Operation Overview
This overview outlines the basic process that hap- pens during an operation with the router table. Familiarize yourself with this process to better understand the remaining parts of the Operation section.
To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:
1.Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable for cutting, and ensures the router is correctly mounted.
2.Adjusts the bit height for the desired cutting profile.
3.Adjusts the fence position to establish the depth of cut.
4.Verifies that the fence boards are close enough to the bit for maximum workpiece support. Adjusts the board positions or modi- fies their thickness as needed.
5.Wears safety glasses and a respirator, and locates push sticks if needed.
6.If using a reversible router, verifies that the direction of spindle rotation is correct.
7.Starts the router.
