WARNING: Avoid “Climb-Cutting” (cutting in direction opposite that
shown in Fig. 8), “Climb-Cutting” increases the chance for loss of
control resulting in possible personal injury. When “Climb-Cutting” is
required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain
control of router.
The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on the type of material being
worked upon. Keep the cutting pressure constant but do not crowd the
router so the motor speed slows excessively. It may be necessary on
exceptionally hard woods or problem materials to make more than one pass
at various settings to get the desired depth of cut.
When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, it is advisable to have
the first cut on the end of the piece across the grain. Thus, if chipping of wood
occurs at the end of a cut, it will be removed when making the next cut parallel
with the grain.
THE EDGE GUIDE
An Edge Guide is available as an accessory to aid in routing operations such
as: straight edge planing, parallel grooving, dado or slotting operations.
To assemble, insert guide rods (A) in holes in base, Fig. 9 and secure with
screws (B). The guide (C) is adjusted on the rods and secured in desired
position with thumb screws (D).
TEMPLET GUIDES
A wide variety of templet guides are available for use in pattern and templet
routing operations. Fig. 10 shows a typical combination bit, templet guide,
and locknut.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT ROUTER FROM POWER SOURCE.
To install, insert templet guide in center hole in router base and secure in place
with the locknut.
BEFORE CONNECTING ROUTER TO POWER SOURCE: Install bit, adjust
depth of cut, and rotate router chuck by hand to be sure bit or collet do not
contact templet guide.
