MOUNTING TEMPLATE GUIDE (Fig. 13&14)
The template guide can be fitted to the router base to accurately
duplicate curves and other complex shapes. These shapes
can be easily made by using a jigsaw to cut out the required
designs.
Place the template guide in the recess provided in the
base and tighten screws.
The guide protrudes below the bottom of the base allowing
the router to follow the template.
A template must be securely fixed to the work piece and a
firm pressure applied to the router at all times to ensure that
the edge of the guide accurately follows the template.

ROUTING (Fig. 15)
For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, your
router has two handles, one on each side of the router base.
When using your router, hold it firmly with both hands.
Before starting the router, unplug it and make sure the cutter
is securely tightened in collet nut and that depth of cut is
properly set.
Plug router into power supply, turn it on and let motor build
to its full speed, then gradually plunge or feed cutter into
workpiece. Do not let the cutter contact workpiece before
turning on the router and allowing it to develop full speed.
Remain alert and watch what you are doing. Do not operate
router when fatigued or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or any medication.
