before making adjustments or changing
accessories. Such precautionary safety
measures reduce the risk of unintentional
tool operation.
NOTE: If the outfeed shim plate is installed,
remove it before proceeding.
When performing these routing operations,
it is recommended to use the featherboard.
For best results and maximum accuracy, the
side of the workpiece that will be against the
fence must be square and straight.
If you are using a wet/dry vac, it should be
connected to the vacuum port on the back of
the fence assembly.
1. Install the desired end-cutting bit in the router.
2. Follow the instructions on page 23 to set
the desired depth of cut (location of cut)
and height of cut (Fig. 30). Make sure that
the fence and router are securely in place.
IMPORTANT: For deep cuts, do not try to cut
the total depth (controlled by the router bit
height) all in one pass. Repeat the cut, taking
smaller cuts until the desired depth is reached.
3. Position both fence faceplates (16) so that they
provide continuous support of the workpiece.
4. Tighten the two clamping knobs and
carriage bolts holding the fence faceplates
(16) in place.
5. Position the featherboard (19), if desired.
See ROUTING USING FEATHERBOARD
on page 21.
6. Remove the board from the table (1) and
make sure the overhead guard (15) is
securely in place.
NOTE: When making adjustments, use a
piece of scrap wood to make trial cuts before
making the cut with the actual workpiece.

7. Make sure that both the router and switch
box (12) are OFF; then plug the router into
the switch box (12).
8. While firmly holding a piece of scrap wood
against the fence faceplate (16) and down
against the router table (1), feed a piece of
scrap wood toward the bit in the direction
shown by the arrow in Fig. 31.
9. Using the switch box (12), turn the router
OFF. If any adjustments are needed, unplug
the power cord and repeat steps 2–8 until
all adjustments are correct. Once you are
satisfied with all settings, make the cut with
the actual workpiece.
