INSTALLING AND REMOV- ING THE CUTTING BIT (Figs, 3, 4 and 4a) INSTALUNG THE CUTTING BIT 14 . Turn router motor off and unplug from power source. Remove router motor from fixed base° NOTE: See instructions on removing and installing the router motor in the fixed base on page 18.
WARNING: TIGHTEN COLLET/NUT SECURELY to prevent the cutting bit from slipping, if the collet/nut is not securely tightened, the cutting bit may detach during use, causing serious personal injury.
INSTALLING ROUTER MOTOR IN BASE WARNING: NEVER use the router motor without installing it into either a fixed or plunge approved base. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury and damage to router motor.
WARNING: ALWAYS remove cutting bits from collet/nut when the router is not being used. Leaving bits installed could result in an accident causing serious personal injury.
To Adjust Depth (Figs° 6 and 6a) . 2_ 3_ 4_ Turn router motor off and unplug from power source_ Place router on a flat, level surface with back of fixed base facing you, Open Router Motor Clamp (A), .
Deep Cuts The proper cutting depth for each pass is always determined by the material, the cutting bit size and type, and the power of the router motor. Always make several progressively deeper cuts by starting at one depth and then make several passes, each time increasing the cutting; depth until your desired depth is reached.
LED WORKLIGHTS (Fig° 8) Your router motor has 3 built-in work lights located around the collet/nut to provide high vis- ibility of work piece when cut- ting. These lights are always "On" when the toggle switch is in the "On" position.
DETACHABLE POWER CORD (Fig., 11) The router has a detachable power cord for easy carrying and storage. Note: Always attach the Detach- able Power Cord to the Router before connecting the Power Cord to.
ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK CIRCUITRY The router's electronic feedback circuitry monitors and adjusts power to main- tain the desired RPM for consistent performance andlcontrol, providing constant speed .
5_ When cut is completed, turn router motor "Off" arid let cutting bit come to a complete stop before removing it from the work p!ece. 6. Unplug router from power source, place router upside.
FREEHAND ROUTING WITH THE FIXED BASE (Fig. i 14) WARNING: Do not use Fig. 14 large cutting bits for free- hand routing. Use of large cutting bits when freehand routing could cause loss of control or create other haz- ardous conditions that could result in personal injury, if us- ing a router table, large bits should be used for edging only.
EDGING wrrH A PILOT BIT (Figs, 15 and 15a) Arbor-type bits with pilots are excellent for edge shap- ing any work-piece edge that is straight or is curved at a curvature that is equal to or greater than the bit radius. The pilot prevents the bit from making too deep a cut.
FEEDING THE ROUTER (Fig. 16) The secret to professional rout- ing is in making a careful set-up for the cut, selecting the proper depth of cut, knowing how the cutting bit reacts in your work piece, and the rate and direc- tion of feed of the router. DIRECTION OF FEED - EX- TERNAL CUTS (Fig.
DIRECTION OF FEED., INTERNAL CUTS (Figs. ! 7 _nd 17a) [ When making an internal cut, Fig.17 such as a groove, dado or slot, always have the guide you are using with the router (edge guide, straight edge, board guide), on the right- hand side of the router as you make your cut, see Fig.
RATE OF FEED (Figs. 18 and '18a) The proper rate of feed de- pends on several factors: the hardness and moisture content of the work piece, the depth of cut, and the cutting diameter of the bit. When you are cutting shallow grooves in soft woods such as pine, you may use a faster rate of feed.
With almost no load on the router motor, the cutting bk has a tendency to bounce off the sides of the cut in the work piece, producing a cut with a rippled finish instead of clean straight sides. CHIP SHIELD DEFLECTOR (Fig. 19) WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection.
To adjust Depth with the Depth-Adjustment Wrenc_ (Fig° 21) NOTE: The Depth-Adjustment Fig° 2i Wrench supplied is used to adjust the depth of cut when the router fixed to the router table (Model No. 320. 28180). The bit depth can be adjusted by turning the Micro Adjust- ment Dial clockwise or coun- terclockwise with the wrench supplied.
