Routing With The Fs Guide System - Festool OF 1400 EQ-F Notice D'utilisation D'origine

– 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 [1-5] +
[1-11]. 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 [9].
9.1 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.
9.2 Routing with a parallel side fence
For work running parallel to the workpiece
edge, the supplied parallel side fence [4-9] can
be used.
► Clamp the two guide rods [4-2] to the paral­
lel side fence using the two rotary
knobs [4-4].
► Insert the guide rods into the grooves of the
router table to the required extent and
clamp them using the rotary knob [4-5].

Fine adjustment
► Open the rotary knob [4-6] to make a fine
adjustment using the adjusting wheel [4-8].
The scale ring [4-7] has a 0.004" (0.1 mm)
scale for this purpose. If the adjusting
wheel is held, the scale ring can be turned
separately so that it can be set to zero. The
scale [4-1] displays the adjustment in milli­
metres.
► Close the rotary knob [4-6] after making a
fine adjustment.
► Set the two guidance jaws [4-3] [5-1] so
that they are approx. 7/32" (5 mm) from the
cutter. To do this, loosen the screws [5-2]
and retighten them after making an adjust­
ment.
► As shown in figure [5], push the dust-ex­
traction attachment [5-4] from behind until
it engages on the parallel side fence.
An extractor hose with a diameter of
1-1/16" (27 mm) or 1-7/16" (36 mm)
should be connected at the extractor con­
nector [5-3].

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 [6-1] to the
4-5
router table using the guide rods [6-8] of
the parallel side fence.
► Secure the guide rail [6-3] to the workpiece
4-6
using fastening clamps [6-4].
Ensure that there is a safety distance X of
4-7
(see figure [6]) 7/32" (5 mm) between the
front edge of the guide rail and the cutter,
or the groove.
4-8
► Place the guide rail adapter on the guide
rail, as shown in figure [6]. To ensure that
4-9
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.
