3.Tighten the knobs securing the fence in place.

4.Swing the safety shield over the router bit.

5.Your router/router table is now ready to use.

WARNING:

Feed workpiece against the router bit's direction of rotation. Unplug router prior to changing the bit, modifying settings, or making any other adjustments.

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

WARNING:

To help reduce the chance of injury, make sure the fence is as close as possible to the ball-bearing- guided bit. Move the fence back ONLY enough to permit the pilot to control the depth of cut.

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.

WARNING:

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

See Figure 30

1.Place your workpiece on the tabletop relative to the router bit.

2.Feed your workpiece through the bit in the direction of the arrow. Always feed against the router bit’s direction of rotation.
