Routing with Parallel Guide (see figure K)
Slide the parallel guide 36 with the guide rods 37 into the
base plate 13 and tighten as required with the wing bolts 42.
Additionally, the parallel guide can be adjusted lengthwise
with the wing bolts 38 and 39.
Fine adjustment of the length is possible with the fine-adjust-
ment knob 40 after loosening both wing bolts 38. One revolu-
tion corresponds with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One gradu-
ation mark on the fine-adjustment knob 40 changes the
setting range by 0.1 mm.
The effective contact surface of the parallel guide can be ad-
justed with the edge guide 41.
Guide the switched on power tool with uniform feed and later-
al pressure on the parallel guide alongside the workpiece
edge.
Routing with the Router Compass (see figure L)
The router compass/guide-rail adapter 43 can be used for cir-
cular routing jobs. Mount the router compass as shown in the
figure.
Screw the centring screw 48 into the thread on the router
compass. Insert the point of the centring screw into the cen-
tre of the circular arc to be routed, paying attention that point
of the screw engages into the workpiece surface.
Coarsely adjust the required radius by moving the router com-
pass and tighten the wing bolts 45 and 46.
The length can be fine adjusted with the fine-adjustment knob
47 after loosening the wing bolt 46. One revolution corre-
sponds with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One graduation mark
on the fine-adjustment knob 47 changes the setting range by
0.1 mm.
Guide the switched on power tool over the workpiece with the
right handle 4 and the router compass handle 44.
Routing with Guide Rail (see figure M)
Straight routing cuts can be carried out with help of the guide
rail 50.
The base spacer 49 must be mounted in order to compensate
the height difference.
Mount the router compass/guide-rail adapter 43 as shown in
the figure.
Fasten the guide rail 50 to the workpiece with suitable clamp-
ing devices, e. g. screw clamps. Place the machine with the
guide-rail adapter 43 mounted onto the guide rail.
Routing with Guide Bushing (see figures N–Q)
The guide bushing 54 enables template and pattern routing
on workpieces.
In order to use the guide bushing 54, the guide bushing adapt-
er 52 must be inserted into the guide plate 15 first.
Place the guide bushing adapter 52 from above onto the
guide plate 15 and tighten it firmly with the 2 fastening
screws 51. Pay attention that the release lever for the guide
bushing adapter 53 is freely movable.
Choose a suitable guide bushing, depending on the thickness
of the template or the pattern. Because of the projecting
height of the guide bushing, the template must have a mini-
mum thickness of 8 mm.
2 610 021 416 | (23.11.11)
Actuate the release lever 53 and insert the guide bushing 54
from below into the guide bushing adapter 52. Ensure that
the encoding keys clearly engage in the grooves of the guide
bushing.
Check the clearance from router bit centre and guide bushing
edge, see section "Centring the Base Plate".
Select a router bit with a diameter smaller than the in-
terior diameter of the guide bushing.
For routing with the guide bushing 54 proceed as follows:
– Note: Take into consideration that for routing work with
the non-plunge base 3, the router bit 18 always protrudes
out of the base plate 13. Do not damage the template or
the workpiece.
– Guide the switched on power tool with the guide bushing
toward the template.
– When using the plunge base 2: Press the release lever for
plunge action 21 down and slowly guide the router down
until the set depth-of-cut is reached. Let go of release lever
21 again to lock this plunging depth.
– Guide the switched on power tool with the protruding
guide bushing alongside the template applying lateral
pressure.
Centring the Base Plate (see figure R)
To ensure that the distance from router bit centre and guide
bushing edge is uniform, the guide bushing and the guide
plate can be adjusted to each other, if required.
– When using the plunge base 2: Press the release lever for
plunge action 21 down and guide the router toward the
base plate to the stop. Let go of release lever 21 again to
lock this plunging depth.
– Loosen the fastening screws 55 approx. 2 turns so that the
guide plate 15 is freely movable.
– Insert the centring pin 56 into the tool holder as shown in
the figure. Hand-tighten the tightening nut so that the cen-
tring pin can still be moved freely.
– Align the centring pin 56 and the guide bushing 54 to each
other by slightly moving the guide plate 15.
– Tighten the fastening screws 55 again.
– Remove the centring pin 56 from the tool holder.
– When using the plunge base 2: Press the release lever for
plunge action 21 and guide the router back to the upper-
most position.
Operation with Router Table (see figure S)
The non-plunge base 3 can be used with a suitable router ta-
ble. To install the router, remove the guide plate 15 and fas-
ten the non-plunge base 3 to the router table with the fasten-
ing screws 58.
For mounting of the non-plunge base, please observe
the operating instructions of your router table. If neces-
sary, matching holes must be drilled into the router table in
order to mount the non-plunge base.
For fine adjustment of the depth-of-cut, it is best to use the ex-
tension 59 or the specialty Allen key 57.
