OPERATION

23

See Figure 32

The edge of the workpiece that slides along fence must be
straight and true for best results. (Use scrap to test 
settings.)

1. With the router bit set at the required depth, place the

fence behind the bit at a distance determined by the
previous cut. Lower safety shield. 

2. Secure both clamping knobs.

3. Slide the workpiece against the fence. Adjust fence for

subsequent cuts.

NOTE: For deep work, make progressively deeper cuts
until you reach the correct depth. To avoid overloading
router, remove waste material as you go.

Fig. 32

3. Tighten the 4 knobs securely (see Figure 33).

NOTE: DO NOT let the fence slides touch the router bit.

Using ball-bearing-guided bits; 
veining, fluting and grooving

WARNING:

To help reduce the chance of injury, make sure the
fence is as close as possible to the ball-bearing-
guided bit. Move the fence back ONLY enough to 
permit the pilot to control the depth of cut.

Using adjustable fences

See Figure 33 and 34

The fence slides can be positioned closer to the router bit
to provide better support of the workpiece. 

To reposition the fence slides:

1. Loosen the 4 knobs (see Figure 33).

2. Reposition fence slides closer to the router bit. Leave a

3/16" gap (see Figure 34).
