Adjusting The Milling Depth; Dust Extraction; Aluminium Processing - Festool OF 1010 Q Notice D'utilisation D'origine

5.3 How to change the clamping collet
Clamping collets are available for following shank
diameters: 6.0 mm, 6.35 mm, 8 mm (order num-
bers see Festool catalogue or Internet „www.
festool.com".
- Fully unscrew the nut (1.13) and remove from
spindle together with the clamping collet.
- Insert a new clamping collet with nut into the
spindle and slightly tighten the nut. Do not
tighten the nut until a milling cutter has been
fi tted.

Adjusting the milling depth

The milling depth is adjusted in three stages:
a) Setting the zero point
- Open the clamping lever (1.6) so that the stop
cylinder (1.7) can move freely.
- Place the router with router table (1.11) onto a
smooth surface. Open the rotary knob (1.15) and
press the machine down until the milling cutter
rests on the base.
- Clamp the machine in this position by tightening
the rotary knob (1.15).
- Press the stop cylinder against one of the three
sensing stops of the pivoted turret stop (1.9).
The individual height of each sensing stop can be
adjusted with a screwdriver:
Sensing stop
A
B
C
- Push the pointer (1.4) down so that it shows 0
mm on the scale (1.5).
b) Setting the milling depth
The desired milling depth can be set either with
the quick depth adjustment or with the fi ne depth
adjustment.
• Quick depth adjustment: Pull the stop cylinder
(1.7) up until the pointer shows the desired
milling depth. Clamp the stop cylinder in this
position with the clamping lever (1.6).
• Fine depth adjustment: Clamp the stop cyl-
inder with the clamping lever (1.6). Set the
desired milling depth by turning the adjusting
wheel (1.3) in. Turn the adjusting wheel to the
next mark on the scale to adjust the milling
depth by 0.1 mm. One full turn adjusts the
milling depth by 1 mm. The maximum adjust-
ment range with the adjusting wheel is 8 mm.
min. height/max. height
38 mm/44 mm
44 mm/54 mm
54 mm/67 mm
c) Increasing the milling depth
- Open the rotary knob (1.15) and press the tool
down until the stop cylinder touches the sensing
stops.
- Clamp the machine in this position by tightening
the rotary knob (1.15).

Dust extraction

Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor. A connection for extracting dust
and chips (1.8) is a standard feature on
the routers.
At the same time a chip guard (2.2) on the side
stop prevents fl ying chips.
With edge routing, the best extraction effect is
obtained with the extractor hood AH-OF, available
as an accessory.
KSF-OF chip catcher
Using the KSF-OF chip catcher (9.1) (sometimes
included in the scope of delivery), the effi ciency
of the extraction can be increased when routing
edges. Installation is similar to that of the copy-
ing ring.
The hood can be cut off along the grooves (9.2)
using a hacksaw and can thus be reduced in size.
The chip catcher can then be used for interior
radiuses up to a minimum radius of 40 mm.
6 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
The machine must always be held with
both hands by the designated handles
(1.15, 1.17).
Always advance the router in the direction op-
posite to the direction of rotation of the cutter
(counter-routing)!
When routing (ensure feed direction of power tool
is the same as cutting direction of tool, Fig. 5).

Aluminium processing

When processing aluminium, the follow-
ing measures must be taken for safety
reasons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker
(FI, PRCD).
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust extrac-
tor.
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
