OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
MAKING CUTS
DEEP CUTS
The proper cutting depth for each pass is always determnined
by the material, the cutting bit size, and the type and power of
the motor. Always make several, progressively deeper cuts by
starting at one depth and then making several more passes,
each time increasing the cutting depth until the desired depth
is reached.
Making a cut that is too deep will stress the router motor and
the cutting bit, and it may burn the workpiece and dull the
cutting bit. It could also “grab” too much of the workpiece and
cause loss of control of the router, causing a serious accident.
Always make test cuts in scrap material similar to the workpiece
before beginning the final cutting. Remember. Knowing the
right depth for each cut comes with routing experience.
PLACING THE ROUTER ONTO THE WORKPIECE
AND STARTING THE CUT
Before operating the router, follow all
safety Instructions in this manual. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: Making test cuts is essential with most routing
applications. A test cut will give a feel for the set-up,
the router’s speed, the depth of cut, and how the
cutting bit reacts to the workpiece.
Much of routing is a trial-and-error process of making
various adjustments, followed by test cuts. To avoid
ruining good material, make test cuts on scrap
materials.
WARNING
EDGE ROUTING
1. With the depth-of-cut set, place the router on the edge of
the workpiece, making sure that the cutter does not
contact the workpiece.
2. Have an edge guide (or a board or a metal straight-edge)
clamped in place to help guide router’s base when making
the edge cut.
3. Turn the router “ON,” and allow the router motor to reach
the selected speed.
4. To begin the cut, gradually feed the cutting bit into
the edge of the workpiece.
5. When the cut is complete, turn router motor “OFF” and
allow the cutting bit come to a complete stop before
removing it from the workpiece.
6. Unplug the router from the power source, place the base
and router upside down on a worktable, and inspect the
finished cut. Place the plunge router on worktable, and
inspect finished cut in workpiece.
Always securely clamp the workpiece in
place, and keep a firm grip on the router base with both
hands at all times. Failure to do so could result in loss
of control causing possibly serious personal injury.
WARNING
Removing the cuttlng bit from the
workplece whlle it is still rotating could damage the
workpiece and result in loss of control, causing serious
personal injury.
WARNING
INTERNAL ROUTING
1. With the depth-of-cut set, tilt the router and place it on
the workpiece with only the leading edge of the sub-base
contacting workpiece (Fig. 1).
2. Turn the router motor “ON” and allow the router motor to
reach the selected speed, being careful not to allow
the cuttlng bit to contact the workpiece.
3. To begin the cut, gradually Iower the router until
the subbase is level with the workpiece to feed the cutting
bit inte the workpiece (Fig. 1; a, and b).
4. When the cut is complete, turn the router “OFF” and allow
the cutting bit come to a complete stop before removlng
it from the workpiece.
5. Unplug the routerfrom the power source, place the router
upside clown on the worktable, and inspect the finished
cut in the workpiece.

Always securely clamp the workpiece in
place, and keep a firm grip on the router base wlth both
hands at all times. Fallure to do so could result in loss
of control, causing possibly serious personal injury.
Removing the cutting bit from workpiece
while it is still rotating could damage the workpiece and
result In loss of control, causing serious personal injury.
NOTE: Making test cuts is essential with most routing
applications. A test cut will give a teel for the set-up,
the router’s speed, the depth of cut, and how Ihe
cutting bit reacts to the workpiece.
WARNING
WARNING
FREEHAND ROUTING
Do not use large cutting bits for freehand
routing. Using large cutting bits when freehand routing
could cause loss ot control or creale other hazardous
conditions that could result in personal injury. If using a
router table, large bits should be used for edging only.
When used freehand, the router becomes a flexible and
versatile tool. This flexibllity makes it possible to easily
rout signs, relief sculptures, etc.
WARNING
When freehand routing:
1. Draw or layout the pattern on the workpiece.
2. Choose the appropriate bit.
3. Rout the pattem in two or more passes. Do not exceed
1/8-in. depth ot cut in a single pass. This will help provide
better control, as well as serve as a guide on the next
passes.
