Extension cable

If an extension cable is required, it must have a suf-
fi cient cross-section so as to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in
voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
of the motor. The table below shows you the correct
cable diameter as a function of the cable length for
the router OF 1400 EQ. Use only U.L. and CSA listed
extension cables. Never use two extension cables
together. Instead, use one long one.

Lenght (feet)
Cord size (AWG)
Note: The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
cable.

Switching the machine on and off

Keep the machine steady during
switching and during use by holding the handles
(3.1, 3.4) with both hands.
Switch (3.3) serves as an On/Off switch. It may be
latched with the locking knob on the side (3.2) for
continuous operation. Pressing the switch again
releases the lock.
3.4
After the machine has been switched
off, the milling cutter will still rotate for a time. Take
care that parts of your body do not come into contact
with the milling cutter while it is still rotating!

Tool settings

Always disconnect the plug from the
power supply before making any adjustments to
the router or installing or removing any accessory!

Electronic control

The router OF 1400 EQ has solid shaft electronics
with the following functions:
Smooth start-up:
The electronically controlled smooth start-up facil-
ity enables start-up of the machine without jerks
and requires a lower start-up current.
Speed regulation:
Using the electronic speed control (1.1) the motor
speed can be continuously adjusted from 10000
and 22500 rpm. The table below offers a guide to
the correct electronic setting for various materials.
The settings are naturally infi nitely variable.

Hard wood 6-4
Soft wood 6-5
Panels 6-5
Plastic 6-4
Aluminium 3-1
Plasterboard 2-1
Constant speed:
The selected motor speed is electronically main-
tained to a constant level. By this means a uniform
cutting speed is achieved.
Do not work with the OF 1400 EQ if
the electronic control is defective since this may
lead to excessive speeds. A defect in the electronic
control is indicated by the absence of a smooth
run-up, a higher noise level at idle or the fact that
no speed control is possible.
