5. Istruzioni per l'uso
5.1. Adjusting Routing Depth
The OF 1400 EBQ-Plus features a precise 1/10 mm depth adjustment system.
- Posizionare la fresatrice sul pezzo da lavorare.
- Release the plunge lock.
- Abbassare la fresatrice finché la punta non tocca la superficie del pezzo in lavorazione.
- Lock the plunge mechanism.
- Use the fine adjustment knob to set the desired routing depth. The scale provides accurate readings.
- For deeper cuts, it is recommended to make multiple passes, gradually increasing la profondità.

5.2. Accensione e spegnimento
- Connect the router to a suitable power outlet (230V).
- Per accendere, premere l'interruttore di alimentazione.
- To turn off, release the power switch. The quick brake system will rapidly stop the bit rotation.
5.3. Controllo della velocità
The router features variable speed control (10,000 - 22,500 min⁻¹) via the MMC electronic system. Adjust the speed according to the router bit diameter and the material being routed. Lower speeds are generally used for larger bits and harder materials.
5.4. General Routing Techniques
- Always move the router against the direction of bit rotation (climb cutting is generally not recommended for handheld routers).
- Maintain a steady, consistent feed rate. Avoid forcing the tool.
- Assicurarsi che il pezzo sia saldamente clamped.
- For edge routing, use the side stop or a guide rail for straight cuts.
