When making cuts on all four edges of
the workpiece, make the first cut on the
end of the piece across the grain. If
chipping of wood occurs at the end of a
cut, it will be removed when making the
next cut parallel with the grain.
Periodically wipe columns clean with a
dry cloth. DO NOT lubricate the columns.
THE EDGE GUIDE
An edge guide is available as an accessory to aid in routing operations such
as straight edge planing, parallel grooving, dado, or slotting operations.
To attach, insert guide rods (A) in holes in base Fig. 25, and secure with
screws (B). The guide (C) is adjusted on the rods and secured the desired
position with thumb screws (D).
TEMPLET GUIDES
A wide variety of templet guides is available for use in pattern and templet
routing operations. A typical combination bit, templet guide, and locknut are
illustrated in Fig. 264.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
To install, insert templet guide in center hole in router base and secure in
place with a locknut. Before connecting router to power source, install the
bit, adjust the depth of cut, and rotate the router chuck by hand to ensure
that bit or collet do not contact the templet guide.
