Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches 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.
7.2 Changing the router table
The large surface router table is already fi tted as
standard. The large contact surface and precision
adjustment features of this router table enable a
high degree of accuracy. Other router tables are
included in the accessories programme.
a) Large surface router table
• Slide the router table onto the retaining pin on
the machine.
• Tighten the screw [4-1] to clamp the router table
in position.
• Place the extraction hood [4-2] in position.
• Tighten the screw [4-3] to clamp the extraction
hood in position.
• Place the extractor connector [4-4] on the ex-
traction hood.
Removal is performed in reverse sequence to
installation.
b) Router table for edge veneer
The "router table for edge veneer" (only in SET
scope of delivery) is designed for fl ush trimming
veneer overhang and profi le routing.
The router table is tilted 1.5° so that the surface
coating is not damaged during edge routing. A
router table with 0° inclination angle for precise
cuts is available as an accessory.
• Secure the sensor [5-1] to the machine using
the preassembled screws. Slide the sensor in
the long holes to adjust the routing tool to the
perfect position.
• Slide the router table onto the retaining pin on
the machine.
• Tighten the screw [5-2] to clamp the router table
in position.
• Place the extraction hood [5-3] in position.
• Tighten the screw [5-4] to clamp the extraction
hood in position.
Removal is performed in reverse sequence to
installation.
7.3 Changing the routing tool

Risk of accident - the routing tool may be hot
after use and has sharp edges.
• Allow the tool to cool before changing.
• Wear protective gloves when changing tools.
• Remove the router table before changing the
routing tool.
a) Removing the tool
• Press the spindle lock [6-1].
• Unscrew the locking nut [6-2] using the open-
end wrench (size 19) until you are able to remove
the tool.
• Release the spindle lock [6-1].
b) Inserting the tool
• Insert the routing tool [6-3] into the open

• Unscrew the locking nut [7-2] completely.
• Release the spindle lock [7-1].

nut to the spindle.
• Screw on the locking nut loosely. Do not tighten
the locking nut until a router bit is inserted.
