When using piloted bits only part of the edge of the workpiece can be cut
since it is necessary to have the other part riding against the pilot.
WARNING: Never leave less than
1
… 8" of the workpiece to ride
against the pilot. Leaving less than
1
… 8" could cause the edge to
splinter possibly resulting in serious injury.
Adjust the right hand (in-feed) fence and guard assembly so that the top
guard completely covers the cutting area of the installed cutter.
Turn machine ON and allow it to come to full speed.
Place workpiece in first position (see Fig. 20). Using the starting pin as a support,
swing workpiece into cutter (second position Fig. 20). When cut is started, press
workpiece against piloted bit and swing workpiece away from starting pin. After
the cut is started the piloted bit acts as a guide and not the starting pin. Feed
workpiece against the direction of rotation of the cutter until complete edge is
shaped. Slide workpiece away from cutter and turn machine OFF .
