6.4.1 Dovetails
a)
Inserting the template (SZO 14 S or SZO 20 S) and fi tting
a splinterguard
• Lock the tow swivel segments in the central (vertical) position
with the clamping lever (see Figure 6).
• Open both clamping levers to adjust the height of the template
and press the mount for the templates right down.
• Open the rotary knobs (25.2) to clamp the template and insert
the template. Caution: The bent rear edge (25.1) of the template
must point upwards.
• Push the template back up to the stop and clamp tight with the
two rotary knobs (25.2)
• Turn the two stops into the positions "SZ 14" and "SZ 20" (25.4).
Align the stops so that the arrows (25.7) lie against the inner
straight side (25.6) of the notches in the template. Clamp the
stops tight with the rotary knobs (25.3).
• Move the template up and place a board of soft wood (25.5) below
the template as a splinterguard.
Note: The splinterguard prevents splintering on the rear side of
the workpiece during routing.
Caution: To avoid damage to the jointing system during routing
and to ensure that the splinterguard functions properly it must
be approx. 5 mm thicker and at least as wide as the workpiece
being processed.
• Push the template down until it lies fl at on the splinterguard
and close the two clamping levers to adjust the height of the
template.
• Align the splinterguard so that it lies fl ush with the front edge
of the base frame and clamp it tight with the upper pressure
beam.
b)
Clamping workpiece
Clamp a workpiece which is to be dovetailed.
When doing this, note the following (see fi g. 26):
• The side of the workpiece must rest against the stop.
• The workpiece must be pushed against the template from be-
neath and connected fl ush at the top with the splinterguard.
• Clamp the plastic bracket (26.1) included with SZO 14 S as
well.
c)
Preparing the router
(After the copying ring has been installed, see section 5.3)
Caution: The plug should always be removed from the power
mains before changing tools.
• Clamp the cutter (see T2) 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.
• 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.
