Using the Starter Pin
Use of a Starter Pin is required when you’re not using the
fence on your router table to feed your workpiece into the
bit. Stock is most vulnerable to catching and being thrown
at the beginning of the cut, before it engages the router
bit’s guide bearing. Install the Starter Pin, which consists
of a round-head bolt through a non-marring plastic sheath,
into the mounting hole in the Pro Lift Plate. Then use the
Starter Pin as a fulcrum to feed your workpiece into the bit.
Be sure the pin is screwed in tightly before use.

>
If attempting to rout a workpiece without using the router
table fence, always use the included Starter Pin to begin
the cut. Failure to do so could result in dangerous
workpiece kickback and serious injury.
> Use the Starter Pin ONLY with bearing-guided router bits.
Use with other bits could result in serious injury.
