Using the Starter Pin
Use of a Starter Pin is required when you’re not using the fence
on your router table to feed your workpiece into the bit. Stock is
most vulnerable to catching and being thrown at the beginning
of the cut, before it engages the router bit’s guide bearing. Install
the Starter Pin, which consists of a round-head bolt through a
non-marring plastic sheath, into the mounting hole in the SL
Router Lift plate. Then use the Starter Pin as a fulcrum to feed
your workpiece into the bit. Be sure the pin is screwed in tightly
before use.

THESE WARNINGS PERTAIN
TO THIS SECTION:
>
To avoid serious injury, keep
hands and fingers away from
spinning router bit. Maintain
awareness of the bit at
all times.
>
If attempting to rout a workpiece without using the
router table fence, always use the included Starter
Pin to begin the cut. Failure to do so could result in
dangerous workpiece kickback and serious injury.
>
Use the Starter Pin
ONLY
with bearing-guided router
bits. Use with other bits could result in serious injury.
