-12- H2854 1 H.P. Variable Speed Plunge Router
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run
the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. The machine should run
smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing nois-
es. Strange or unnatural noises should be investi-
gated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an
unusual noise or vibration, contact our service
department for help.
There are an endless number of operations that
can be performed with the use of this router. The
Model H2854 is supplied with several attach-
ments that can greatly increase the productive-
ness of the tool. These will be explained further
along in the manual.
Once the bit has been selected and installed
properly, and the depth stop has been set cor-
rectly (see Section 5: Adjustments), you need to
determine the proper feed direction of the router
across the workpiece:
1. Examine the top face of workpiece you
intend to route and determine the direction
of the grain. Always feed the router so the bit
is cutting with the grain (cutting along the
growth rings as shown in Figure 11). Cutting
against the grain chips the wood rather than
cutting it, and makes for a rougher surface
with more “chip out”.
Test Run
General
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance,
assembly or adjust-
ments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
!
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire operation
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.

mask when operating
the H2854. Using this
