OPERATION
3. Pick up a door and turn it up on edge so that it can be sighted for straightness. If a bow is noticed,
place the door on the infeed bed so that the bow is toward the machine (if possible). This way the
bow will be away from the stop on the jamb when the door is closed.
4. Adjust the door width with the infeed bed control lever until the undercut reference marks align (see
Figure 2-3).
5. Slide the door into the powerfeed system where it will be sized, beveled, and the edges sanded. To
adjust the speed of the powerfeed wheel adjust the knob located in the operator control panel (see
Figure 3-4). For light cuts and soft woods it can be set at the fastest speed, but should be reduced for
heavier cuts and hard woods for better performance.
6. If the next door to be processed is the same width as the door in the machine, sight it for straightness
and then place it on the infeed bed in the “holding” position (leading end just under the first roller of
the undercut reference assembly).
7. Place the jamb in the desired position on the jamb rack (right or left hand) by pushing the dado end
against the appropriate jamb stop.
8. By this time the first door will be waiting in the drill section. Roll it against door stop at the same end
as the jamb is located. While pressing the door against the main bar and the door stop, operate the
foot pedal to clamp the door.
9. Start the drill cycle by depressing the foot pedal (located to the right of the clamp pedal). Release the
router carriage by pushing the button on the left side of the router carriage handle. CAUTION: the
motor will automatically start when lowered to about 25 degrees. Lower the router carriage until the
locating dog drops over the “top hinge” index block. The router bit should be between the door and
jamb.
10. Clamp the router carriage to the door making sure that the jamb is in contact with the bottom of the
router carriage. If the jamb requires moving up or down to compensate for different thickness jambs
activate the control which is located on the front of the butt router. It is a two-way toggle switch,
pushing it up raises the jamb and pushing it down lowers the jamb. When the jamb switch is re
-
leased a brake is applied to hold it in the desired position.
