Routing with Guide Bushing
(see figures H1–H3)
The guide bushing 16 enables template and pat-
tern routing on workpieces.
Choose a suitable guide bushing, depending on
the thickness of the template or the pattern. Be-
cause of the projecting height of the guide bush-
ing, the template must have a minimum thick-
ness of 8 mm. (see figure H1)
Select a router bit with a diameter smaller
than the interior diameter of the guide
bushing.
– Unscrew the four pan head screws on the
bottom side of the guide plate 6 and remove
the guide plate.
–
Insert the guide bushing 16 into the guide
plate. (see figure H2)
– Screw the guide plate loosely onto the base
plate 7 again. The guide plate must be able to
move freely.
To ensure that the distance from router bit cen-
tre and guide bushing edge is uniform, the guide
bushing and the guide plate must be adjusted to
each other, if required.
– Align the guide plate in such a manner that
router bit and guide bushing are centred to
the guide plate opening. (see figure H3)
– Hold the guide plate in this position and
tighten the fastening screws.
For routing with the guide bushing 16 proceed
as follows:
– Place the machine with the guide bushing 16
against the template.
– Guide the switched on power tool with the
protruding guide bushing alongside the tem-
plate applying lateral pressure.

Shaping or Molding Applications (see figure I)
For shaping or molding applications without the
use of a parallel guide, the router bit must be
equipped with a pilot or a ball bearing.

Routing with Roller Guide (see figure L)
The roller guide 20 is used for routing edges
with router bits without pilot or ball bearing.
– Fasten the roller guide 2 to the routing base

Lateral Clearance: In order to change the
amount of material removal, the lateral clear-
ance between workpiece and the guide roller 21
of the roller guide 20 can be adjusted.

Height: Adjust the vertical alignment of the roll-
er guide depending on the router bit in use and
