Freehand Routing - DeWalt DWE625 Traducido De Las Instrucciones Originales

6. Rotate the quick height adjuster
bar 12 touches multiple turret stop
by tightening the quick height adjuster lock
7. If the depth of cut needs re‑adjustment, it is recommended
to use quick depth adjuster
height adjuster for accurate settings.
8. Adjust the depth of cut using the fine height adjuster
nOtE: One turn of the fine height adjuster
to 1 mm (3/64"), one turn of the quick height adjuster
corresponds to 40 mm (1‑1/2")
9. Read the depth of cut using the quick zero reset ring
and fine zero reset ring
10. The distance between the top of the revolving depth stop and
the bottom of the depth stop is the required depth of cut.
11. The rotating turret stop screws
to three depths of cut. The height can be adjusted using a flat
screwdriver and a 8 mm (5/16") wrench.
nOtE: By rotating the turret stop, three depth settings can
be quickly made.
Fine Height Adjuster (Fig. D)
This router has a built in fine height adjuster. This should be
used when fine height adjustment of the cutter is required.
This is especially recommended when using dovetail jigs or
router tables.
Direction Of Feed (Fig. L)

WARNING: Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in direction
opposite than shown in Fig. L). Climb-cutting increases the
chance for loss of control resulting in possible injury. When
climb-cutting is required (backing around a corner), exercise
extreme caution to maintain control of router. Make smaller
cuts and remove minimal material with each pass.
The direction of feed is very important when routing and can
make the difference between a successful job and a ruined
project. Fig. L show proper direction of feed for most cuts.
1. When routing along an edge, the direction of the router
travel should be against that of the rotation of the cutter.
This will create the correct cutting action and prevent the
cutter from snatching. It will also pull the router towards the
workpiece and the side fence or guide bearing will be less
likely to wander from the edge of the workpiece.
Feed Speed
The speed at which the cutter is fed into the wood must not be
too fast that the motor slows down, or too slow that the cutter
leaves burn marks on the face of the wood.
nOtE: Practice judging the speed by listening to the sound of
the motor when routing.
Sequence of Plunging

WARNING: When routing always lock the plunge
locking lever.
1. Plunge down and lock the motor carriage, by pushing quick
release button 7 .
2. Perform the desired routing operation.
3. Push down the plunge lock lever

Using a Side Fence (Fig. M)

CAUTION: Ensure working position is comfortable and at
a suitable working height.
1. Ensure the wing bolts

wing bolts.

2. Adjust the fence fine adjustment knob
distance and clamp in place with the wing bolts

3. Then lower the cutter height until the cutter is just above
the workpiece.

4. Fine adjustments are possible by loosening the
wing bolt 28
adjustment knob
5. Tighten the wing bolt
nOtE: One revolution of the side fence fine adjustment
knob 29 equals 3/64" (1.0 mm) of side feed.
6. Lower the cutter onto the workpiece and set the cutter
height by to the required distance. Refer to Setting the
Router Depth.
7. Switch the router on and after the cutter reaches full
speed, gently lower the cutter into the workpiece and lock
the plunge.
8. Feed along the workpiece, keeping sideways pressure to
ensure the side fence does not wander away from the
workpiece edge and downward pressure on the inside hand
to prevent the router from tipping.
9. When finished, raise the router, secure with the plunge
locking lever
nOtE: When starting the cut, keep the pressure on the front
cheek until the back cheek contacts the workpiece edge.
nOtE: At the end of the cut, keep pressure on the back
cheek until the cut is finished. This will prevent the router
cutter swinging in at the end of the workpiece and nipping
the corner.
Side Fence Routing (Fig. I, J)
The side fence is used to guide the router when moulding,
edge profiling or rebating the edge of a workpiece or when
routing grooves and slots in the center of the workpiece,
parallel to the edge.
The edge of the workpiece must be straight and true.
The strips are adjustable and should be set ideally with a
31
1/8" (3 mm) gap each side of the cutter.
Guiding Off a Batten
Where an edge guide cannot be used, it is also possible to guide
the router along a batten clamped across the workpiece (with
an overhang at both ends.)

Freehand Routing


WARNING: Make shallow cuts only!
Use cutters with a max. diameter of 6 mm.
Your router can also be used without any sort of guide, e.g. for
signwriting or creative work.
