Operation

After setting the cutting depth as described, locate the router such that the bit is directly over the place you will be cutting. With the router running, lower the unit smoothly down into the workpiece. (DO NOT JAM THE ROUTER DOWN). When the tool reaches the pre-set depth, tighten the plunge lock. When you have finished routing, loosen the plunge lock and let the spring lift the router directly out of the workpiece.

NOTE: Always feed the router opposite to the direction in which the cutter is rotating.

Direction Of Feed

Figs. 8 and 9 show proper direction of feed for some typical cuts.

Mold the outside edge of a piece of stock by a) mold the end grain, left to right, b) do the straight grain side moving left to right, c) finish the other end grain side, and d) do the remaining straight grain edge.

The direction of feed is important in router usage. Be sure the cutter is rotating into the stock by moving left to right on outside edges and clockwise on inside cuts.

Dust Collection and Extraction

1.Unplug router from power supply.

2.If required, insert the dust extraction hose adapter into the dust extraction port (Fig. 10).

2.Slip the end of any standard vacuum cleaner tube into the hose adapter.

3.When using dust extraction, be sure that the vacuum cleaner is out of the way and secure so that it will not tip over or interfere with the router or workpiece. The vacuum hose and power cord must also be positioned so that they don't interfere with the router or
