WARNING
When Routing, never start a cut using a Pi-
loted Bit without first sliding the workpiece
against the Starter Pin.
4.
Loosen the Knob on the Guard Support
and position the Guard over the
workpiece, leaving no more than a 1/4"
gap between the Guard and the Top of
the workpiece. When in place, tighten the
Knob.
5.
Edge the workpiece. With the workpiece
away from the bit area, turn on the Mo-
tor. Resting the edge of your workpiece
against the Starter Pin, ease it gradually
into the rotating bit to start your cut.
When the Bit Pilot contacts the workpiece
edge, gradually rotate the workpiece off
the Starter Pin and continue to move the
workpiece against the rotation of the Bit,
maintaining a steady pressure against
the Bit Pilot which now serves as your
guide. If a second pass is required, repeat
the procedure.
WARNING
The edging of workpieces with non-piloted
bits is dangerous and therefore not recom-
mended. A fence must be used. See the lit-
erature provided with the Fence for proper
setup and safe use of the fence.
RABBETS
Rabbets are formed in straight or round
workpieces exactly as External and Internal
Edging using a Pilot Bit. Remember to ease
your workpiece from left to right, gradually
against the Pin and into the rotating Router Bit
to start your cut.
1.
Install your Router Bit. For rabbets, use a
special Rabbeting Bit with a Pilot of the
appropriate diameter.
5.
Make the cut. After following all setup
procedures and checking to be sure that
everything is tightened properly, you're
ready to turn on the Router Motor and
make your desired cuts.
NOTE
To prevent dwell marks or burns on your
workpiece, always work in a continuous mo-
tion without stopping. Always remember to
raise or slide your workpiece carefully away
from the rotating bit before turning the motor
off.
WARNING
Never Rout without the Guard in place.
Never Freehand Rout stock. Always use a
Fixture with a Guide Pin, Fence, Piloted Router
Bit with Guide Pin, Feather Board(s) Push
Stick, Push Block and/or Miter Gauge with
Safety Grip in order to control workpieces.
EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL
EDGING, USING PILOT BITS.
1.
Install your Router Bit and set the depth-
of-cut. Rotate the Router Motor in its Base
(or adjust in the established fashion) to set
the depth-of-cut and lock it firmly in
position before turning on the Motor.
Before cutting your actual workpiece,
make a practice cut on a similar piece of
scrap stock.
2.
Install the Insert (found in the Router
Plate Package). If the diameter of your
Router Bit is larger than the opening in
this Insert, this step is not required.
3.
Install a Starter Pin into the hole located
in the large, square Router Plate.
