Placing The Palm Router Onto The Workpiece And Starting The Cut; Detachable Two-Handle Base; Routing Circles And Arcs - Craftsman 320.28212 Operator's Manual

PLACING THE PALM ROUTER ONTO THE WORKPIECE AND STARTING
THE CUT
_, WARNING: Before operating your router, follow all safety instructions in this
manual. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: Making test cuts is essential with most routing applications.
A test cut gives information about the set-up, the router's speed, the depth of
cut, and how the cutting bit reacts to the workpiece. Much of routing is a trial-
and-error process of making various adjustments, followed by test cuts, as the
user becomes familiar with all of the router's operational abilities. To avoid ruining
good material, make test cuts on scrap materials.
