Vibration emission level (3-axis) a
h
= 3.5 m/s²
Uncertainty K = 2.0 m/s²
The specifi ed emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with
other insertion tools or if not maintained adequat-
ely. Take note of idling and downtimes of machine!
4 Power supply and start-up
The line voltage and frequency must
correspond with the data on the ratings
plate!
Switch (1.13) serves as an On/Off switch (I = On/0
= Off). It may be latched with the locking knob on
the side (1.12) for continuous operation. Press-
ing the switch again releases the lock. See Fig.
2 for connection and disconnection of the power
cable.
5 Machine settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
5.1 Electronics
Do not operate the tool if the electronics are faulty
as this can lead to the tool operating at excessive
speeds. If the start-up is not smooth or speed
adjustment is not possible, this indicates that the
electronics are faulty.
The OF 1400 EBQ, OF 1400 EQ features
full-wave electronics with the following
properties:
Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures the router starts
up jolt-free.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
10000 and 22000 min
-1 using the adjusting wheel
(1.10). This enables you to optimise the cutting
speed to suit the material:

Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant whether
the machine is in operation or in neutral position.
Temperature control
If the motor temperature becomes too high, the
power supply and speed are reduced. The tool
then only runs with reduced power to enable
rapid cooling by means of the motor ventilation.
After cooling down, the tool accelerates again
automatically.
Brake (OF 1400 EBQ)
The OF 1400 EBQ has an electronic brake which
brings the spindle with tool to a standstill within
approx. 2 seconds of the tool being switched off.
5.2 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. If the collet (3a.2) is not vis-
ible because it is blocked by the union nut (3a.3),
the milling tool (3a.1) must be inserted into the
collet at least far enough that the marker
no
longer overlaps with the union nut.
- Press the switch (1.14) for locking the spindle
on the right-hand side.
- Tighten the locking nut (1.15) with a 24 mm
open-end spanner.
Note: the spindle lock only blocks the motor spin-
dle in one direction of rotation at any one time.
Therefore when the nut is undone or tightened,
