The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on the type of workpiece. Keep the cutting pressure constant, but do not crowd the router so the motor speed slows excessively. More than one pass may be necessary on exceptionally hard woods or problem materials to get the desired depth of cut.
When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, make the first cut on the end of the piece across the grain. Thus, if chipping of wood occurs at the end of a cut, it will be removed when making the next cut parallel with the grain.
THE EDGE GUIDE
An optional Edge Guide is available to aid straight edge planing, parallel grooving, and dado or slotting operations.
To assemble, insert guide rods (A) in holes in base Fig. 6 and secure with screws
(B). Adjust the guide (C) on the rods and secure it with thumb screws (D).
TEMPLET GUIDES
A wide variety of templet guides is available for use in pattern and templet routing operations. Fig. 7 shows a typical combination bit, templet guide, and locknut.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
To install, insert templet guide in center hole of router base and secure in place with the locknut.
BEFORE CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE, install the bit, adjust the depth of cut, and rotate the router chuck by hand. Make sure that the bit or collet do not contact templet guide.
