5. Run the tool for about 10 seconds before
routing to ensure all moving parts are running
smoothly, and there are no loose parts, rattles,
or sparking that would indicate damage.
Note: Determine optimum speed by testing on scrap
material until you are able to produce a smooth cut with
no burnishing or burn marks. Burn marks are caused by
moving too slowly through wood. Feeding Router too
quickly, or trying to remove too much material in a single
pass creates a rough cut and can overload the motor.
c. On vertical surfaces, start and end cut
at the top to prevent waste material
from falling onto the rotating bit.
9. When using the Fence: Cut parallel to edge
of workpiece with Fence following edge.
6. Allow bit to reach full speed before
contacting workpiece.
10. When using a Temporary Guide: Cut with
Fence following edge of temporary guide.
7. Slowly engage workpiece, do not force
Router down into workpiece.
11. When making a Circle Cut: With nail
in place through center hole of Fence ,
plunge the bit into workpiece and rotate
Router in a circle around the nail.
12. When using a Template Guide: Cut with
Guide following edge of template.
Note: Use two or more passes for deep cuts, especially
in the case of hardwood. When cutting grooves
depth of cut should be limited to 1/8″ per pass.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
The tool will restart automatically if stalled.
13. After completing cut, raise Router so the
bit is clear of workpiece, and Power Switch
is off. Do not set the Router down until
the bit has come to a complete stop.
14. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
