USING THE ROUTER

IMPORTANT: Before using your router, consider the kind and total amount of material to be removed. Depending on the workpiece, more than one cut may be necessary to avoid overloading the motor. Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber to show exactly how the cut will look, as well as enable you to check dimensions.

Always be sure that 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. 5). When working on the inside of

Fig. 5

a templet, move router in clockwise

 

direction. When working on the outside of a templet, move router in a counterclockwise direction.

Avoid “Climb-Cutting” (cutting in direction opposite that shown in Fig. 5). “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 workpiece. Keep the cutting pressure constant, but do not crowd the router so the motor speed slows excessively. More than one pass may be necessary on exceptionally hard woods or problem materials to get the desired depth of cut.

When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, make 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 optional Edge Guide is available to aid straight edge planing, parallel grooving, and dado or slotting operations.

To assemble, insert guide rods (A) in holes in base Fig. 6 and secure with screws

(B). Adjust the guide (C) on the rods and secure it with thumb screws (D).
