II When routing deep cuts (controlled

by the router bit) in a work piece, remove material in increments to prevent your router from overloading. Repeat operation with several passes until the desired depth is achieved.

GROOVING, FLUTING, AND VEINING:

Always UNPLUG the router before making any settings or adjustments, or changing bits.

When routing, always feed AGAINST the rotation of the cutter. Feed work piece in the direction of the arrow in Figure 32.

For maximum accuracy, one edge of your work piece (edge sliding against fence) must be true and straight. Set up your fence as follows:

1. Position the fence behind the router bit for the desired cutting depth (the distance of the cut from the edge of the work piece, as shown in Figure 31). Make sure the overhead guard is in place.

2.SECURELY TIGHTEN both fence clamping knobs.

3.Make the cut by sliding the straight edge of the work piece against the fence, as shown in Figure 32. (For each successive cut, the fence will need to be adjusted.)

		I Test cut a scrap piece of wood

before making your finished cut.

END CUTTING USING THE FENCE WITH THE PUSH BLOCK

[,_WARNING] End cutting is performed with the

overhead guard rotated back so that it does not cover the router bit. Therefore, EXTREME CARE must be taken when end cutting so that fingers, hands, or any other parts of your body DO NOT contact the bit, which could result in serious bodily injury.

When routing on the ends of a work piece for making tenons, sliding dovetails, and tongue and groove joints, the work piece must be made smooth with both the edges and the ends made true to each other and its surfaces. All surfaces must be square, or at 9000with each other.
