SECTION 3: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the
machine controls/components
discussed later
in this manual
are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual and
seek additional training from expe
-
rienced
machine operators, and do additional
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting.
2. Adjusts the fence boards close to the bit for
maximum workpiece support, then secures
the fence boards in place.
3. Adjusts the bit height for the desired cutting
profile.
4. Adjusts the fence position to establish the
depth of cut and makes sure that it is parallel
with the table T-slot.
5. Wears safety glasses and a respirator.
Locates push sticks or blocks if needed.
6. Verifies that the direction of router bit rotation
is correct for the operation, and then starts
the router.
Important: For smaller workpieces or odd-
shaped workpieces, a zero-clearance fence
or jig is used.
7. Holds the workpiece firmly and flatly against
the table and fence, then pushes the workpiece
into the bit at a steady and controlled rate
until the workpiece moves completely beyond
the router bit.
Important: The operator is very careful to
keep the workpiece firmly against the table
and fence and hands away from the rotating
router bit, during the entire cut.
8. Stops the router.
