Protecting The Environment; Maintenance; Specifications - Black & Decker BDCMTR Instruction Manual

Using the router (Fig. D and E)
1. Make sure that the material to be cut is clamped
down and is stable enough to support the router
during operation.
2. Use both hands on the power unit to control the router,
and run the router at full speed at all times. See Fig.D.
3. Move the router counterclockwise when cutting outside
edges. Move clockwise when cutting inside edges.
See Fig. E.
Feeding Speed and Rate of Cut
Variation between materials and bit configurations dictates
a wide variety of feed rates. Experience is the best
measure for determining feed rate. Become familiar with
the sound and feel of the router by making practice cuts in
scrap material.
The router bit rotates at a very high speed and may heat
up if the router is moved too slowly through the wood and
cause burn marks. Feeding the router too fast or trying to
remove too much material in a single pass will overload
the motor. Use two or more passes for extra-large cuts
(over 1/8" deep), especially in hard woods.
Hints for optimum use
When working on outside edges, move the tool counter
clockwise (Fig. E). When working on inside edges, move
the tool clockwise.
f Use pilot (ball bearing) router bits for edge profile
cutting.
f Use HSS (high speed steel) router bits for softwood.
f Use TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) router bits for
hardwood.
f Not recommended for plunge cutting.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Separate collection. This product must not be
disposed of with normal household waste.
Should you find one day that your
BLACK+DECKER product needs replacement, or
if it is of no further use to you, do not dispose of it
with household waste. Make this product available
for separate collection.
Separate collection of used products and packaging
allows materials to be recycled and used again.
Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent
environmental pollution and reduces the demand
for raw materials. Local regulations may provide for
separate collection of electrical products from the
household, at municipal waste sites or by the
retailer when you purchase a new product.
