OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROUTER
NOTICE: Arbor-type bits with pilots are excellent for shaping the edge of any workpiece that is
either straight or curved, if the curvature is at least as great as the radius of the bit to be used.
WARNING
• Always clamp the workpiece securely 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.
• 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.
13. Internal Routing
a. With the cutting depth set, tilt the router and
place it on the workpiece, with only the leading
edge of the sub-base (H) contacting the
workpiece.
b. Turn the motor "on" and allow the motor to
attain full speed, being careful not to allow the
cutter bit to contact the workpiece.
c. To begin the cut, gradually feed the cutter bit
into the workpiece until the sub-base is level
with the workpiece.
d. When the cut is completed, turn the motor "off"
and allow the cutter bit to come to a complete
stop before removing it from the workpiece.
e. Unplug the router from the power source, place
the router upside down on the worktable and inspect the finished cut.
WARNING
• Always clamp the workpiece securely and keep a firm grip on the router base with both.
Failure to do so could result in loss of control, causing possible serious personal injury.
