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 24 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 collet
Clamping collets are available for following shank
diameters: 6.0 mm, 6.35 mm, 8 mm, 9.53 mm, 10
mm, 12 mm, 12.7 mm (order numbers see Festool
catalogue or Internet „www.festool.com“.
- Fully unscrew the nut (1.15) 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 tight-
en the nut until a milling cutter has been fi tted.
5.4 Adjusting the milling depth
The milling depth is adjusted in three stages:
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 tightening
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 38 mm/44 mm
B 44 mm/54 mm
C 54 mm/67 mm
- 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 ad-
justed with the screw (1.2) on the indicator.
b) Setting the milling depth
The desired milling depth can be set either with
the quick depth adjustment or with the fi ne depth
adjustment.
- Quick depth adjustment: Pull the stop cylinder
(1.7) up until the pointer shows the desired
milling depth. Clamp the stop cylinder in this
position with the clamping lever (1.6).
- Fine depth adjustment: Clamp the stop cylinder
with the clamping lever (1.6). Set the desired
milling depth by turning the adjusting wheel (1.4)
in. Turn the adjusting wheel to the next mark
on the scale to adjust the milling depth by 0.1
mm. One full turn adjusts the milling depth by 1
mm. The maximum adjustment range with the
adjusting wheel is 8 mm.
c) Increasing the milling depth
- Open the rotary knob (1.5) and press the tool
down until the stop cylinder touches the sensing
stops.
- Clamp the machine in this position by tightening
the rotary knob (1.5).
5.5 Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
- Fit the extractor hood to the router base by fi rst
inserting the two tenons (3.1) on the extractor
hood into the recesses (3.2) on the router base,
then place the extractor hood on the router base
and close the lever (3.5).
- To enable fi tting and removing the extractor
hood with the router attached, the recess (3.3)
in the extractor hood can be opened by turning
the segment (3.4). For optimised dust extraction,
the recess with the rotating segment must be
closed during work.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose
diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm recom-
mended due to the reduced risk of clogging) can
be connected to the extractor connector (3.6).
KSF-OF chip catcher
Using the KSF-OF chip catcher (sometimes in-
cluded in the scope of delivery), the effi ciency
of the extraction can be increased when routing
edges.
Installation is similar to that of the copying ring
(fi g. 8).
The hood can be cut off along the grooves using a
hacksaw and can thus be reduced in size. The chip
catcher can then be used for interior radiuses up
to a minimum radius of 40 mm.
6 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
