KNOW YOUR ROUTER
Before attempting to use your router, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety requirements.
See
Figures 1 and 2.
Your router is a versatile woodworking tool which will give
you years of trouble-free performance. It is engineered with
the professional in mind, but its ease of operation allows the
amateur to produce work which is beautiful and precise.
As the name implies your router can be used for making
plunge cuts in workpieces, routing grooves, edge routing,
routing circles, and freehand routing. When used with
recommended accessories, such as a UL listed router table
or straight guide; it becomes even more versatile. Various
types of cutters, both with and without roller bearings as
guides also add to the versatility of this tool.
CAUTION:
Use router bits for cutters only.
Also make sure all router bits and recommended accessories
are in accordance with listed specifications for this tool. For
example, do not use router bits that are rated at less than
25,000 RPM.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your router to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
