THE EDGE GUIDE
A wide variety of template guides is available for use in pattern and templet
routing operations. A typical combination bit, template guide, and locknut
are illustrated in Fig. 14.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
To install, insert the template guide in the center hole of the router base and
secure with the locknut.
Before connecting the router to the power source, install the bit, adjust
the depth of cut, and rotate the chuck by hand to confirm that the bit or
collet will not contact the template guide.
TEMPLATE GUIDES
An accessory edge guide is available to aid in straight edge planing, parallel
grooving, dado, or slotting operations.
To attach, insert the grooved end of the guide rods (W) Fig. 13, in holes in
base and secure with two screws (X). (NOTE: These screws should engage
the groove in the guide rod.) Slide the guide (Y) Fig. 13 on the rods, and
adjust to the desired position. Secure with the two thumb screws (Z).
