34 Sabre Owner’s Guide
♦
During routing, the Sabre moves quickly. Do not lean over the machine. Stand away
from the routing table.
♦
Tie back or cover long hair. Remove loose jewelry, ties, scarves, and loose clothing that
can catch in moving parts.
♦
Wear protective eyewear such as goggles or safety glasses that cover the front and
sides of the eyes.
♦
Wear ear protection. During routing, noise levels can reach 85 decibels.
♦
Keep all personnel at a safe distance from the Sabre when it is operating.
♦
Unplug the router motor when changing tools.
♦
Keep the work area clean and clear.
Milling the mat
This procedure mills a new surface onto the table mats that is absolutely flat with respect to the
router motor, allowing for precise, uniform depths of cut at any location on the router table.
The procedure consists of:
♦
installing the table surfacing tool
♦
initializing the tool
♦
sending the job from the computer
♦
milling the mats
Note: Gerber recommends warming up the spindle prior to its first use each day. See
“Warming up the spindle” on page 39 for complete instructions. The steps in this procedure
are the same basic steps used to run any job on the router.
To install the table surfacing tool
1
Slew the router motor near the front of the table.
2
Unplug the router motor.
3
Select the 1.250" table surfacing tool and the .5" collet from the tool kit.
CAUTION: Do not strike the cutting edge on the tool with the collet or any other
hard material during tool installation.
4
Make sure the narrow end of the tapered collet points upward.
5
Be sure that the collet and spindle are clean and undamaged.
6
Put the nut in the collet, then insert the shank of the tool in the collet.
