Fine
adjustment
The router is equipped
with a true micrometer-
type fine adjustment mechanism,
which can be
used in any plunge
position
and provides
pre-
cise adjustment
of the router
bit position
for
unmatched
accuracy.
When the tool is plunged
to the approximate
position
desired, this device
may be adjusted to precisely
set the final cutter
position.
To use the fine adjustment,
turn the fine adjust
knob
1 clockwise
to lower
the router
bit or
counter-c!ockwise
to raise it, as indicated
by
the an-ow molded
into the top of the knob.
To
allow
precise
settings,
the
indicator
ring
is
graduated
in English
and Metric
increments,
and each line is equal to 1/10 mm or .004". The
indicator
ring may
be reset
to zero without
moving
the fine-adjust
knob, to allow the user
to begin
the adjustment
from
any reference
point desired.
The fine adjustment
mechanism
has
a total
adjustment
range of 5/8", which is indicated
by
the two lines printed
on back of the housing.
Whenever
the fine adjustment
is used, be cer-
tain that
the index
marker
17 is positioned
between
these two lines to ensure that there will
be enough
travel in the desired
direction
after
the router is plunged
into position.
Note that
when the router is plunged
to maximum
depth
or is fully retracted
to the top of the posts, the
fine adjustment
mechanism
will not move the
motor further down or up, as the full extension
of the travel has been reached
at these points.
Similarly,
the fine adjustment
cannot lower the
bit when the depth
indicator
rod is tightened
against
the depth turret.
Direction
of Feed
The router rotates in a clockwise
direction,
as
viewed
from the top of the router.
The correct
relationship
between
direction
of router bit or
cutter rotation and router feed is shown below.
It is very
important
to move the router in the
proper direction or router bit chatter and rough
cutting will be the resu!t.
As an example,
to
rout a decorative edge on the front of a table top,
you would move the router from left to right to
perform
the operation,
or counter-clockwise
around
the workpiece.
If you were cutting
an
opening
in the center of a panel, you would feed
the router in a clockwise
direction,
so that the
edge of the opening
would
be cut against
the
rotation of the router bit as described,
and have
a smooth
finish.
Whenever
you are cutting
completely
around
a workpiece,
it is advisable
to cut across
the grain
first,
so any corner
tearout
may be smoothed
by cutting
with the
grain on the second
pass.
DIRECTION
OF FEED
Rate
of Feed
When routing or doing related work
in wood
and plastics,
the best finishes
will result if the
depth of cut and feed rate are regulated
to keep
the motor operating
at high
speed.
Feed the
router at a moderate rate. Soft materials require
a faster feed rate than hard materials.
The router
may
stall if improperly
used or
overloaded.
Reduce
the feed rate to prevent
possible
damage to the tool. Always
be sure the
collet
nut is tightened
securely
before
use.
Always
use router bits with the shortest
cutting
length
necessary
to produce
the desired
cut.
This will minimize
router bit run-out
and chat-
ter.
Templet
Guides
The router is equipped with anexclusive quick-
change templet guide mechanism, which firmly
grips the guides with a spring-loaded ring built
into the base. To in-
sert
or change
the
templet guide 24, re-
tract
the
templet
guide
lock]release
lever 6.
Align
any
two of the four cut-
away
tabs
on the
templet guide
to the
two cast-in bosses in
the templet guide re-
cess
of the
base.
