OVERLOAD PROTECTION
MODEL 8529 is equipped with a current sensing-type overload protector built
into the variable speed control. This device will "trip" and turn the motor off if
it experiences prolonged overloading. To restart the motor, move the "ON-
OFF" switch to the "OFF" position, and then move it back to the "ON"
position.
USING THE ROUTER
Periodically wipe columns clean with a dry cloth. DO NOT lubricate columns.
IMPORTANT
Before using your router, consider the kind and total
amount of material to be removed. Depending on the
material, more than one cut may be necessary to avoid
overloading the motor. Before beginning the cut on the
actual workpiece, make a sample cut on a piece of scrap
lumber to show exactly how the cut will look as well as
allowing the dimensions to be checked.
When through-cutting, be sure there is clearance under
workpiece for router bit.
Always be sure the work is rigidly clamped or otherwise
secured before making a cut.
Generally speaking, when working on a bench,use clamps to hold the
workpiece. When routing edges, hold the router firmly down and against the
work by both handles.
Since the cutter rotates clockwise (when viewing router from top), more
efficient cutting will be obtained if the router is moved from left to right as you
stand facing the work. When working on the inside of a templet, move router
in clockwise direction.
When working on the outside of a templet, move router in a counter-clockwise
direction.
Avoid "Climb-Cutting" (cut-ting in direction opposite that
shown in Fig. 21). "Climb-Cutting increases the chance for
loss of control resulting in possible personal injury. When
"Climb-Cutting" is required (backing around a corner),
exercise extreme caution to maintain control of the router.
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 at various
settings on hardwoods or problem materials
may be necessary 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 .
