Edge or profile routing (see figure F)
For edge and profile routing without a parallel guide, the
router bit must be fitted with a pilot pin or a ball bearing.
While it is switched on, guide the power tool towards the
workpiece from the side until the pilot pin or the ball bearing
of the router bit is touching the side of the workpiece edge
that you want to machine.
Guide the power tool along the workpiece edge. Pay atten-
tion that the router is positioned perpendicularly. Too much
pressure can damage the edge of the workpiece.
Routing with a parallel guide (see figure G)
You can fit a parallel guide (19) for when cutting parallel to
an edge.
Fit the parallel guide (19) to the routing base (2) using the
nut (4).
Set the desired stop depth using the wing bolt on the parallel
guide (20).
While it is switched on, guide the power tool along the work-
piece edge with a uniform feed and while applying lateral
pressure to the parallel guide.
Routing with a pilot (see figure H)
The pilot (21) helps when routing edges with router bits
without a pilot pin or ball bearing.
Fit the pilot to the routing base (2) using the nut (4).
Guide the power tool along the workpiece edge with a uni-
form feed.
Lateral clearance: To change the amount of material being
removed, you can adjust the lateral clearance between the
workpiece and the guide roller (24) on the pilot (21).
Loosen the wing bolt (22), set the lateral clearance you want
by turning the wing bolt (23), then retighten the wing
bolt (22).
Height: Set the vertical alignment of the pilot according to
the router bit you are using and the thickness of the work-
piece you want to machine.
Loosen the nut (4) on the pilot, slide the pilot into the de-
sired position and retighten the bolt.
