Edge Cutting With Piloted Router Bits:
1. Position the fence in the same manner as with
non-piloted bits.
2. Move the fence back only enough to permit the
pilot to control the cutting depth• Positioning the fence
as close to the pilot as possible will serve as a back-
up and will help to prevent chances of an accident
and possible personal injury. See Figure 28.
3. LOWER THE OVERHEAD GUARD to the OPER-
ATING POSITION. Overhead guard shown raised for
reasons of clarity.
4. Test cut a piece of scrap wood to make sure
adjustments are satisfactory.
NOTE J Feed work AGAINST the rotation
I
of the cutter (in the direction shown by the arrow in
Figure 28).
5. The router table is now ready for use.

Grooving, Fluting, And Veining:
Always UNPLUG the router before making any
settings, adjustments, or changing bits.
When routing, always FEED AGAINST the rotation
of the cutter. Feed workpiece in the direction of
arrow, as in Figure 28.
For maximum accuracy, one edge of your workpiece
(edge sliding against the fence) must be true and
straight. Set up your fence as follows:
1. Position the fence behind the router bit for the
desired cutting depth (the distance of the cut from
the edge of the workpiece, as shown in Figure 29).
Make sure the overhead guard is in place as shown.
2. Securely TIGHTEN both knobs.
3. Make the cut by sliding the straight edge of workpiece
against the fence, as shown in Figure 30 (For each
successive cut, the fence would need to be readjusted.)

direction of arrow. (Refer to Figure 30.)

NOTE
trolled by router bit) in a workpiece, remove a small
amount of material to prevent your router from over-
loading. Repeat operation with several gradually
deeper passes until the desired depth is achieved.
END CUTTING USING THE FENCE WITH
THE PUSH BLOCK
I,_WARNINGJ End cutting is performed with the
overhead guard rotated back so that it does not
cover the bit. Therefore, EXTREME CARE must be
taken when end cutting so that your fingers, hands,
or any other part of your body, DO NOT contact the
bit, which can resulT, in serious bodily injury.
When routing on ends of workpiece for making
tenons, sliding dovetails and tongue and groove
joints, the workpiece must be made smooth with
