English
Turning the adjusting wheel by a mark
changes the routing depth by 0.1 mm. A
full rotation changes the routing depth by
1 mm.
The scale ring [6-7] can be turned sepa
rately so that it can be set to zero.
The three marks [6-4] on the edge [6-5]
indicate the maximum adjustment range
of the adjusting wheel (20 mm) and the
middle position.

Rough/Precision routing
Fixed stop C has two stop planes with a height
difference of 2 mm. This allows users to route
workpieces with a routing depth set using
stop C in two steps:
Rough routing
► Lower the power tool to stop plane [7-1].
Finishing routing
► Lower the power tool to stop plane [7-2].
Routing work can be performed as quickly
as with a large routing depth while still
producing a good surface quality. The final
routing depth is determined by the stop
plane setting [7-2].

Fine adjustment for edge trimming
The power tool has a special fine adjuster for
using cutters with a ball bearing guide. For ex
ample, this makes it quick and easy to set a
precise transition when rounding edges without
a ridge, see figure [8].
Setting a precise routing depth
► First of all, roughly set the routing depth.
► Carry out a test rout.
► Open the clamping lever [9-2].
► Press the depth stop [9-3] against fixed
stop C [9-5].
► Clamp the depth stop to the turret stop us
ing the eccentric [9-4] (turn clockwise).
► Close the clamping lever [9-2].
► Open the rotary knob [9-1].
► Precisely adjust the routing depth by turn
ing the adjusting wheel [9-6].
It is possible to adjust the routing depth in
both directions thanks to the coupling be
tween the depth stop and the turret stop.
► Close the rotary knob [9-1].
► Open the eccentric [9-4] (turn anticlock
wise).
► If necessary, carry out additional test routs
and adjust the settings.

Dust extraction
WARNING
Health hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Only work with a fully functional chip
guard [10-2].
► Always wear a dust mask when performing
work that generates dust.
► Comply with national regulations.
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 [10-4].
Insert the extractor connector [10-4] as in im
age [10]. The extractor connector can be turned
in the area of [10-3].
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.
Chip guard
The chip guard [10-2] can be engaged in an up
per position, e.g. for cutter changes.
► Slide the chip guard upwards until it engag
es or push the power tool downwards until
it reaches the limit stop.
To improve the efficiency of the dust extraction,
lower the chip guard while working.
► Press the lever [10-1] in the direction of the
handle.
Chip deflector KSF-OF
The chip deflector KSF-OF [11-1] (available as
an accessory depending on the model) can im
prove the efficiency of the dust extraction sys
tem when edge routing. The maximum cutter
diameter is 78 mm.
The chip deflector is installed in the same way
as inserting the copying ring, see section 8.3.
A hacksaw can be used to cut along the
grooves [11-2] of the guard and therefore make
it smaller. The chip deflector can then be used
for inner radii down to a minimum radius of
52 mm.
