Preparing the router (see 5.3)
Caution: Always unplug the tool from the mains before chang-
ing cutters!
• Clamp the cutter (see Table 1) in the router's clamping collet.
• Set the zero point (routing depth = 0 mm) on your router by plac-
ing the tool on the template and pushing down until the cutter
touches the surface of the of the clamped workpiece.
• Set the workpiece thickness as the routing depth on your
router.
Caution: The routing depth should not be greater than the cutter
diameter. Instead, divided the cutting depth up into two or more
operating stages.
• When routing joints use the extractor hood for the router's side
stop or the extractor hood AH-OF (accessory). Connect the
extractor hood to a suitable dust extractor from dust class "M"
(e.g. Festool CLEANTEX CTM).
Note: set the gap between the extractor hood and vertical work-
piece so that you still have enough travel to rout the dovetails.

Processing
• Place the router on the end of the template so that the collar
(18.1) of the starting ring rests against the template.
• Press the tool down to the preset routing depth and lock the
routing depth on the router.
• Switch the router on.
• Guide the router evenly along the template (Figure 19).
Caution: The collar of the starting ring must always rest against
the. Always hold the router by both handles parallel to the tem-
plate and do not turn the tool during routing. The routing depth
may not be changed during routing.
• Check the depth of the slots before unclamping the workpiece.
If they are not correct, reduce or increase the routing depth at
your router by the faulty dimension.
