Operation
Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery causing seri- ous personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.
Projectiles thrown from the machine could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses during assembly.
Routing operations on your Model H3114 are grouped into three main techniques:
•Jointing an edge (Page 14)
•Groove cutting (Page 15)
•Profile cutting with pilot bits (Page 16)
Jointing an edge:
Jointing the edge of a board involves using a straight cutting router bit to remove wood from the edge face of a board. The result is a perfectly flat and square edge used as the glue edge when gluing multiple boards together to form a larger panel.
1.Secure a straight cutting router bit into your router according to the router manufacturer’s instructions.
2.Snap one of the table inserts into the recessed hole on the table. Use the insert with the smallest hole that still allows the bit free rotation.
3.Raise the bit to a height equal to that of the thickness of your board.
4.Loosen the threaded knob on the pocket jointing fence and slide the pocket jointing fence from the main fence to the desired depth of cut (Figure 19). Tighten the thread- ed knob when adjusted correctly.

5.Loosen the threaded knobs that secure the main fence.
6.Place a straightedge across the entire face of the pocket jointing fence and adjust the main fence until the outside diameter of the router bit just touches the straightedge (Figure 20).
