EDGE CUTTING WITH PILOTED
ROUTER BITS (Figs. 35 and 36)
I'_WARNINGI 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.
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 piloted bit in the router.
2. Follow the instructions on page 28 to set
the desired height of cut (Fig. 35). Make
sure that the router is securely in place.
3. Adjust the router table fence back just
enough that the pilot on the router bit will
control the depth of cut. The router bit pilot
should just barely protrude past the fence
faceplates (19). Tighten the fence clamping
knobs SECURELY.
4. Position the fence faceplates (19) so that
they clear the bit by 1/4 in.
5. Tighten the clamping knobs and carriage
bolts holding the fence faceplates (19) in
place.
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).
