WARNING: Your router should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing cutters, or when not in use. Disconnecting your router will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS See Figures 4, 5, and 6. We recommend that cuts be made at a depth not exceeding 1/8 in. and that several passes be made to reach depths of cut greater than 1/8 in. • UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER, [ ,WARNING: Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental starting causing serious injury.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS WHEN ROUTER IS MOUNTED TO A ROUTER TABLE See Figure 7. The depth of cut is readable from both sides of the depth indicator ring. The bottom ring is convenient when using your router mounted upside down to a router table. The indicator point on the base can also be used when using your router mounted to a router table.
ROUTING See Figure 9. 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 firmty with both hands as shown in figure 9. Turn router on and let motor build to its full speed, then gradually feed cutter into workpiece.
PROPER FEEDING The right feed is neither too fast nor too slow. It is the rate at which the bit is being advanced firmly and surely to produce a continuous spiral of uniform chips --without hogging into the wood to make large individual chips or, on the other hand, to create only sawdust.
DEPTH OF CUT As previously mentioned, the depth of cut is important because it affects the rate of feed which, in turn, affects the quality of a cut (and, also, the possibility of damage to your router motor and bit).
STARTING AND ENDING A CUT INTERNAL ROUTING Tilt router and place on workpiece, letting edge of subbase contact workpiece first. Be careful not to let router bit contact workpiece. Turn router on and let motor build to its full speed. Gradually feed cutter into workpiece until subbase is level with workpiece.
