Changing Baseplates
A variety of optional baseplates are available for the router
with a full range from narrow to wide openings. Typically,
you want to use a baseplate with an opening slightly larger
than the diameter of the router bit. Router baseplates can
be changed in seconds without needing any tools.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, unplug
the router when working near an exposed router
bit.
Note: New baseplates, including the standard
baseplate with the router, have a protective film
covering the fiber-plastic base. This film should
be removed before using the baseplate.
► To remove the baseplate, rotate the baseplate release
lever.
► To install the baseplate, insert the hinge tabs into the
slots at the back of the router and snap the baseplate
closed.
Installing Template Guides and Chip Deflector
The Chip Deflector is used during edge routing to help
contain flying chips and dust.
Template guides (also known as copy rings) are used to
control the position of the router relative to an external
pattern or template. This permits you to follow an external
pattern even if the router bit does not have a guide
bearing (refer to “
Using a Template Guide” on page 14).
The OF 2200 EB router package may include either a
standard Festool copy ring, a universal template guide
adapter, or both. The
template guide adapter
allows you to use
universal guides from
other manufacturers
with your Festool
router.
The function of the
Festool copy ring and
the universal template
guide adapter are the
same, except with the
universal guide adapter
you provide the
template guide. This allows you to use template guides
that you already own with your Festool router.
To install the chip deflector or template guide, remove the
baseplate and insert the deflector or guide in the center,
and then reinstall the baseplate.
