Dust extraction

WARNING
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work

with a dust extractor.
Always read applicable national regulations be-

fore extracting hazardous dust.
Extraction hoods are supplied for both router ta-
bles; a Festool extractor (extractor hose with a di-
ameter of 27 mm) can be connected to these ex-
traction hoods.
The dust extractor (extractor hose with dia. 27 mm)
can also be attached to the large surface router ta-
ble or the side stop depending on the application.

Working with the machine

Please observe all mentioned safety infor-
mations and the following rules when work-
ing:
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being processed.
– Hold the machine with two hands, one on the mo-
tor housing and one on the gear head or addition-
al handle [1-6] to ensure safe guidance.
– Adapt the feed rate to the cutter diameter and
material. Work with a constant feed rate
8.1 Guide types
Routing with side stop
The side stop is positioned parallel to the workpiece
edge.
The side stop can only be fitted to the large surface
router table without a fitted extraction hood [4-2].
Insert the fine adjuster [9-3] into the side stop.

Secure both guide rods [9-5] with the two rotary

knobs [9-2] on the side stop.
Insert the side stop into the grooves on the rout-

er table to the required distance and secure the
guide rods by turning the rotary knob [9-1].
Fine adjustment
Loosen the screws [9-2] and turn the green

wheel on the fine adjuster [9-3].
The distance between each line on the rotary
wheel is 0.1 mm - one full turn of the ring rep-
resents 1 mm.
Tighten the screws [9-2].

Rough adjustment
Loosen the screws [9-2] and [9-4] and slide the

side stop.
Tighten the screws.

Edge trimming with bearing guide [Fig. 10]
Use routing tools with a bearing guide in the ma-
chine when edge trimming with the large surface
router table. The machine is then guided in such a
way that the bearing guide rolls off the workpiece.
When trimming edges, always use the extraction
hood [10-1] for improved dust extraction.
Edge trimming with sensor and router table for
edge veneer [Fig. 11]
When edge trimming with the router table for edge
veneer (only in SET scope of delivery), fit the sensor
[11-1] to the machine (see Chapter 7.2). The ma-
chine is then guided in such a way that the sensor
rests against the workpiece.

Service and maintenance

WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
Always disconnect the mains plug from the

socket before performing maintenance work on
the machine!
All maintenance and repair work which requires

the motor housing to be opened must only be
carried out by an authorised service workshop.
The machine is equipped with special carbon
brushes. If they are worn out, the power is inter-
rupted automatically and the machine comes to a
standstill.
