RoutingDirection
‐Whenroutingalonganedge,thedirection
oftheroutertravelshouldbeagainstthatof
therotationofthecutter.Thiswillcreatethe
correctcuttingactionandpreventthecutter
‘snatching’.Itwillalsopulltherouter
towardstheworkpieceandhencethe
side‐fenceorguidebearing
willbelesslikely
towanderfromtheedgeoftheworkpiece.

FeedSpeed
‐Thespeedatwhichthecutterisfedintothe
woodmustnotbetoofastthatthemotor
slowsdown,ortooslowthatthecutter
leavesburnmarksonthefaceofthewood.
Practicejudgingthespeedbylisteningtothe
soundofthemotorwhenrouting.
RoutingwiththeParallelSide‐Fence
‐Makesuretheguiderodlocks(5)arefully
released.Slidetheguiderodsintothe
routingbaseplate(7)andtightentheguide
rodlocks(5).
‐Adjusttheside‐fencetotherequired
distanceandclampinplacewiththeguide
rodlocks(5).
‐
Setthecutteranddepthasmentioned
previouslyinthismanual.
‐Switchontherouterandwhenthecutter
reachesfullspeed,releasetheplungelock
lever(12)andthengentlylowerthecutter
intotheworkpieceandlocktheplunge.
‐Feedalongthetimber,keepingsideways
pressureto
ensurethesidefencedoesnot
wanderawayfromtheworkpieceedgeand
downwardpressureontheinsidehandto
preventtherouterfromtipping.
‐Whenfinished,raisetherouter,securewith
theplungelockinglever(12)andswitchoff.
RoutingwiththeCompass
‐SetuptheCompassaspreviouslymentioned
inthismanual.
‐Placethemachineontheworkpieceand
ensurepinoncompasswillpiercethe
workpiecesurface.
