Proper Hand Position (Fig. 22a, 22b)
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of
a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires both hands to be placed
on the two handles of the plunge base. For the trim
base, one hand should be placed on the comfort grip
with the other holding the base firmly to the workpiece.
CAUTION:
After long periods of working at
low speeds, allow the machine to cool down by running
it for three minutes at maximum speed, with no load.
Moulding Natural Timbers
WARNING:
When routing with plunge base
(T1EPS only), always lock the plunge locking lever.
When edge moulding natural timbers, always mould the
end grain first, followed by the long grain. This ensures
that if there is breakout, it will be removed when the long
grain is routed.
