Edge
Cutting
With
Piloted
Router
Bits:
1. Position
the fence
in the same
manner
as with
non-piloted
bits.
2. Move the fence back only enough
to permit
the
pilot to control the cutting
depth•
Positioning
the fence
as close to the pilot as possible
will serve as a back-
up and will help to prevent
chances
of an accident
and possible
personal
injury. See Figure 28.

Grooving,
Fluting, And Veining:
Always UNPLUG the router before making any
settings, adjustments, or changing bits.
When routing, always FEED AGAINST the rotation
of the cutter. Feed workpiece in the direction of
arrow, as in Figure 28.
For maximum accuracy, one edge of your workpiece
(edge sliding against the fence) must be true and
straight. Set up your fence as follows:
1. Position the fence behind the router bit for the
desired cutting depth (the distance of the cut from
the edge of the workpiece, as shown in Figure 29).
Make sure the overhead guard is in place as shown.
2. Securely TIGHTEN both knobs.
3. Make the cut by sliding the straight edge of workpiece
against the fence, as shown in Figure 30 (For each
successive cut, the fence would need to be readjusted.)

THE PUSH BLOCK
I,_WARNINGJ
End cutting
is performed
with the
overhead

the bit. Therefore,
EXTREME
CARE
must
be
taken
when
end cutting
so that your fingers,
hands,
or any other part of your body,
DO NOT contact
the
bit, which
can resulT, in serious
bodily
injury.
