4. Smoothly move router in correct feed
direction along workpiece (see
Figure
11).
Once the router bit is installed, the depth is
set, and the feed direction is determined, it
is time to start routing.
To perform routing operations:
1. Secure workpiece to a stable surface.
2. Place router flat on surface of
workpiece, making sure that bit is not
touching workpiece.
3. Firmly grasp router (fixed base) or
handles (plunge base) and turn router
switch
ON (I).
— If using plunge base, slowly push
down on router handles to initiate
cut.
Routing Operations
Router will "kick" when started. If it
comes in contact with workpiece it
could jump out of your hands and
cause injury.
Note: Feed router along workpiece at
a consistent rate of speed. Be aware of
sound of router motor and sound of bit
cutting. If motor begins to bog down, or
sound pitch of router bit lowers, reduce
feed rate.
5. When finished routing, turn router
OFF, and allow it to come to a com-
plete stop before setting it down.
DO NOT start routing at a corner.
Starting at a corner may cause rout-
er to grab, damaging workpiece cor-
ner, and possibly causing injury.
2. Pass router across workpiece with bit
rotating opposite the feed direction,
as shown in
Figure 11. If cutters are
moving in same direction you are feed-
ing the router, you are performing a
“climb cut.” This is a very dangerous
operation because router could lunge
forward out of your hands, causing seri-
ous personal injury.
