PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
>
To avoid serious injury, keep hands and fingers away from spinning router bit. Maintain
awareness of the bit at all times.
>
In addition to these instructions, be sure to read, understand
and follow the user’s manual that came with your router,
including all safe-operating instructions.
>
Use only with a plunge router that has at least a 2
1
⁄

HP
motor, a 1/2" collet and a baseplate that can accept a
standard guide bushing.
>
Use only with a 1/2” diameter straight or up-cut spiral
router bit with a 1/2" shank.
>
Unplug your router before installing or adjusting the
router bit or guide bushing.
>
Make sure the worktop into which you will be routing the
holes is stable and secure and will not shift during the
routing process.
>
Because it’s not possible to clamp the template when
routing holes in the interior of the worktop, you
MUST
secure the template to the worktop with three indexing
dog pins pressed fully through the template and into
dog holes already routed.
>
Do
NOT
attempt to cut the full depth in a single pass. Cut
no more than 1/4" deep in each pass. Make multiple passes
to achieve final depth.
>
Use of dust collection is strongly recommended. When
routing holes, remove router from template between
passes and vacuum residual dust from holes to ensure
guide bushing can maintain contact with template. Dust
buildup could prevent router from cutting uniform
3/4" diameter holes.
