OPERATION KNOW YOUR ELECTRONIC ROUTER Before attempting to usa your router, familiarize yourself with all operating features, electronic features, and safety requirements. See Figure /.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 IN. JURY. We suggest that you practice with the electronic features of your router before installing a cutter and making cuts in wood.
INSTALLING/REMOVING CUTIERS Disconnect router from power supply. OPERATION 1. A spindle lock is located on the top of motor housing. See Figure 5. To activate lock, push spindle lock back and slide into lock position. NEVER ATTEMPT TO ACTIVATE SPINDLE LOCK WHILE ROUTER MOTOR IS RUNNING OR COASTING TO STOP. 2. Place your router upside down on a table, then turn collet nut with wrench until lock mechanism interlocks. See Fig. 3.
OPERATION WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR EYESHIELDS WHEN USING YOUR ROUTER. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DUST OR CHIPS BEING THROWN IN YOUR EYES RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY. IF THE CUTTING OPERATION IS DUSTY, ALSO WEAR A FACE OR DUST MASK. ROUTING See Figure 6. For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, your router has two handles, one on each side of the router base.
OPERATION PROPER FEEDING DIRECTION 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 uniform chips -- without hogging Into the wood to make large individual chips or, on the other hand, to create only sawdust. If you are making a small diameter, shallow groove in soft, dry wood, the proper feed may be about as fast as you can travel your router along your guide line.
OPERATION Whenever you are shaping an edge, the feed should always be clockwise when working on an outside (convex) edge; but should be counterclockwise when working on an inside (concave) edge. See Fig. 11. The reason for this is that, when traveling the tool as instructed, the bit will have a "chopping action" but will have a "gouging a,ction" If you reverse the travel direction. "Chopping is much preferable to "gouging" as there Is less danger of ripping, out chips by tearing the wood grain.

TYPICAL OPERATIONS HELPFUL HINTS - MAKING CUTTER SIZE SELECTIONS AS you can see listed in the accessories, a wide variety of cutters is available. Therefore, there is a variety of sizes, grooves, curves and angles involved.

MAINTENANCE WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS PROPER CARE OF CUTTERS Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping cutters clean and sharp.
