EDGE ROUTING (Figs. 17 and 17a)
1. With the depth-of-cut set, place the
router on the edge of workpiece, making
sure that the cutter does not contact the
workpiece. (With the plunge base, lock
the plunge action in the DOWN position,
ready to cut).
2. Have an edge guide (or a board or a metal
straightedge) clamped in place to help guide
router base when making the edge cut.
3. Turn the router "ON," and allow the router
motor to reach the selected speed.
4. To begin the cut, gradually feed the cutter
bit into the edge of the workpiece.
5. When the cut is complete, turn router
motor "OFF" and allow the cutter bit
come to a complete stop before removing
it from the workpiece.
6. Unplug the router from the power source,
and inspect the finished cut.
A_, WARNING: Always securely clamp your
workpiece and keep a firm grip on the router
base with both hands at all times. Failure to
do so could result in loss of control causing
possible serious personal injury.
_1, WARNING: Removing the cutter bit from
the workpiece while it is still rotating could
damage the workpiece and result in loss of
control, causing serious personal injury.
INTERNAL ROUTING WITH FIXED BASE

the workpiece first (Fig.18).
2. Turn the router motor "ON" and allow the
router motor to reach the selected speed,
being careful not to allow the cutter bit to
contact the workpiece.

cutter bit into the workpiece until the sub-
base is flush with the workpiece(see Fig
