6. The starting pin can be inserted into one of two
holes in the router plate (see Figure 7-3). It is
used as a support to help pivot the workpiece
into the bit when doing freehand work. See
Figure 8-2.
Always use starting pin
when doing freehand work. Use of the
starting pin in freehand work requires
removal of fence and bit guard – exercise
great caution. Keep hands away from
rotating bit. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.

7. Do not perform “climb cuts” (feeding the work
with the bit rotation). Always feed work against
the bit rotation. See Figure 8-3.
8. For average work, where a portion of the
original edge of the work is not to be touched
by the cutter, both sub-fences are set in a
straight line as shown in Figure 8-3.
Figure 8-3
9. When the operation removes the entire edge
of the work, for example in jointing or making a
full bead, the shaped edge will not be
supported by the outfeed sub-fence when both
fences are in line. In this case, place a shim
behind the outfeed sub-fence that is equal
thickness to the depth of cut. To determine
size of shim, position a straight edge against
router bit and bring outfeed sub-fence against
it. See Figure 8-4.

9.0 User-maintenance
Lubricate the Router Lift chain with grease as
needed.
Use a brush, vacuum or compressed air to blow
out sawdust and debris from the dust collection box
and table area.
Periodically apply a light coat of paste wax to cast
iron table surface to inhibit rust.
9.1 Additional servicing
Any additional servicing should be performed by
authorized service personnel.
