(work extends beyond saw carriage at least 4” (102mm))
11. When making cuts that are less than 1 inch, the chatter guard (located inside the blade guard) must be resting
on the work piece, not on the cut-off piece. See Figure 28. If it is not positioned this way, it will jam the work
piece and prevent the carriage from continuing through the cut. If the saw jams, turn the tool OFF and wait for
the blade to stop. Then back the saw out of the cut.

Operating Procedure: Routing
1. Position the router platform in the appropriate position for the cut to be made. See “Rotating the Turntable”,
above.
2. Adjust the material thickness control for the thickness of the material to be cut (see “Adjusting the Thickness
Control,” above).
3. Loosen the carriage locks on the guide tubes and move the carriage to the top of the guides.
4. Place the work piece on top of the rollers. Be careful not to drop it onto the rollers.
5. Slide the work piece to the desired position, using the crosscut rulers or optional gauging system (Stop Bar or
Quick Stop) as measures.
6. Make certain that the work piece is adequately supported and stable in the machine. Refer also to
“Limitations of the Tool” above. The work piece can be held with one hand;
do not hold the work piece so
that your hand is anywhere behind the carriage or guides or in the path of the bit.
