SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

Test Run

!Disconnect power to themachine when perform-

ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire operation process. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.

Always wear a dust mask when operating the H2854. Using this machine produces saw- dust which may cause allergic reactions or res- piratory problems.

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine.

Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. The machine should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing nois- es. Strange or unnatural noises should be investi- gated and corrected before operating the machine further.

If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our service department for help.

General

There are an endless number of operations that can be performed with the use of this router. The Model H2854 is supplied with several attach- ments that can greatly increase the productive- ness of the tool. These will be explained further along in the manual.

Once the bit has been selected and installed properly, and the depth stop has been set cor- rectly (see Section 5: Adjustments), you need to determine the proper feed direction of the router across the workpiece:

1.Examine the top face of workpiece you intend to route and determine the direction of the grain. Always feed the router so the bit is cutting with the grain (cutting along the growth rings as shown in Figure 11). Cutting against the grain chips the wood rather than cutting it, and makes for a rougher surface with more “chip out”.
