ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK CIRCUITRY

The router’s electronic feedback circuitry monitors and adjusts power to main­
tain the desired RPM for consistent performance and|control, providing constant
speed under load for a quality finish in all materials

PLACING THE ROUTER ONTO THE WORKPIECE AND STARTING THE CUT

WARNING: Before operating your router follow all safety Instructions in

this manual. Failure to do so could result in seriouis personal injury.

NOTE: Making test cuts is essential with most routing applications. Even

with careful set-ups you won’t know exactly how the cut will go until you
try it out. A test cut will give you a feel for the set-tip, the router’s speed,
the depth of cut and how the cutting bit reacts to the work piece. Much of
routing is a trial-and-error process of making various adjustments, fol­
lowed by test cuts as you become familiar with alljof your router’s op­
erational abilities. To avoid ruining good material, iinake your test cuts on

scrap materials.

How you place your router onto a work piece to start the cut depends on the type

of routing you are going to perform: Edge Routing or InWna! Routing.

EDGE ROUTING OR INTERNAL ROUTING

For ease of operation and to maintain proper control, your router has two
handles, one on each side of the router base. When operating the router, always
hold it firmly with both hands (Fig. 12).

Turn the router “On,” let the

router motor build to its full

speed, then gradually feed
the cutting bit into the work
piece. ALWAYS be alert and
watch what you are doing.
NEVER operate the router

when you are fatigued.

EDGE ROUTING (Fig. 12)

1. With depth-of-cut set,

place router on edge of

work piece, making sure
the cutter does not con­
tact the work piece,

2

.

Have an edge guide (board or metal straightedge) clamped in place to help

guide router’s base when making your edge cut.
