Changing tools
CAUTION
Risk of injury from hot and sharp insertion
tool
► Do not use any blunt or faulty insertion
tools.
► Wear protective gloves when handling an
insertion tool.
To change tools, turn the power tool upside
down.
Inserting the tool
► Insert the routing tool into the open collet
as far as possible or at least up to the
mark
on the router shank.
If the collet [3A-2] cannot be seen due to
the union nut [3A-3], the routing
tool [3A-1] must be inserted into the collet
to the extent that the mark
projects beyond the union nut.
► Press the switch [1-14] for the spindle stop
on the right-hand side.
► Tighten the nut [1-15] using an open ended
spanner (WAF 24).
The spindle stop only jams the motor spin
dle in one direction of rotation. Therefore,
there is no need to use a spanner for tight
ening and loosening nuts. Instead, a ratch
et can be moved backwards and forwards.
Removing the tool
► Press the switch [1-14] for the spindle stop
on the left-hand side.
► Undo the nut [1-15] using an open ended
spanner (WAF 24) until you can feel resist
ance. Overcome the resistance by continu
ing to turn the open ended spanner.
► Remove the router.

The routing depth is set in three steps:
1.
Set the zero point, see 8.5.
2.
Specify the routing depth, see 8.6.
3.
Clamp the routing depth, see 8.7.
8.5
► Release the clamp lever [1-6] so that the
depth stop [1-7] can move freely.
► Position the router with the router ta
ble [1-9] on a level surface. Open the rotary
knob [1-5] and push the power tool down
wards until the cutter sits on the surface.
► Clamp the power tool in this position by
closing the rotary knob [1-5].
► Press the depth stop [1-7] against one of
the three fixed stops of the rotatable step
ped stop [1-8].
A screwdriver can be used to individually adjust
the height of each fixed stop.
► Push the indicator [1-3] downwards so that
it points to 0" (0 mm) on the scale.
