Using ball-bearing-guided bits;
veining, fluting and grooving

See Figure 29
The edge of the workpiece that slides along fence must be
straight and true for best results. (Use scrap to test
settings.)
1. With the router bit set at the required depth, place the
fence behind the bit at a distance determined by the
previous cut. Lower safety shield.
2. Secure both clamping knobs.
3. Slide the workpiece against the fence. Adjust fence for
subsequent cuts.
NOTE: For deep work, make progressively deeper cuts
until you reach the correct depth. To avoid overloading
router, remove waste material as you go.

Routing without safety shield, and/or fence
Some jobs require that you rotate the safety shield out of
the way and remove the fence.
Using the router without the safety shield and fences
in place can lead to serious personal injury. Use
extreme caution: Operate the router without safety
shields and fences ONLY when absolutely necessary,
and with ballbearing-guided-type router bits.
Inside routing

1. Place your workpiece on the tabletop relative to the

the arrow. Always feed against the router bit’s direction
of rotation.
