Routing With The Sz-Of 1000 Beam Compasses; Copy Cutting - Festool OF 1010 Q Notice D'utilisation D'origine

Wear protective goggles.
6.2 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.
6.3 Routing with the parallel guide
The parallel guide (3.2) supplied can be used for
routing parallel to the edge of the workpiece (not
supplied with „Module 5A):
- Secure both guide rods (3.7) with the two rotary
knobs (3.3) on the side stop.
- Insert the guide rods into the grooves (1.10) on
the router base to the required distance and
secure them by turning the rotary knob (3.1).
This distance can be adjusted faster and more
precisely with the fi ne precision adjustment (3.6),
available as an accessory:
- Turn the adjusting screw (3.4) in the plastic part
of the guide,
- clamp the guide rods with the rotating knobs
(3.5) in the precision adjustment,
- loosen the rotating knobs (3.3) of the parallel
guide,
- set the desired distance with the adjusting screw
and retighten the rotating knobs.
6.4 Routing with the TV-OF extension table
The extension table TV-OF, available as an acces-
sory, can be used to enlarge the support area of
the router and thus improve guidance, e.g. when
routing close to edges.
The extension table is fi tted in the same way as
the parallel guide.
6.5 Routing with the FS guide system
The guide system, available as an accessory, fa-
cilitates routing straight grooves.
- Fasten the guide stop (4.1) to the platen with the
guide rails (3.7) of the parallel guide.
- Fasten the guide rail (4.3) with FSZ screw clamps
(4.4) to the workpiece. Make sure that the safety
distance X (Fig. 4) of 5 mm between the front
edge of the guide rail and cutter or groove is
observed.
- Place the guide stop onto the guide rail as shown
in Fig. 4. To ensure a backlash-free guidance of
the router stop you can adjust two guide cheeks
with a screwdriver through the side openings
(4.2).
- Screw the height-adjustable support (4.6) of the
router table's threaded bore (6.6) in such a way
that the underside of the router table is parallel
to the surface of the workpiece.
When working with marking-up lines, the marks
on the platen (4.5) and the scale on the support
(4.6) show the centre axis of the cutter.
6.6 Routing with the SZ-OF 1000 beam com-
passes
With the SZ-OF 1000 beam compasses, which are
available as an accessory, you can make circular
cuts or segments of circles with diameters from
153 to 760 mm.
- The beam compasses are pushed into the front
groove of the platen until the desired radius is
set.
- Lock the beam compasses with the rotating
knob (1.12).
Practical hint
To prevent the tip of the compasses from making a
hole in the workpiece, fi x a thin board at the centre
point by means of double-sided adhesive tape.

Copy cutting

A copying ring or the copying device is used to
exactly reproduce existing workpieces (both avail-
able as accessories).
a) Copying ring
Fasten the copying rings to the platen instead of
the cover ring (2.1) from below.
When choosing the size of the copying ring (5.1)
make sure that the cutter used (5.2) fi ts through
the ring's opening.
The distance Y (Fig. 5) between the workpiece and
template is calculated by
Y = (Ø copying ring - Ø cutter)
The copying ring can be centred exactly with the
centring cone ZF-OF (Order No. 486035).
b) Copying device
The angle arm WA-OF (6.5) and copier scanning
set KT-OF, consisting of roller holder (6.2) and
three copying rollers (6.1), are required for the
copying device.
- Screw the angle arm at the desired height in the
platen's threaded bore (6.6) with the rotating
knob (6.4).
- Fit a copying roller in the roller holder and bolt
this to the angle arm with the rotating knob (6.3).
Make sure that the copying roller and cutter have
the same diameter!
- Turn the adjusting wheel (6.7) to adjust the
distance between the copying roller and cutter
axis.
