Direction Of Feed - Internal Cuts - Craftsman 320.2767 Operator's Manual

DIRECTION OF FEED - INTERNAL CUTS (Figs.14 and 14a)
When making an internal cut, such as a groove, dado, or slot, always have the
guide you are using with the router (edge guide, straight edge, or board guide),
on the right-hand side of the router as you make the cut. (Fig.14)
When the guide is positioned on the right hand side of the router, the router
travel should be from left to right and "counterclockwise" around curves (see
Fig. 14). This counterclockwise action
around the curve could cause "Climb Fig. 14 ¢U_OEOUTS_OE
cutting". Always be alert and exercise
extreme caution to maintain control of
the router when making this type of cut
around curves.
When the guide is positioned as shown
in Fig. 14a, the router travel should be
from left to right and clockwise around
curves.

Fig. 14a GUIDE INBIBE
If there is a choice, the set-up in Fig.
14 is easier to use, but there is the
possibility of "Climb Cutting" around
curves. In either case, Fig. 14 or Fig.
14a, the sideways thrust of the router
cutting is always against the guide, as is
proper.
_, WARNING: Always securely clamp
the workpiece in place, 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.
