PERFORMING A ROUTING OPERATION
See Figure 13,
• Read the entire 175100 Router Operator's Manual.
• Adjust the cutter guard so that it will not come in
contact with the workpiece or cutter during a cutting
operation.
• Adjust the infeed fence to support the uncut workpiece
and adjust the outfeed fence to support the workpiece
after the cut.
NOTE: The workpiece must always be tight against
the fence, unless you are using a ball-bearing piloted
cutter. Additionally, it may be necessary to remove the
center fence plate if using large cutters up to 2 1/4 in.
• Reconfirm that all router adjustments are securely
locked before connecting the router table to a power
source.
• Feed the workpiece from right to left with the cutter
located in the fence opening.
A
WARNING: The direction of feed for the workpiece
is always against the sharp edges of the cutter and
therefore into the rotation of the cutter. Failure to
feed the work into the cutter correctly can result in
serious personal injury.
A
WARNING: When operating the router with the
router table, the router must only be plugged into
and controlled by the router table switched outlet.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never
connect the table mounted router into another power
source.
