7.6 Dust extraction

CAUTION
Dust may be harmful or cause allergic
reactions!
• Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
• When performing work that generates
dust, always wear a dust mask.
Extraction hoods are supplied for both router
tables; a Festool extractor (extractor hose
with a diameter of 27 mm) can be connected
to these extraction hoods.
The dust extractor (extractor hose with dia.
27 mm) can also be attached to the large
surface router table or the side stop depend-
ing on the application.

Working with the machine

WARNING
Risk of injury
Hold the machine with both hands.
•
Always secure the workpiece in such a
•
manner that it cannot move while being
routed.
Guide the machine along the workpiece at
a steady rate of advance.

8.1 Machine guidance methods

a) Routing with side stop
The side stop is positioned parallel to the
workpiece edge.
The side stop can only be fi tted to the large
surface router table without a fi tted extrac-
tion hood [4-2].
• Insert the fi ne 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 router table to the required distance
and secure the guide rods by turning the
rotary knob [9-1].
Rough adjustment
• Loosen the screws [9-2] and [9-4] and
slide the side stop.
• Tighten the screws.
Fine adjustment
• Loosen the screws [9-2] and turn the
green wheel on the fi ne adjuster [9-3].
The distance between each line on the
rotary wheel is 0.1 mm - one full turn of
the ring represents 1 mm.
• Tighten the screws [9-2].
b) Edge trimming with bearing guide
[Fig. 10]
Use routing tools with a bearing guide in
the machine 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 un-
dertable extractor adapter [10-1] for im-
proved dust extraction.
c) Edge trimming with sensor and rout-
er table for edge veneer [Fig. 11]
When edge trimming with the router table
for edge veneer (only in SET scope of deliv-
ery), fi t the sensor [11-1] to the machine
(see Chapter 7.2 b). The machine is then
guided in such a way that the sensor rests
against the workpiece.

8.2 Aluminium processing

WARNING
Risk of accident - always perform the
following safety measures when rout-
ing aluminium:
• Add a residual-current circuit-breaker
(FI, PRCD).
• Connect the machine to a suitable dust
extractor.
• Remove dust deposits from the motor
housing on a regular basis.
• Wear protective goggles.

Service and maintenance

WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
Always pull the plug out of the socket
•
before performing any type of 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.
Check the plug and the cable regularly
•
and should either become damaged,
have them replaced by an authorised
after-sales service workshop.
