Routing Operations - Grizzly T33304 Owner's Manual

Routing Operations

Once the router bit is installed, the depth is
set, and the feed direction is determined, it
is time to start routing.
To perform routing operations:
1. Secure workpiece to a stable surface.
2. Place router flat on surface of
workpiece, making sure bit is not
touching workpiece.
3. Firmly grasp router (fixed base) or
handles (plunge base), turn tool ON,
and start router motor.
— If using plunge base, slowly push
down on router handles to initiate
cut.
Router will "kick" when started. If it
comes in contact with workpiece it
could jump out of your hands and
cause injury.
DO NOT start routing at a corner.
Starting at a corner may cause rout-
er to grab, damaging workpiece cor-
ner, and possibly causing injury.
4. Smoothly
move
rect feed direction along workpiece
(see Figure 15 on Page 18).
Note: Feed router along workpiece at
a consistent rate of speed. Be aware of
sound of router motor and sound of bit
cutting. If motor begins to bog down, or
sound pitch of router bit lowers, reduce
feed rate.
