manual BEFORE
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1.
Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit-
able for cutting.
2.
Adjusts fence boards close to the bit for maxi-
mum workpiece support, then secures the
fence boards in place.
3. Adjusts bit height for the desired cutting pro-
file.
4.
Adjusts fence position to establish the depth
of cut and makes sure that it is parallel with
the table T-slot.
5. Wears safety glasses and a respirator.
Locates push sticks or blocks if needed.
6. Verifies that direction of router bit rotation is
correct for the operation, and then starts the
router.
Important: For smaller workpieces or odd-
shaped workpieces, a zero-clearance fence
or jig is used.
7.
Holds workpiece firmly and flatly against the
table and fence, then pushes the workpiece
into the bit at a steady and controlled rate
until the workpiece moves completely beyond
the router bit.
Important: The operator is very careful to
keep the workpiece firmly against the table
and fence and hands away from the rotating
router bit, during the entire cut.
8. Stops the router.
