7. Feed the Palm Router 1 into the work-
piece. See "Feeding the Palm Router"
on page 30.
Note: the speed may be adjusted while
the palm router is in operation.
8. Once routing is complete, turn the Palm
Router 1 off. See "(Fig. 32)" on page
29.
Straight Edge Guide (PR102)
(optional accessory)
(Fig. 36)
The Straight Edge Guide 27 is an optional
accessory that will guide the palm router
parallel to a straight edge.
The guide features a scale for accurately po-
sitioning the edge guide relative to the bit.
With the guide installed and adjusted, the
router should be fed normally, keeping the
guide in contact with the edge of the work-
piece at all times.
The router guide can also be positioned di-
rectly under the router base for operations
where a cut is needed close to or at the edge
of the work, such as when rounding off deck
planks. For complete instructions on instal-
lation and operation, please refer to the in-
structions included with this accessory.

Operation
Self-Piloted Bits
(Fig. 37)
Self-piloted bits have an integral round tip
or ball bearing which rides against the work
surface above or below the cutter to control
horizontal cutting depth. When using these
bits, neither the roller guide or the straight
edge guide is required. When guiding against
a laminated surface, use wax or other lubri-
cant and do not apply excess pressure or
the piloted end may mar the work. Bearing
pilots must be kept clean and free of adhe-
sive or other residue. Router bit bearings
are sealed and permanently lubricated, and
should be replaced when they no longer turn
freely to avoid damaging the work surface.

Fixed Base Roller/Bushing Guide
(PR003) (optional accessory)
(Fig. 38)
The optional Fixed Base Roller/Bushing
Guide 28 is used when edge-forming or trim-
ming with unpiloted/non-bearing bits.
With the fixed Base roller/bushing guide in-
27
stalled and adjusted, the router should be
fed normally, keeping the guide in contact
with the edge of the workpiece at all times.
To maintain a consistent width of cut, a con-
sistent angle must be maintained between
the router and the workpiece.
For complete instructions on installation
and operation, please refer to the instruc-
tions included with this accessory.
