OPERATION SWITCH MOTOR See Figure 13. HOUSING To turn the router ON, toggle the switch to the I position. To turn the router OFF, toggle the switch to the O position. I = ON CAUTION: O = OFF We suggest that you practice with your router before installing a cutter and making cuts in wood. ROUTING See Figure 14.

OPERATION ROUTING BY FREEHAND See Figure 16. When used freehand, your plunge router becomes a flexible and versatile tool. This flexibility makes it possible to easily rout signs, relief sculptures, etc. There are two basic techniques for freehand routing: ■ Routing letters, grooves, and patterns into wood. ■ Routing out the background, leaving the letters or pattern raised above the surface. When freehand routing, we suggest the following: ■ Draw or layout the pattern on workpiece. ■ Choose the

OPERATION PILOT BIT EDGING ROUTER See Figure 17. Rabbets and molded edges can be cut using piloted cutters. The pilot extends below the cutter. Some pilots are solid extensions of the cutter. Others are ball bearing guides that are fastened to the end of the cutter. The pilots allow the cutters to turn while the pilot follows the PILOT edge of the workpiece. Arbor-type bits with pilots are excellent for quick, easy, edge shaping. They will follow workpiece edges that are WORK either straight or

OPERATION PROPER FEEDING ROUTER FEED DIRECTION The right feed is neither too fast nor too slow. It is the rate at which the bit is being advanced firmly and surely to produce a continuous spiral of uniform chips.

A deep cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one, and a too deep cut will cause you to slow the feed so much that the bit is no longer cutting, it is scraping, instead. Making a deep cut is never advisable. The smaller bits — especially thos
