Chips extraction
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose di-
ameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm recommended
due to the reduced risk of clogging) can be con-
nected to the extractor connector [5.4].
5.1
The extractor connector [5.4] can be rotated within
the range indicated [5.3]. The extractor connector
on the extraction pipe will no longer be secure if
rotated outside of this range.
Chip guard
The chip guard [5.2] can be moved to the top posi-
tion to change the router bit, for example. Slide the
chip guard upwards until it engages or push the
machine down as far as possible.
We recommend lowering the chip guard before
starting work to improve the effi ciency of the ex-
traction system. Push the lever [5.1] towards the
handle to do this.
KSF-OF chip defl ector
6.1
The chip defl ector KSF-OF [6.1] indirectly increases
the effi ciency of the extraction system during edge
routing. The maximum possible routing diameter
is 3-1/16" (78 mm).
The defl ector is fi tted in a similar way to the copying
ring (see "Copy routing").
The hood can be cut off along the grooves [6.2] using
a hacksaw and can thus be reduced in size. The chip
defl ector can then be used for interior radiuses up
to a minimum radius of 2-1/32" (52 mm).

range. Cracked or distorted cutters must not be
used.

before changing. Wear protective gloves when
changing tools.
We recommend turning the machine on its side
to change the tool.

Note:
Switch off the machine before pressing the
rocker for the spindle lock [7.1]
a) Removing the tool
– Slide the chip guard [7.2] upwards until it en-
gages, if necessary.
– Press the rocker [7.1] for the spindle lock to
side A.
– Unscrew the locking nut [7.3] using an open-end
wrench (size 24) until you are able to remove the
tool.
b) Inserting the tool
– Insert the routing tool [7.4/7a.1] into the open
