EDGE ROUTING (Figs. 24, 24a and 24b)

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).

(or a board or a metal
straightedge) clamped
in place to help guide
router's 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 cutting bit into
the edge of the workpiece.
5. When the cut is complete,
turn router motor "OFF"
and allow the cutting bit
come to a complete stop
before removing it from
the workpiece.
6. Unplug the router from the
power source, place the
fixed base or D-handle
base and router upside
down on a worktable, and
inspect the finished cut.
Place the plunge router
on worktable, and inspect
finished cut in workpiece.
WARNING: Always
securely clamp the workpiece
in place, and keep a firm grip
on the router base with both
hands at all times. Failure to
