3.The overlapping piece of laminate should overlap the guiding piece by about 1/2". (The overlapping sheet of laminate will then pass over the aluminum plate and be cut at the proper point by the router bit.)

4.Keep steady pressure on the tool so that the guiding edge of the base remains in contact with the fixed piece of laminate throughout the operation. This is especially important at the beginning and end of a cut.

5.It is also necessary to keep the laminate pressed down tightly near the seam to keep these chips from getting under the laminate. This is especially important on larger pieces of material. The optional PR007 Side Handle Subbase includes a dust extraction hood port that connects to a vacuum hose and helps to keep chips from getting under the laminate.

PR007 SIDE-HANDLE SUBBASE (Available as optional accessory)

See PR007 instruction sheet for complete information about this accessory.

The PR007 Side-Handle Subbase and Dust Extraction Kit (Fig. 35) is a versatile accessory that provides several useful features:

Additional means of supporting the router

Dust extraction and collection capability

PR007 Attachment to Palm Router

1.Remove regular subbase

2.Attach side handle subbase with the panhead screws that are included with it.

Additional Means of Supporting

the Router

The knob handle on the PR007 subbase provides an additional gripping point for the palm router / side-handle subbase assembly. It is designed for use when the palm routers are being used in applications that are wide enough that the knob sits over the workpiece. Holding the knob and keeping it pressed down over the workpiece helps keep the routers’ angle to the workpiece unchanged, and is especially helpful when routing edges.

Attachment of PR006 Underscribe

Attachment

The PR006 Underscribe Attachment can also be used with the palm router and the side- handle subbase.

Note: When the underscribe attachment is used with the side-handle subbase, the longer set of attachment screws should be used.

Please refer to PR006 Underscribe Attachment section for further instructions.
