3. The overlapping piece of laminate should
overlap the guiding piece by about 1/2".
(The overlapping sheet of laminate will then
pass over the aluminum plate and be cut at
the proper point by the router bit.)
4. Keep steady pressure on the tool so that the
guiding edge of the base remains in contact
with the fixed piece of laminate throughout
the operation. This is especially important at
the beginning and end of a cut.
5. It is also necessary to keep the laminate
pressed down tightly near the seam to keep
these chips from getting under the laminate.
This is especially important on larger pieces
of material. The optional PR007 Side
Handle Subbase includes a dust extraction
hood port that connects to a vacuum hose
and helps to keep chips from getting under
the laminate.
PR007 SIDE-HANDLE SUBBASE
(Available as optional accessory)
See PR007 instruction sheet for complete
information about this accessory.
The PR007 Side-Handle Subbase and Dust
Extraction Kit (Fig. 36) is a versatile accessory
that provides several useful features:
• Additional means of supporting the router
• Dust extraction and collection capability
PR007 Attachment to PR001 Fixed base
1. Remove regular subbase
2. Attach side handle subbase with the
panhead screws that are included with it.
Additional Means of Supporting
the Router
The knob handle on the PR007 subbase
provides an additional gripping point for the
palm router / side-handle subbase assembly. It
is designed for use when the palm routers are
being used in applications that are wide
enough that the knob sits over the workpiece.
Holding the knob and keeping it pressed down
over the workpiece helps keep the routers’
angle to the workpiece unchanged, and is
especially helpful when routing edges.
Attachment of PR006 Underscribe
Attachment
The PR006 Underscribe Attachment can also
be used with the palm router and the side-
handle subbase.
Note: When the underscribe attachment is
used with the side-handle subbase, the longer
set of attachment screws should be used.
Please refer to PR006 Underscribe
Attachment section for further instructions.
Dust Extraction & Collection Capability
If you have a shop vacuum system, you can
connect it to the PR007’s dust extraction
attachment to remove routing dust and debris
for enhanced utility, visibility and accuracy.
The dust collection capability of the PR007 can
be used in both common types of router
applications:
1. Routing on flat surfaces
2. Edge-forming
To reduce the risk of injury,
do not reach in area of the
bit while the router is ON or plugged in. To
avoid entangling hoses, do not use this
dust extraction hood at the same time as
any other dust extraction hood.
Dust Extraction when Routing on
Flat Surfaces
Attach the dust port on the back end of the
subbase.
1. Position the port on the backside of subbase
2. Affix using two thumbscrews included.
Dust Extraction when Edge-forming
Attach the dust hood and port on the back end
of the subbase.
1. Position the hood on the backside of
subbase
2. Position the port on the backside of the dust
hood.
3. Affix using two thumbscrews included.
Vacuum Hose Compatibility
The dust port is sized to accept 35mm vacuum
hoses. The PR007 includes the VAC002
adapter that will allow the port to be connected
to 1-1/4” and 1-1/2” vacuum hoses. An adapter
to connect the hood to 2-1/2" hoses is also
available separately.
