NOTICE: Reduce the speed when using
very large bits (1-inch or greater in cutting
diameter) or heavy cutting bits. Changing
the router rate of feed can also improve
the quality of the cut.
NOTICE: The speed may be changed while
the router is “ON”, but do not change the
speed if the cutter bit is in the workpiece.
WARNING:
Before operating your
router, follow all safety instructions in this
manual. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
EDGE ROUTING OR
INTERNAL ROUTING (FIG. 18)
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. 18).

EDGE ROUTING (FIG. 19)
1. With the depth-of-cut set, place the
router on the edge of workpiece, making
sure that the cutter does not contact the
workpiece. (With the plunge base, lock
the plunge action in the DOWN position,
ready to cut).
2. Have an edge guide (or a board or a
metal straightedge) clamped in place to
help guide the router base when making
the edge cut (FIG. 19).

3. Turn the router “ON”, and allow the
router motor to reach the selected
speed.
4. To begin the cut, gradually feed the
cutter bit into the edge of the workpiece.
5. When the cut is complete, turn the
router motor “OFF” and allow the cutter
bit come to a complete stop before
removing it from the workpiece.
