Grizzly H7507 owner manual GdjiZg IVWaZ

If you are unfamiliar with free-hand routing, get assistance from an experienced woodworker, read books on routing, and start with a simple project.

ALWAYS use an auxiliary jig and extreme care when free-hand routing that requires removal of the fence. Routing without the fence and the attached guard greatly increases the risk of accidental contact with the spinning cutter, causing serious personal injury.

To free-hand route:

1.DISCONNECT ROUTER FROM POWER!

2.Fabricate a jig to use with the workpiece that will match the finish shape desired, then attach it to the workpiece (see Figure 36 on the previous page for an example).

Note: Make sure any fasteners used will not make contact with the router bit during the cutting operation. Glue can be used as an alternative.

3.Remove the fence assembly from the table.

4.Fabricate and mount a custom guard over the bit that safely protects your hands from the spinning cutter.

5.Clamp a starting block to the table (see Figure 36 on the previous page for an exam- ple).

6.Install a router bit with a bearing as directed by the router manufacturer's instructions, then raise it to the desired height (see Figure 37).

7.Connect the router to power and turn it ON.

8.Rest the jig with the workpiece attached against the starting block, then slowly pivot and feed it into the bit. After the cut is started, move the jig against the rub collar and away from the starting block, as illustrated in Figure 35 on the previous page.
