EDGE CUTTING WITH NONPILOTED
ROUTER BITS (Figs. 34 and 35)
Disconnect the router
from the power supply
before making adjustments or changing
accessories. Such precautionary safety
measures reduce the risk of unintentional
tool operation.
NOTE: If the outfeed shim plates are
installed, remove before proceeding.
When using nonpiloted router bits, the fence
is used to set the depth of cut. For deep cuts,
do not try to cut the total depth all in one pass.
Repeat the cut, taking multiple smaller cuts.
If you are using a wet/dry vac, it should be
connected to the vacuum port on the back of
the fence assembly.
1. Install the desired bit in the router.
2. Follow the instructions on page 28 to set
the desired depth of cut and height of cut
(Fig. 34). Make sure that the fence and
router are SECURELY in place.
3. Position both fence faceplates (19) so that
they clear the bit by 1/4".
4. Tighten the clamping knobs and carriage
bolts holding the faceplates (19) in place.
5. Position the featherboards (22), if desired.
See ROUTING USING FEATHERBOARDS
on page 26.
6. Remove the board from the table (1) and
make sure the overhead guard (18) is
securely in place.
NOTE: When making adjustments, use
a piece of scrap wood to make trial cuts
before making the cut with the actual
workpiece.
7. Make sure that both the router and switch
box are OFF; then plug the router into
the switch box (14).
