WARNING: Avoid "Climb-Cutting"
(cutting in direction opposite that
shown in Fig. 13). "Climb-Cutting
increases the chance for loss of
control resulting in possible
personal injury. When "Climb-
Cutting" is required (backing
around a corner), exercise extreme
caution to maintain control of
router.
The speed and depth of cut will depend
largely on the type of material being
worked upon. Keep the cutting pressure constant but do not crowd the
router so the motor speed slows excessively. It may be necessary on
exceptionally hard woods or problem materials to make more than one pass
at various settings to get the desired depth of cut.
When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, it is advisable to have
the first cut on the end of the piece across the grain. Thus, if chipping of
wood occurs at the end of a cut, it will be removed when making the next
cut parallel with the grain.
THE EDGE GUIDE
An edge guide is available as an accessory to aid in routing operations such
as: straight edge planing, parallel grooving, dado or slotting operations.
To assemble, insert the grooved end of the guide rods (W) Fig. 14, in holes
in base and secure with two screws (X). (NOTE: These screws should
engage the groove in the guide rod.) Slide the guide (Y) Fig. 14, onto the
rods, and adjust to the desired position. Secure with two thumb screws (Z).
TEMPLET GUIDES
A wide variety of templet guides are available for use in pattern and templet
routing operations, Fig. 15 shows a typical combination bit, templet guide,
and locknut.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
To install, insert templet guide in center hole in router base and secure in
place with the locknut.
