USING THE ROUTER WITH DUST EXTRACTION
• When using dust extraction, be sure that the vacuum cleaner is out of the way and secure
so that it will not tip over or interfere with the router or workpiece. The vacuum hose and
power cord must also be positioned so that they don't interfere with the router or
workpiece. If the vacuum cleaner or vacuum hose cannot be positioned properly, it should
be removed.
• Turn on vacuum cleaner before router.
• Empty the vacuum cleaner as necessary.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
When working on outside edges, move the tool counterclockwise (fig. K). When working on
inside edges, move the tool clockwise.
• Use HSS (high speed steel) router bits for softwood.
• Use TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) router bits for hardwood.
• You can use the tool without a guide (fig. L). This is useful for sign writing and creative
work. Only make shallow cuts.
• Refer to the table below for common types of router bits.
