4. Push the clamp lever all the way down to
secure the workpiece (Figure 5d) and confirm
that it is held securely by manually pulling on
it. If the workpiece is loose, adjust the stock
thickness adjustment knob as needed until a
firm grip is achieved as described in step 3.
5. With the workpiece firmly clamped in place, push the
power switch on the motor to the ON position. One side of
the switch is marked “I” for “ON” and the other side of
switch is marked “O” for “OFF”.
6. To cut the pocket, push the pocket cutting
lever down smoothly until it hits the stop.
When the cut is complete, release the
lever and the bit will return to the starting
position below the work deck. When
routing in wood, the best finishes will
result if the depth of cut and feed rate are
regulated to keep the motor operating at
high speed. Feed the bit at a moderate
rate. Soft stock generally requires a faster
feed rate than harder materials.
