CUTTING APPLICATIONS
Consider the material that you are cutting and
the amount of material that will be removed
before using the tool. Make sample cuts on
scrap wood before cutting the actual work piece.
WARNING! Always clamp your work piece
securely before making any cuts.
The router bit rotates in a clockwise direction
when viewed from the top of the router. On
external edge treatments move the router
counter clockwise from left to right. -
