OPERATION
EDGE ROUTING
Place router on workpiece, making sure the router bit does
not contact workpiece. Turn router on and let motor build to
its full speed. Begin your cut, gradually feeding cutter into
workpiece.
WARNING:
Keep a firm grip on router with both hands at all times.
Failure to do so could result in loss of control leading to
possible serious injury.
Upon completion of cut, turn motor off and let it come to a
complete stop before removing router from work surface.
WARNING:
Never pull router out of work and place upside down on
work surface before the cutter stops.
ROUTING WITH STRAIGHT EDGE OF SUBBASE
See Figure 19.
The subbase on your router has a straight edge. It should be
used when placing your router against an edge guide or
fence and routing grooves parallel to the fence.
ROUTING GROOVES
See Figure 20.
When routing across the face of boards, set router at desired
depth of cut, place the edge of router base against workpiece,
and turn on your router. Slowly feed the cutter into the
workpiece along desired line of cut.
WARNING:
If desired depth of cut is greater than can be safely cut in
one pass, make cuts in two or more passes.
When routing straight cuts across stock, clamp a straight
edge to the workpiece to use as a guide. Position the
straightedge parallel to the line of cut and offset the distance
between the cutting edge of the cutter and the edge of the
router base. Hold the router base against the straightedge
and rout the groove.
When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the cutter,
clamp a straightedge on both sides of the cutlines. Position
both guides parallel to the desired line of cut and spaced
equal distances from the desired edges of the groove. Rout
along one guide; then, reverse direction and rout along the
other guide. Clean out any remaining waste in the center of
the groove freehand.
