To guard against and help prevent Kickback, plan your set-up and direction of feed so that
you're always keeping the sharp edges of the cutter bit biting straight into uncut wood. Always
inspect your workpiece for knots, hard grain, and foreign objects.
WARNING
kickback as described in the operator's manual.
Direction of Feed- Internal Cuts (Figs . 18 and 18a)
When making an internal cut, such as a groove, dado, or slot, always have the guide you are
using with the router (edge guide, straight edge, or board guide) on the right-hand side of the
router as you make the cut (Fig.18).
When the guide is positioned on the right hand side of the router, the router travel should be
from left to right and "counterclockwise" around curves (see Fig. 18).
This counterclockwise action around the curve could cause "Climb cutting". Always be alert
and exercise extreme caution to maintain control of the router when making this type of cut
around curves.
When the guide is positioned as shown in Fig. 18a, the router travel should be from left to right
and clockwise around curves.
If there is a choice, the set-up in Fig. 18 is easier to use, but there is the possibility of "Climb
Cutting" around curves. In either case, Fig. 18 or Fig. 18a, the sideways thrust of the router
cutting is always against the guide, as is proper.
