are improperly
anytime it would result in:
• The front of the bit is exposed during the
actual cutting (Fig. 23).
• "Climb-cutting" - The bit must not enter the
workpiece in the same direction as the feed
direction, which is likely to cause the
workpiece to "climb" and may lead to loss of
control during operation (Fig. 24).
"Fence Traps": One type of improper fence
location warrants special attention: "Fence
traps" happen when the fence is positioned so
far back that front side (power switch side) of
the workpiece would be behind the router bit.
Fence traps are dangerous
WARNING
!
for two reasons:
• Exposure of the bit on the front side (power
switch side) of the workpiece.
• Likeliness of climb cut, which can cause loss
of control.
Figure 23 shows a fence trap.
Do not feed the workpiece from left to right:
(Fig. 24)
• It would cause climb-cutting.
• It would be difficult to keep the workpiece
