Note: The Router bit should always be fed
into the stock from left to right so as
to match the clockwise rotation of the
router. When cutting outside edges,
rotate the router counterclockwise.
Rotate it clockwise when cutting in-
side edges.
Note: Make practice cuts at different
speeds in scrap material until you are
able to produce a smooth cut with no
burnishing or burn marks. Burn marks
are caused by moving too slowly
through the wood. Feeding the Rout-
er too quickly, or trying to remove too
much material in a single pass cre-
ates a rough cut and can overload
the motor.
Set the desired speed by turning the 1.
Speed Adjuster (4). Use lower set-
tings for large diameter bits and high-
er settings for small diameter bits.

point you plan to cut. Verify that there
are no obstructions in the cutting
path.
