Routing depth adjustment
The routing depth can be adjusted according to the select-
ed mortise size using the adjusting wheel (1).

stop (29)
Groove height adjustment with swivel stop 90°
The groove height can be adjusted precisely to the work-
piece thickness using the height-adjustable swivel stop (2)
and the index (3) on the right-hand guide column. The rout-
er protection stop (29) must be engaged in the swivel stop
(2); the router protection stop (29) need only be removed in
the 0° position (for metal wall joints). Using the index stop
(27), 3 different thicknesses can be preset. The stop is
factory-preset to the thicknesses 16, 19 and 25 mm.
Groove height adjustment with swivel stop 0°-90°
The groove height can be adjusted using the height-ad-
justable swivel stop (2). The exact height of the groove
must be ascertained by experiment. The router protection
stop (29) must be engaged in the swivel stop (2). Using the
index stop (27), 3 different thicknesses can be preset. This
involves loosening the 6kt nut, setting the 6kt screw to the
desired scale and retightening the nut.
Sawdust exit nozzle and suction nozzle
A sawdust exit nozzle (14), a sawdust catch bag (15) and a
suction nozzle (16) are part of the accessory kit. The saw-
dust exit nozzle (14) or the suction nozzle (16) snap into the
support shoe (6) to eject the sawdust backwards rather
than to the side. The sawdust catch bag (15) can be at-
tached over the suction nozzle (16) so that the sawdust is
ejected directly into the bag (15). For operating the router
in a shop environment, we recommend attaching a regular
vacuum cleaner. In some countries, use of a vacuum
cleaner is mandatory when routing oak or beechwood.
Turning the router on and off
The router is turned on by turning the ring switch (8) in the
direction of the arrow. The rocker switch (9) automatically
snaps into place if the ring switch (8) is turned all the way.
By depressing the raised front edge (10) of the rocker
switch (9), the rocker switch is disengaged and the ring
switch (8) returns automatically to its OFF position. The
router comes to a stop.

Marking the groove placement
The grooves are usually spaced between 10 and 15 cm
apart. The centre of the first groove should be located 4 to
6 cm away from the outside edge of the workpiece. It is
advisable to mark the groove centre lines on the work-
piece. For narrow workpieces, the grooves may be routed
without the aid of marks using the alignment aids (5) on the
support shoe (6), the swivel stop (2) or the base plate (7).
Attention! Danger of accidents!

should be placed on the arched handle, the other

Routing depth

8.0 mm

Routing grooves
12.3 mm
Proceed as follows to rout grooves: Position the 750 FDF
13.0 mm
mortise router by aligning the centre alignment aid (5) on
14.7 mm
the support shoe (6) with a previously drawn locating mark
19.0 mm
on the workpiece. For mitred joints, the height and angular
position must also be adjusted using the two turning knobs
(11) and the swivel stop (2). Turn on the machine. The
groove is routed by advancing the motor module of the
750 FDF mortise router to the desired stop. Hold the rout-
er with both hands – one on the arched handle (12) and
one on the back of the motor housing (13). The motor
module automatically returns to its retracted position if the
force pressing the tool toward the workpiece is released.
For narrow workpieces on which only one or two grooves
are to be routed, the location of the grooves can be se-
lected using the alignment aids (5) on the support shoe (6).
Gluing and clamping
After glue is applied to the grooves on the workpiece, the
mortises are inserted into the grooves and the workpieces
are fit together. To achieve strong joints, the workpieces
must be clamped together with carpenter's clamps or
other suitable clamping tools.

Routing resin galls
This can be accomplished using a special routing tool (op-
tional accessory). When using this tool for the first time, a
slot of the appropriate width must be cut into the support
shoe (6). To do this, install the special resin gall routing tool
and push it all the way forward against the maximum rout-
ing depth stop. The routing tool will then machine a slot of
the proper width into the support shoe (6).
Never turn the router opening toward your face
while the router is running.
Never reach into the sawdust exit opening while the
router is running.
Pull the mains plug before removing excess saw-
dust.
Never reach near the routing tool.
