The router may stall if improperly used or
overloaded. Reduce the feed rate to prevent
possible damage to the tool.
Always be sure the collet nut is tightened
securely before use.
GUIDING THE ROUTER
The router can be guided through the work in
any of several ways. The method you use
depends, of course, on the demands of the
particular job and on convenience.
For routing operations such as grooving or
dadoing, it is often necessary to guide the
tool in a line parallel to a straight edge. One
method of obtaining a straight cut is to
securely clamp a board or other straightedge
to the work surface, and guide the edge of
the router sub-base along this path (Fig. 14).
STRAIGHT AND CIRCULAR EDGE GUIDE
(Not included, available as accessory)
Use this handy accessory for ease and
accuracy in making curved and straight cuts.
ATTACHING GUIDE
Insert edge guide rods through holes in base,
slide edge guide to desired width as shown in
(Fig. 15), and secure in place by tightening the
screw at the bottom of the router.

Always use router bits with the shortest
cutting length necessary to produce the
desired cut. This will minimize router bit run-
out and chatter.

GUIDE
One method of locating the guide is to mark
the center of groove to be cut, set the router
flat on the work with the bit just touching and
aligned over the center of groove. Bring the
guide to the edge of the work, and securely
tighten screws. Whenever in doubt about
dimensions, make a trial cut on scrap material.
For guiding along a circular edge, the notch
in the center of the edge guide will contact
the material at the two points shown
(Fig. 16).
