Preparing the router (see 5.3)
Caution: Always unplug the tool from the mains
before changing cutters!
• Clamp the cutter (see Table 1) in the router's clamping
collet.
• Set the zero point (routing depth = 0 mm) on your
router by placing the tool on the template and pushing
down until the cutter touches the surface of the of the
clamped workpiece.
• Set the workpiece thickness as the routing depth on
your router.
Caution: The routing depth should not be greater than
the cutter diameter. Instead, divided the cutting depth
up into two or more operating stages.
• When routing joints use the extractor hood for the
router's side stop or the extractor hood AH-OF 900
(accessory, order no. 484 453). Connect the extractor
hood to a suitable dust extractor from dust class "M"
(e.g. Festool CTM dust extractor).
Note: set the gap between the extractor hood and
vertical workpiece so that you still have enough travel
to rout the dovetails.
d)
Processing
• Place the router on the end of the template so that
the collar (18.1) of the starting ring rests against the
template.
• Press the tool down to the pre-set routing depth and
lock the routing depth on the router.
• Switch the router on.
• Guide the router evenly along the template (Figure
19).
Caution: The collar of the starting ring must always
rest against the. Always hold the router by both handles
parallel to the template and do not turn the tool during
routing. The routing depth may not be changed during
routing.
• Check the depth of the slots before unclamping the
workpiece. If they are not correct, reduce or increase the
routing depth at your router by the faulty dimension.
