Application The 750 FDF flat mortise router can be employed for routing grooves in a range of materials including solid wood, plywood, particle boards, fibreboards, plexiglass and artificial marble with mortise type nos. 0, 10, 20, S6, H9, Simplex and Duplex as well as for milling resin pockets in solid wood. Safety rules and instructions which should be read prior to operation. We strongly urge that you always observe them for your own safety.

1. Pull mains plug prior to working on the motor. This

is especially important when changing the router or other tools or when performing service and maintenance work.

2. Always clamp the workpiece securely if possible.

3. Make sure that the routing tools are sharp. Dull

tools produce poor routing results and unnecessarily overload the motor.

4. Make sure that the router motor is turned off when

putting the router down.

5. Always disconnect the router's power cord during

work interruptions to prevent unintentional operation!

6. Use only routing tools intended for manual tool advance.

7. The motor component of the 750 FDF mortise

router must be able to turn freely without snagging.

8. The support shoe must not be clamped in place

while the routing tool is extended. Double insulation Our equipment is designed in accordance with European regulations (EN standards) for the utmost safety of the user. Machines with double insulation always carry the international symbol. The machines do not require earthing. A two-core cable is sufficient. The machines are interference-suppressed in accordance with EN 55014. Initial operation Before the first operation check that the mains voltage corresponds to that given on the machine nameplate. Connection types The 750 FDF mortise router can be used for the following types of joints in solid wood, plywood, particle board, fibre board, plexiglass und and artificial marble. Corner joint Miter joint Lengthwise or cross joint Centre wall joint Selection of mortise sizes Workpiece thickness Mortise size 8-12 12-15 >15

Frame joint Dimensions 47 x 15 x 4 mm 53 x 19 x 4 mm 56 x 23 x 4 mm Always use the largest possible mortise size for an optimal joint. For workpiece thicknesses above 25 mm, 2 mortises may be used.

Routing depth adjustment The routing depth can be adjusted according to the selected mortise size using the adjusting wheel (1). Mortise No. 0 No. 10 No. 20 Simplex Duplex maximal Setting

Caution! Risk of accident ● Always work with an engaged router protection stop (29) Groove height adjustment with swivel stop 90° The groove height can be adjusted precisely to the workpiece thickness using the height-adjustable swivel stop (2) and the index (3) on the right-hand guide column. The router protection stop (29) must be engaged in the swivel stop (2); the router protection stop (29) need only be removed in the 0° position (for metal wall joints). Using the index stop (27), 3 different thicknesses can be preset. The stop is factory-preset to the thicknesses 16, 19 and 25 mm. Groove height adjustment with swivel stop 0°-90° The groove height can be adjusted using the height-adjustable swivel stop (2). The exact height of the groove must be ascertained by experiment. The router protection stop (29) must be engaged in the swivel stop (2). Using the index stop (27), 3 different thicknesses can be preset. This involves loosening the 6kt nut, setting the 6kt screw to the desired scale and retightening the nut. Sawdust exit nozzle and suction nozzle A sawdust exit nozzle (14), a sawdust catch bag (15) and a suction nozzle (16) are part of the accessory kit. The sawdust exit nozzle (14) or the suction nozzle (16) snap into the support shoe (6) to eject the sawdust backwards rather than to the side. The sawdust catch bag (15) can be attached over the suction nozzle (16) so that the sawdust is ejected directly into the bag (15). For operating the router in a shop environment, we recommend attaching a regular vacuum cleaner. In some countries, use of a vacuum cleaner is mandatory when routing oak or beechwood. Turning the router on and off The router is turned on by turning the ring switch (8) in the direction of the arrow. The rocker switch (9) automatically snaps into place if the ring switch (8) is turned all the way. By depressing the raised front edge (10) of the rocker switch (9), the rocker switch is disengaged and the ring switch (8) returns automatically to its OFF position. The router comes to a stop. Marking the groove placement The grooves are usually spaced between 10 and 15 cm apart. The centre of the first groove should be located 4 to 6 cm away from the outside edge of the workpiece. It is advisable to mark the groove centre lines on the workpiece. For narrow workpieces, the grooves may be routed without the aid of marks using the alignment aids (5) on the support shoe (6), the swivel stop (2) or the base plate (7). Attention! Danger of accidents!

Always wear ear and eye protection. Always guide the tool with both hands – one hand should be placed on the arched handle, the other on the motor housing.

Never turn the router opening toward your face while the router is running. Never reach into the sawdust exit opening while the router is running. Pull the mains plug before removing excess sawdust. Never reach near the routing tool. Routing grooves Proceed as follows to rout grooves: Position the 750 FDF mortise router by aligning the centre alignment aid (5) on the support shoe (6) with a previously drawn locating mark on the workpiece. For mitred joints, the height and angular position must also be adjusted using the two turning knobs (11) and the swivel stop (2). Turn on the machine. The groove is routed by advancing the motor module of the 750 FDF mortise router to the desired stop. Hold the router with both hands – one on the arched handle (12) and one on the back of the motor housing (13). The motor module automatically returns to its retracted position if the force pressing the tool toward the workpiece is released. For narrow workpieces on which only one or two grooves are to be routed, the location of the grooves can be selected using the alignment aids (5) on the support shoe (6). Gluing and clamping After glue is applied to the grooves on the workpiece, the mortises are inserted into the grooves and the workpieces are fit together. To achieve strong joints, the workpieces must be clamped together with carpenter's clamps or other suitable clamping tools. Routing various joint types Corner joint: ● with an engaged router protection stop (29) ● with infinitely variable height adjustment using the scale (3) on the right-hand guide column (4) ● with pre-adjusted height on the index stop system (27) Miter joint: ● with engaged router protection stop (29) ● with adjustable swivel stop (2) Frame joint: ● with engaged router protection stop (29) ● with 2 mortises for thicknesses over 25 mm ● with standard router setting and turned-over workpiece for routing the second groove ● with swivel stop (2) for variable spacing from the workpiece edge and turned-over workpiece for routing the second groove Centre wall joint: in horizontal application with swivel stop 90° ● with engaged router protection stop (29) in vertical application with swivel stop 0° ● without engaged router protection stop (29) Lengthwise and cross joints: in horizontal application with swivel stop 90° ● with engaged router protection stop (29) ● with swivel stop (2) for variable spacing from the workpiece edge Routing resin galls This can be accomplished using a special routing tool (optional accessory). When using this tool for the first time, a slot of the appropriate width must be cut into the support shoe (6). To do this, install the special resin gall routing tool and push it all the way forward against the maximum routing depth stop. The routing tool will then machine a slot of the proper width into the support shoe (6). Special mortises S6 Mortise For joints with plate thicknesses of over 30 mm, such as door frames, stairs or bed frames, we recommend using S6 mortises and proceeding as follows. Set the routing depth on the adjusting wheel (1) to its maximum setting, and rout the groove as for standard mortises. Then rout another groove 10 mm offset from the first one. Tool care Make sure that only sharp, well-maintained routing tools are used. This will protect the motor and extend the service life of the machine. Carbide-tipped routers require particularly careful treatment, as the cutting edges break off easily. Damaged routers must not be used. H9 Mortise For frame joints and thin workpieces, we recommend using H9 mortises. For using this mortise, a special routing tool (optional accessory) is needed. Noise/vibration information Values measured in accordance with EN 50144. Noise level = 79.5+3 dB (A) Noise output = 92.5+3 dB (A) Working place-specific emission value = 82.5+3 dB (A). Attention! Before changing routing tools, always pull the mains plug or remove the mains cable module (17) from the router housing by releasing the locking button (18). Noise protection measures are required in the interests of the operator. The acceleration measured is typically lower than 2.5 m/s2.

Changing the router To change the routing tool, loosen the 4 countersunk screws (19) in the base plate (7) and remove them from the support shoe (6). Clamp the spindle (21) in place by pressing the push plate (20). The flanged nut (22) can be removed using a double-pin wrench. Remove the old routing tool (23). Centre the new routing tool on the flange nut (28) and fasten with the flange nut (22). Then reinstall the base plate. Attention! Observe the direction of rotation of the router! The routing depth must be checked; adjust as necessary. Adjusting routing depth To adjust the routing depth, set the adjusting wheel (1) to the maximum position. Then push the motor component of the mortise router forwards as far as it will go. Turn the routing tool (23) until a cutting tooth (24) has reached the forwardmost point on the circumference. Use a measuring rule to measure the routing depth at the routing tool (23). To correct the routing depth, loosen the nut (25) on the depth adjustment stop (26). Reset the routing depth by turning the depth adjustment stop (26) (1 revolution =

0.7 mm). Tighten the nut (25) to fix at the new setting.

Replacing carbon brushes Our service personnel will do this and all other servicing work quickly and professionally. Mains cable Damaged mains cables must not be used. They are to be replaced immediately. This has been made very straightforward by the new mains cable module (17). Press both locking keys (18) and pull the mains cable module (17) out of the handle. Insert the new mains cable into the handle and lock in place. Different lengthed mains cables are available as special accessories. Only use the mains cable module for KRESS power tools! Do not attempt to operate other electrical appliances with it! Motor Cleaning and Maintenance The powerful universal motor has adequate power reserves. To ensure that it has a long service life, blow the dust out of the blower after each use. Uniform ventilation is extremely important: always keep the ventilation holes clean and free of obstruction. The machine is permanently lubricated and, for the most part, maintenance free.
