob [10-5] to tighten it on
the angle arm. Make sure that the copying
roller and the router have the same diame
ter.
► The distance between the feeler roller and
the cutter axis can be adjusted by turning
the adjusting wheel [10-4].
