For deep cuts, it is recommended to carry out several
cuts, each with little material removal. By using the
step buffer 9, the cutting process can be divided into
several steps. For this, adjust the desired depth-of-cut
with the lowest step of the step buffer and select the
higher steps first for the initial cuts.
POF 1200 AE: The clearance of the steps can be
changed by screwing the adjusting screws 24 further
in or out.
Fine Adjustment of the Depth-of-cut
(POF 1400 ACE)
After a trial cut, the depth-of-cut can be set exactly to
the desired measure by turning the adjustment knob
18; turn in clockwise direction to increase the cutting
depth and in anticlockwise direction to decrease the
cutting depth. The scale 17 can be used for guidance.
One full turn corresponds with a setting range of
2.0 mm; a graduation mark on the top edge of the
scale 17 corresponds with a 0.1 mm change of the
setting range. The maximum setting range is ± 8 mm.
Example: The desired depth-of-cut is to be 10.0 mm;
the trial cut resulted in a cutting depth of 9.6 mm.
• Lift up the router and place, e. g., a piece of scrap
wood under the guide plate 7 so that the router bit
21 cannot touch the workpiece when lowering it.
Push clamping lever 16 in rotation direction
slowly lower the plunge router until the depth stop
13 faces against the step buffer 9.
• Turn the scale 17 to "0" and loosen wing bolt 11.
• Turn the adjustment knob 18 by 0.4 mm/4 gradu-
ation marks (difference from set to actual value) in
clockwise direction and tighten the wing bolt 11.
• Check the selected depth-of-cut by carrying out
another trial cut.
After adjusting the depth-of-cut, do not change the
position of the slide 12 on the depth stop 13 any
more, so that the actual cutting depth can be read on
the scale 14.
Fine Adjustment of the Depth-of-cut
(POF 1200 AE)
Different depths-of-cut can be preset with the step
buffer 9. The adjustment is carried out in the same
manner as previously described, with the difference
that by screwing the adjusting screws 24 in or out, the
height difference between the stops can be changed.

Operating Instructions
Protect router bits against shock and impact.
Direction of Feed and Routing Process
(see figure E)
The routing process must always be carried
out against the rotation direction of the
router bit 21 (up-cutting motion). When rout-
ing in the direction with the rotation of the
router (down-cutting), the machine can
break loose, eliminating control by the user.
• Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section
"Adjusting the Depth-of-cut".
• Place the machine with the router bit mounted on
the workpiece to be machined and switch the
power tool on.
• Push clamping lever 16 down and slowly lower the
plunge router until the adjusted depth-of-cut is
reached. Let go of the clamping lever 16 again to
lock this plunge depth.
If required, push clamping lever 16 up again to
finally lock it in place.
• Carry out the routing process applying uniform
feed.
• After finishing the cutting process, guide the
and
plunge router upward again to the uppermost
position.
• Switch the power tool off.
Routing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure F)
For working large workpieces, e. g. when routing
grooves, a board or wood strip can be fastened to the
workpiece as an auxiliary guide alongside which the
router can be guided. Guide the router with the flat-
tened side of the guide plate along the auxiliary guide.
Shaping or Molding Applications
For shaping or molding applications without the use of
a parallel guide, the router bit must be equipped with
a pilot or a ball bearing.
• Guide the switched on power tool from the side
toward the workpiece until the pilot or the ball
bearing of the router bit faces against the work-
piece edge to be machined.
• Guide the power tool alongside the workpiece
edge with both hands, paying attention that the
router is positioned rectangular. Too much pres-
sure can damage the edge of the workpiece.
Routing with Parallel Guide (see figures G–H)
Slide the parallel guide 31 with the guide rods 30 into
the base plate 6 and tighten it as required with the
wing bolts 4.
Guide the switched on power tool with uniform feed
and lateral pressure on the parallel guide alongside
the workpiece edge.
