A – Safety
Safety principle The bottom router conforms to current safety standards. Nevertheless, certain
risk factors will remain if the information contained in this instruction manual is not
observed.
No solid wood, hard wood or plastic may be processed.
Residual risk according to
DIN ISO EN 12100
■The bottom router is equipped with all the necessary protection features.
■However, some risk factors will remain for the user, particularly when removing
the protective equipment or when control units fail.
■Other risks are identified by warning signs and safety information. It is therefore
necessary to observe the safety information.
Foreseeable misuse

NOTE
■In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not
modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. lmproper connection of the equipment-

connection cable.
Connecting the dust extraction
system
➢Insert an extraction hose with an inner diameter of 50 mm (2") into the
dust extraction socket [9] and secure it.
Dust extraction socket [9] outer diameter 50 mm (2").
➢Ensure that the average air velocity for the dust extraction system
is at least 20 m/sec.

or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal. Check with a quahfied electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or
replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
■This bottom router is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks
like the one illustrated. The bottom router has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated. Make sure the bottom is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with
this bottom router. lf the bottom router must be reconnected for use on a different
type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service
personnel: and after reconnection. the bottom router should comply with all local
codes and ordinances.
■The outlet must be fitted with a PE protective contact.
■The outlet must have a m inimum 16 A fuse.
■After finishing work, disconnect the bottom router from the power supply.
■Avoid overloading the outlet.
■Do not use the bottom router together with an extension lead or cable drum.
■Use a separately protected outlet for the dust extraction system and bottom router.

Routing with wood stop [7]
for coated work pieces
Wood stop drawing [7]
The wood stop [7] prevents torn edges and edge bands. When processing backs, the
use of the wood stop [7] is strongly recommended.
The wood stop [7] is designed for small processing quantities and must therefore
frequently be replaced.
■The wood stop [7] is included loose.
■Spare part – part number: M35.ZT01 (10 pieces)
■For in-house production, the wood stop [7] must be pre-notched.
This will significantly improve the result of the processed work piece.
