Direction Of Feed
The router motor and therefore the
cutter, revolves in a clockwise
direction. This gives the tool a tendency
to twist anticlockwise in your hands,
particularly when starting the tool.
The Router should always be moved
from
left to right
as you are facing the
workpiece see Fig.10.
Feed Rate
The rate at which the router is moved across the material has a significant effect on the
quality of cut and the length of service you will get from your router and cutters.
Moving too fast through the cut could overload and damage the cutter, causing a rough
and uneven finish.
Moving too slowly, tends to cause burning of the material and if excessive, will cause the
cutter to overheat, therefore blunting and shortening its expected life.
The proper feed rate to use depends on the cutter size, the material being cut, the depth
of the cut and the speed selected.
With all these variables, the surest way to ensure that you get the best quality and efficiency
of cut, is to practice on a piece of scrap of the same material to get a feel for what feed
rate to use. This will also show you exactly how the cut will look and allow you to check the
cutting depth.
General
1.
Always ensure the workpiece is firmly secured.
2.
Place router on the workpiece with the cutter in the position to be cut, e.g. cutter
just in front of start position - for edge profiling, and the guide firmly pushed up to edge
of the work.
3.
With the router held firmly, pull and hold the plunge locking lever then push down on
the plunger body fully....the depth stop should be pre-set. At this point, release the
plunge locking lever, and tighten to lock the cutter at its predetermined depth.
4.
Switch the router on by pushing the safety button IN - see Fig.1, and pulling the ON/OFF
trigger switch. Allow the motor to reach full speed. (The speed controller is located on
the top of the router (see Fig. 1), The higher the number the greater the speed. See
Cutter Speed Selection on page 12. Proceed to feed the cutter into the workpiece.
To stop the Router, simply release the trigger.
