POINTS TO NOTE BEFORE STARTING
• Ensure that the bit is sharp. Blunt tools cannot produce good quality work, and increase the risk of a kickback and machine overload.
• Advance the bit evenly and at a moderate pace to ensure longer bit life and to protect against overloads.
• Cut long sockets in stages if necessary to avoid any buildup of chips.
• After installation of a new milling bit make sure that it turns easily in the milling position.
• Check the operation and setting of the tool on a sample piece before using on good wood.
• Make sure both pieces of wood to be joined are perfectly flat by placing them against one another. Warped wood will cause an
unsatisfactory joint.
