USING THE ROUTER
IMPORTANT: Before using your router, consider the kind and total
amount of material to be removed. Depending on the material, it may
be necessary to make more than one cut to avoid overloading the
motor. Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it is
advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will
show exactly how the cut will look as well as enable you to check
dimensions.
CAUTION: Always be sure the work is rigidly clamped or otherwise
secured before making a cut.
Generally speaking, when working on a bench, the workpiece should be held
on the bench by wood clamps. When routing edges, the router should be held
firmly down and against the work by both guiding knobs.
Since the cutter rotates clockwise (when viewing router from top), the router
should be moved from left to right as you stand facing the work (see Fig. 8).
When working on the inside of a templet, move router in clockwise direction.
When working on the outside of a templet, move router in a counterclockwise
direction.
