2.1 General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, in structions, illustrations and specifica tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

2.2 Machine-specific safety notices

– Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the pow er tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. – Use clamps or another practical way to se cure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. – Only cutters provided by Festool for this purpose may be mounted on the power tool. The use of other cutters is prohibited due to the increased risk of injury. – The maximum rotational speed specified on the tool must not be exceeded or the rotational speed range must be observed. Accessories that rotate faster than the per missible level can rupture. – Wait until the power tool has come to a complete halt before placing it down. The insertion tool can get caught and lead to a loss of control of the power tool. – In the case of materials to be processed which can become statically charged or lead to static charging, a dissipative overall system consisting of an antistatic suction hose (AS) and extraction mobile must be used. English 15– Do not clamp tools with an unsuitable shank diameter in the clamping collet. – Only use tools that meet standard EN 847-1. All Festool routing tools fulfill these requirements. – Ensure that the router bit is seated firmly and that it runs perfectly. – The clamping collet and locking nut must not show any signs of damage – Do not use cracked or deformed router bits.

Wear suitable personal protective equip ment: Ear protection, protective goggles, dust mask for work that generates dust, protective gloves for working with rough materials and for changing tools. – Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be supplied via residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

2.3 Sawing aluminium

When sawing aluminium, the following meas ures must be taken for safety reasons: – Install an upstream residual-current circuit breaker (RCD, PRCD). – Connect the power tool to a suitable dust extractor with an antistatic suction hose. – Regularly clean dust deposits from the mo tor housing on the power tool. – Wear protective goggles.

The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically: Sound pressure level L

= 106 dB(A) Uncertainty K = 3

CAUTION Noise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing ► Use ear protection. Vibration emission level a

(vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 62841:

The specified emission levels (vibration, noise) – are used to compare machines. – They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise load during operation. – They represent the primary applications of the power tool. CAUTION The emission values may deviate from the specified values. This is dependent on how the tool is used and the type of workpiece being machined. ► The actual load during the entire operating cycle must be evaluated. ► Depending on the actual load, suitable pro tective measures must be defined in order to protect the operator. 3 Intended use The router is designed for routing wood, plas tics and wood-based materials. If the cutters are used for the intended purpose outlined in the Festool Sales, they may also be used to machine aluminium and plasterboard. This power tool may only be used by experts or instructed persons. The user is liable for improper or non-in tended use. 4 Technical data Router OF 1400 EBQ OF 1400 EQ Power consumption 1400 W Speed 10,000–22,500 rpm Max. speed (no-load) 23,000 rpm Quick depth adjustment 70 mm Fine depth adjustment 8 mm Drive shaft connecting thread M22 x 1.0 cutter diameter Max. 63 mm Weight as per EPTA pro cedure 01:2014:

3–1 2–1 1 HSS (HW) Plaster board 2–1 1 1 HW Temperature cut-out The power supply is restricted and the speed reduced if the motor exceeds a certain temper ature. The power tool continues operating at re duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the motor quickly. The power tool starts up again automatically once the motor has cooled suffi ciently. Restart protection The built-in restart protection prevents the power tool from starting up again automatically if the power is disconnected when the on/off switch is pressed. In this case, the power tool must be switched off and then switched back on again. Due to the built-in restart protection, the power tool cannot be switched on and off via an exter nal switch module. English 17Brake The OF 1400 EBQ has an electronic brake which brings the spindle with tool to a standstill within approx. 2 seconds of the tool being switched off.

CAUTION Risk of injury from hot and sharp insertion tool ► Do not use any blunt or faulty insertion tools. ► Wear protective gloves when handling an insertion tool. To change tools, turn the power tool upside down. Inserting the tool ► Insert the routing tool into the open collet as far as possible or at least up to the mark on the router shank. If the collet [3A-2] cannot be seen due to the union nut [3A-3], the routing tool [3A-1] must be inserted into the collet to the extent that the mark no longer projects beyond the union nut. ► Press the switch [1-14] for the spindle stop on the right-hand side. ► Tighten the nut [1-15] using an open ended spanner (WAF 24). The spindle stop only jams the motor spin dle in one direction of rotation. Therefore, there is no need to use a spanner for tight ening and loosening nuts. Instead, a ratch et can be moved backwards and forwards. Removing the tool ► Press the switch [1-14] for the spindle stop on the left-hand side. ► Undo the nut [1-15] using an open ended spanner (WAF 24) until you can feel resist ance. Overcome the resistance by continu ing to turn the open ended spanner. ► Remove the router.

7.3 Changing the collets

Collets are available for the following shaft di ameters: 6.0 mm; 6.35 mm; 8.0 mm; 9.53 mm;

10.0 mm; 12.0 mm; 12.7 mm (See Festool cata

logue or online at www.festool.com for the or der numbers) ► Completely unscrew the nut [1-15] and re move it together with the collet. ► Only insert a new collet into the spindle if a nut is fitted and engaged. ► Gently screw in the nut. Do not tighten the nut if no cutter is inserted.

7.4 Setting the routing depth

The routing depth is set in three steps:

► Release the clamp lever [1-6] so that the depth stop [1-7] can move freely. ► Position the router with the router ta ble [1-9] on a level surface. Open the rotary knob [1-5] and push the power tool down wards until the cutter sits on the surface. ► Clamp the power tool in this position by closing the rotary knob [1-5]

► Press the depth stop [1-7] against one of the three fixed stops of the rotatable step ped stop [1-8]

A screwdriver can be used to individually adjust the height of each fixed stop. ► Push the indicator [1-3] downwards so that it points to 0 mm on the scale. If the zero position is incorrect, this can be corrected using the screw [1-2] on the in dicator [1-3].

► Set the required routing depth by turning the adjusting wheel [1-4]. Turning the adjusting wheel by a mark changes the routing depth by 0.1 mm. A full rotation changes the routing depth by 1 mm. The maximum adjustment range for the adjusting wheel is 8 mm. English

187.7 Clamping the routing depth

► Open the rotary knob [1-5] and push the power tool down until the depth stop touch es the fixed stop. ► Clamp the power tool in this position by closing the rotary knob [1-5].

WARNING Heath hazard posed by dust ► Always work with an extractor. ► Comply with national regulations. ► Install the dust extraction attachment on the router table: ▷ Position the dust-extraction attachment with the two tenons [3-1] in the recess

[3-2] on the router table. ▷ Position the dust-extraction attachment on the router table and pull the lev er [3-5]. To enable the dust-extraction attachment to be attached and removed when the router is fitted, the cut-out [3-3] in the ex tractor connector can be opened by turn ing the segment [3-4]. To ensure optimal dust extraction, the cut- out with the rotatable segment must be closed while work is carried out. 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 connec tor [3-6]. CAUTION! If an anti-static suction hose is not used, static charge may occur. The user may receive an electric shock and the electronics of the power tool may be damaged. Chip deflector KSF-OF The chip deflector KSF-OF (available as an ac cessory depending on the model) can improve the efficiency of the dust extraction system when edge routing. The chip deflector is installed in the same way as the copying ring, see figure [8]

A hacksaw can be used to cut along the grooves of the guard and therefore make it smaller. The chip deflector can then be used for inner radii down to a minimum radius of 40 mm. 8 Working with the electric power tool When working on the machine, observe all of the safety warnings that are listed at the start as well as the following rules: – Only guide the power tool towards the workpiece when it is switched on. – Always secure the workpiece in such a way that it cannot move during machining. – When working, always hold the power tool with both hands on the handles [1-5] + [1-11]. This is a prerequisite for precise work and is essential for plunge-cutting. Plunge into the workpiece slowly and even ly. – When routing, ensure that the power tool's feed direction is the same as the tool's cut ting direction, see figure [9]

8.1 Freehand routing

Freehand routing is the method normally used for lettering or shapes, and for routing edges using cutters with a guide pin or ring.

8.2 Routing with a parallel side fence

For work running parallel to the workpiece edge, the supplied parallel side fence [4-9] can be used. ► Clamp the two guide rods [4-2] to the paral lel side fence using the two rotary knobs [4-4]

► Insert the guide rods into the grooves of the router table to the required extent and clamp them using the rotary knob [4-5]

Fine adjustment ► Open the rotary knob [4-6] to make a fine adjustment using the adjusting wheel [4-8]

The scale ring [4-7] has a 0.1 mm scale for this purpose. If the adjusting wheel is held, the scale ring can be turned separately so that it can be set to zero. The scale [4-1] displays the adjustment in millimetres. ► Close the rotary knob [4-6] after making a fine adjustment. ► Set the two guidance jaws [4-3] [5-1] so that they are approx. 5 mm from the cutter. To do this, loosen the screws [5-2] and re tighten them after making an adjustment. ► As shown in figure [5], push the dust-ex traction attachment [5-4] from behind until it engages on the parallel side fence. English 19An extractor hose with a diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm should be connected at the extractor connector [5-3].

8.3 Routing with the FS guide system

The guide system (available as an accessory) makes it easier to route straight grooves. ► Secure the guide rail adapter [6-1] to the router table using the guide rods [6-8] of the parallel side fence. ► Secure the guide rail [6-3] to the workpiece using fastening clamps [6-4]

Ensure that there is a safety distance X of (see figure [6]) 5 mm between the front edge of the guide rail and the cutter, or the groove. ► Place the guide rail adapter on the guide rail, as shown in figure [6] . To ensure that the router stop can be guided without play, use a screwdriver through the top open ings [6-2] on the side to adjust the two guidance jaws. ► Tighten the height-adjustable support [6-6] on the threaded hole of the router table so that the underside of the router table is par allel to the workpiece surface. When working with marking-up lines, the marks on the platen [6-5] and the scale on the support [6-6] show the centre axis of the cutter. Fine adjuster The fine adjuster (available as an accesso ry, [7-5]) can be used to precisely adjust dis tance X. ► Install the fine adjuster [7-5] on the guide rods between the power tool and the guide rail adapter [7-4]

► Insert the adjusting wheel [7-2] into the guide rail adapter, as shown in the fig ure [7]. ► Screw the adjusting wheel [7-2] into the nuts of the fine adjuster. To adjust distance X: ► Open the rotary knob [7-1] for the guide rail adapter and close the rotary knob [7-3] for the fine adjuster. ► Adjust to required distance X by turning the adjusting wheel [7-2]. ► Close the rotary knob [7-1] for the guide rail adapter.

A copying ring or the copying device is used to exactly reproduce existing workpieces (acces sories). Copying ring When choosing the size of the copying ring, en sure that the cutter being used fits through its opening. Excess Y (figure [9]) of the workpiece to the template is calculated as follows: Y = (copying ring diameter - cutter diameter)/2 ► Attach the copying ring [8-1] to the router table: Insert the two tenons [8-2] into the recesses [8-3]. ► To remove the copying ring: Press the two buttons [1-16] inwards at the same time. Copying device The copying device requires the angle arm WA- OF [10-2] and the copier scanning set KT-OF, consisting of a roller support [10-6] and three copying rollers [10-7]. ► Use the rotary knob [10-3] to tighten the angle arm to the required height on the threaded hole [10-1]

► Fit a copying roller to the roller support and use the rotary knob [10-5] to tighten it on the angle arm. Make sure that the copying roller and the router have the same diame ter. ► The distance between the feeler roller and the cutter axis can be adjusted by turning the adjusting wheel [10-4]. 9 Service and maintenance WARNING Risk of injury, electric shock ► Always pull the mains plug from the socket before performing any servicing and main tenance work. ► All maintenance and repair work which re quires the housing to be opened should al ways be carried out by an authorised serv ice workshop.
