with the clamping lever 

25

 released, is locked in one of the 

3 notches 

26

. The notches each have a clearance of 

12.7 mm (0.5 ").

– The adjustment knob for depth-of-cut fine adjustment 

24

is used for fine adjustment of the routing depth; turn clock-
wise to increase the routing depth, and anticlockwise to 
decrease the routing depth. The travel on the scale of ad-
justment knob 

24

 is indicated in inch and millimeter. The 

maximum setting range is 41 mm. The scale for depth-of-
cut adjustment 

34

 provides added orientation.

Example:

 The desired depth-of-cut is to be 10.0 mm; the 

trial cut resulted in a cutting depth of 9.5 mm.

– Set the scale of the adjustment knob 

24

 to “0” without 

changing the setting of the adjustment knob 

24

 itself. Then 

set the adjustment knob 

24

 to the value “0.5” by turning in 

clockwise direction.

– Check the selected depth-of-cut by carrying out another 

trial cut.

Working Advice

Direction of Feed and Routing Process  (see figure I)



The routing process must always be carried out against 
the rotation direction of the router bit 18 (up-cutting 
motion). When routing in the direction with the rota-
tion of the router (down-cutting), the machine can 
break loose, eliminating control by the user.

For routing with the plunge base 

2

, proceed as follows:

– 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.

– Press the release lever for plunge action 

7

 down and slowly 

guide the router down until the set depth-of-cut is reached. 
Let go of release lever 

7

 again to lock this plunging depth.

– Carry out the routing process applying uniform feed.
– After finishing the routing process, guide the router up to 

the uppermost position.

– Switch the power tool off.

For routing with the non-plunge base 

3

, proceed as follows:

–

Note:

 Take into consideration that for routing work with 

the non-plunge base 

3

, the router bit 

18

 always protrudes 

out of the base plate 

13

. Do not damage the template or 

the workpiece.

– Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section “Adjusting 

the Depth-of-cut”.

– Switch the machine on and guide it to the location subject 

to routing.

– Carry out the routing process applying uniform feed.
– Switch the power tool off. Do not place the power tool 

down until the router bit has come to a standstill.

Routing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure J)

For working large workpieces, e. g., when routing grooves, a 
board or straight edge can be securely fastened to the work-
piece as an auxiliary guide. The multifunction router can be 
guided alongside the path of this auxiliary guide. When using 
the plunge base 

2

, guide the guide plate (flattened side) of the 

multifunction router alongside the auxiliary guide.

Shaping or Molding Applications

For shaping or molding applications without the use of a par-
allel 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 workpiece 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 pressure can damage the edge of 
the workpiece.

Routing with Parallel Guide (see figure K)

Slide the parallel guide 

35

 with the guide rods 

36

 into the 

base plate 

13

 and tighten as required with the wing bolts 

41

. 

Additionally, the parallel guide can be adjusted lengthwise 
with the wing bolts 

37

 and 

38

.

Fine adjustment of the length is possible with the fine-adjust-
ment knob 

39

 after loosening both wing bolts 

37

. One revolu-

tion corresponds with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One gradu-
ation mark on the fine-adjustment knob 

39

 changes the 

setting range by 0.1 mm.

The effective contact surface of the parallel guide can be ad-
justed with the edge guide 

40

.

Guide the switched on power tool with uniform feed and later-
al pressure on the parallel guide alongside the workpiece 
edge.

Routing with the Router Compass (see figure L)

The router compass/guide-rail adapter 

42

 can be used for cir-

cular routing jobs. Mount the router compass as shown in the 
figure.

Screw the centring screw 

47

 into the thread on the router 

compass. Insert the point of the centring screw into the cen-
tre of the circular arc to be routed, paying attention that point 
of the screw engages into the workpiece surface.

Coarsely adjust the required radius by moving the router com-
pass and tighten the wing bolts 

44

 and 

45

.

The length can be fine adjusted with the fine-adjustment knob 

46

 after loosening the wing bolt 

45

. One revolution corre-

sponds with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One graduation mark 
on the fine-adjustment knob 

46

 changes the setting range by 

0.1 mm.

Guide the switched on power tool over the workpiece with the 
right handle 

4

 and the router compass handle

43

.

Routing with Guide Rail (see figure M)

Straight routing cuts can be carried out with help of the guide 
rail 

49

.

The base spacer 

48

 must be mounted in order to compensate 

the height difference.

Mount the router compass/guide-rail adapter 

42

 as shown in 

the figure.

Fasten the guide rail 

49

 to the workpiece with suitable clamp-

ing devices, e. g. screw clamps. Place the machine with the 
guide-rail adapter 

42

 mounted onto the guide rail.
