Using a Side Fence (Fig. M)
CAUTION: Ensure working position is comfortable and
at a suitable working height.
1. Ensure the wing bolts
guide rods
26
into the routing base
the wing bolts.
2. Adjust the fence fine adjustment knob
required distance and clamp in place with the wing
bolts
28
.
3. Then lower the cutter height until the cutter is just above
the workpiece.
4. Fine adjustments are possible by loosening the
wing bolt
28
and adjusting the side fence fine
adjustment knob
29
5. Tighten the wing bolt
nOTE: One revolution of the side fence fine adjustment
knob
29
equals 3/64" (1.0 mm) of side feed.
6. Lower the cutter onto the workpiece and set the cutter
height by to the required distance. Refer to Setting the
Router Depth.
7. Switch the router on and after the cutter reaches full
speed, gently lower the cutter into the workpiece and
lock the plunge.
8. Feed along the workpiece, keeping sideways pressure to
ensure the side fence does not wander away from the
workpiece edge and downward pressure on the inside
hand to prevent the router from tipping.
9. When finished, raise the router, secure with the plunge
locking lever
6
and switch the router off.
nOTE: When starting the cut, keep the pressure on the front
cheek until the back cheek contacts the workpiece edge.
nOTE: At the end of the cut, keep pressure on the back
cheek until the cut is finished. This will prevent the router
cutter swinging in at the end of the workpiece and
nipping the corner.
Side Fence Routing (Fig. I, J)
The side fence is used to guide the router when moulding,
edge profiling or rebating the edge of a workpiece or when
routing grooves and slots in the center of the workpiece,
parallel to the edge.
The edge of the workpiece must be straight and true.
The strips
31
are adjustable and should be set ideally with a
1/8" (3 mm) gap each side of the cutter.
