Changing Tools; Adjusting The Milling Depth - Festool OF 1400 EQ Instrucciones De Servicio

Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures the router
starts up jolt-free.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly bet-
ween 10000 and 22000 min
adjusting wheel (1.10). This enables you
to optimise the cutting speed to suit the
material:
Cutter diameter
[mm]
10 - 25 25 - 40 40 - 60
Material Rotary control setting
Hard wood 6 - 4
Soft wood 6 - 5
Laminated
6 - 5
chipboard
Plastic 6 - 4
Aluminium 3 - 1
Plasterboard 2 - 1
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant
whether the machine is in operation or in
neutral position.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electro-
nics switches the machine off when it rea-
ches a critical motor temperature. Let the
machine cool down for approx. 3-5 minutes
before using it again. The machine requires
less time to cool down if it is running, i.e. in
neutral position.
Brake (OF 1400 EBQ)
The OF 1400 EBQ has an electronic bra-
ke which brings the spindle with tool to a
standstill within approx. 2 seconds of the
tool being switched off.

Changing tools

You can turn the machine upside down when
changing the tool.
a) Inserting the tool
- Insert the router into the open clamping
collet as far as possible, but at least up to
the mark ( ) on the router shank.
- Press the switch (1.14) for locking the
spindle on the right-hand side.
- Tighten the locking nut (1.15) with a 19
mm open-end spanner.
Note: the spindle lock only blocks the motor
spindle in one direction of rotation at any
one time. Therefore when the nut is undone

or tightened, the wrench does not need to
be offset but can be moved back and forth
like a ratchet.
b) Removing the tool
- Press the switch (1.14) for locking the
spindle on the left-hand side.
- Loosen the locking nut (1.15) using a 19
mm open-ended spanner until a resistance
is felt. Overcome this resistance by turning
the open-ended spanner even further.
- Remove the cutter.
5.3 How to change the clamping col-
let
Clamping collets are available for following
shank diameters: 6.35 mm, 8 mm, 9.53
mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 12.7 mm (order num-
bers see Festool catalogue or Internet „www.
festool.com".
- Fully unscrew the nut (1.13) and remove
from spindle together with the clamping
collet.
- Insert a new clamping collet with nut into
the spindle and slightly tighten the nut. Do
not tighten the nut until a milling cutter has
been fi tted.

Adjusting the milling depth

The milling depth is adjusted in three sta-
ges:
a) Setting the zero point
- Open the clamping lever (1.6) so that the
stop cylinder (1.7) can move freely.
- Place the router with router table (1.9)
onto a smooth surface. Open the rotary
knob (1.5) and press the machine down
until the milling cutter rests on the base.
- Clamp the machine in this position by tigh-
tening the rotary knob (1.5).
- Press the stop cylinder against one of the
three sensing stops of the pivoted turret
stop (1.8).
The individual height of each sensing stop
can be adjusted with a screwdriver:
Sensing stop min. height/max. height
A
B
C
- Push the pointer (1.3) down so that it
shows 0 mm on the scale (1.1).
If the base position is incorrect, this can be

44 mm/54 mm
54 mm/67 mm
