OPERATION

When routing straight cuts across stock, clamp a straight
edge to the workpiece to use as a guide. Position the
straightedge parallel to the line of cut and offset the
distance between the cutting edge of the cutter and the
edge of the router base. Hold the router base against
thestraightedge and rout the groove.
When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the
cutter, clamp a straightedge on both sides of the cutlines.
Position both guides parallel to the desired line of cut and
spaced equal distances from the desired edges of the
groove. Rout along one guide; then, reverse direction and
rout along the other guide. Clean out any remaining
waste in the center of the groove freehand.

FITTING AND ADJUSTING THE PARALLEL
GUIDE (Fig. 14)

■

Insert the parallel guide (20) into the hole of the
Router base (16).

■

Draw a cutting line on the work-piece (26).

■

Lower the router body until the cutter is in contact
with the work-piece.

■

Postion the router on the cutting line. The outer
cutting edge of the cutter must coincide with the
cutting line.

■

Without moving the router push the Guide to the edge
of the workpiece before tightening the lock knob (6).

ROUTING BY FREEHAND (FIG. 15)

When used freehand, your plunge router becomes a
flexible and versatile tool. This flexibility makes it possible
to easily rout signs, relief sculptures, etc. There are two
basic techniques for freehand routing:

■

Routing letters, grooves, and patterns into wood.

■

Routing out the background, leaving the letters or
pattern raised above the surface.

When freehand routing, we suggest the following:

■

Draw or layout the pattern on workpiece.

■

Choose the appropriate cutter.

Note:

A core box or V-groove bit is often used for

routing letters and engraving objects. Straight bits and
ball mills are often used to make relief carvings.
Veining bits are used to carve small, intricate details.

■

Rout the pattern in two or more passes. Make the first
pass at 25% of the desired depth of cut. This process
will provide better control as well as being a guide for
the next pass.

■

Do not rout deeper than 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) per pass or cut.

Follow these directions when routing by freehand:

■

Choose the appropriate cutter, set desired depth of
cut, carefully check set-up, and secure workpiece.

■

Make a test cut in a scrap piece of wood from the
same workpiece if possible.

■

Unlock plunge lock lever to raise cutter from any
preset depth of cut. This also permits raising cutter
inside router base.

■

Place router on workpiece inside pattern to be routed.

■

Grasp handles securely and press the switch to start
your router.

■

Let motor build to full speed, then gradually plunge
cutter into workpiece until stop bar comes into contact
with depth stop.

■

Lock plunge lock lever to secure depth of cut setting.

■

Begin routing out the pattern, continuing until a
complete pass at this depth of cut has been made.

WARNING

Do not use large router bits for freehand routing.
Use of large router bits when freehand routing
could cause loss of control or create other
hazardous conditions that could cause possible
serious personal injury.

■

Several cuts that require repositioning of router may
be needed for a particular job. If this situation exists,
unlock plunge lock lever to raise cutter inside router
base after each cut, reposition router for next cut,
gradually plunge cutter into workpiece until stop bar
contacts depth stop, lock plunge lock lever and
continue routing.

■

After all cuts have been made, unlock plunge lock
lever, raise cutter inside router base, remove router
from workpiece, turn off the router, and allow cutter to
come to a complete stop.

ROUTING EDGES

Place router on workpiece, making sure the router bit
does not contact workpiece. Turn router on and let the
motor build to its full speed. Begin your cut, gradually
feeding cutter into workpiece.

WARNING

Keep a firm grip on router with both hands at all
times. Failure to do so could result in loss of
control leading to possible serious injury.

Upon completion of cut, turn motor off and let it come to
a complete stop before removing router from work
surface.
