11. General Routing Information

11.1 Routing using a Parallel or Traverse Fence (Not Included)
1) Remove the mains plug of the router.
2) Insert the desired bit (see user manual of the router).
3) Adjust the desired routing depth.
Rout in several stages in steps of a few millimetres.
NOTE
4) Place the workpiece tight against the fence.
5) Connect the mains connector of the router and switch on the router.
6) Slide the workpiece against the router bit's direction of rotation (note the arrow in-
dicating the direction of rotation on the router table, OFL router lift) past the router bit.
Keep to an even, medium feed rate. If the feed rate is too slow, this will cause traces
of burning and overheat the bit. If you feed too quickly, the cutting pattern will be poor.
7) Switch off the router.
11.2 Routing freehand with a pin
(separate accessory, Art.Nr. SA-RTS-KIT)
! !
WARNING WARNING
Exercise extreme caution during this process, there is an increased risk of kick-
back! Equip your router table with a hood to provide an dust extraction and a
guard for the router bit.
As a rule this method is intended for milling with a template. Make sure that the work-
piece and template are securely attached to each other and there is a workpiece over-
hang (the outline to be removed) of less than 3 mm. Small or short workpieces must be
safely guided by a larger template.
Please read the corresponding professional literature if you are not familiar
with this method.
1) Remove the mains plug of the router.
2) Insert the desired bit. Exclusively router bits with ball bearing pilots are suitable.
3) Adjust the desired cutting depth.
4) Install the starting pin for freehand routing.
5) Connect the mains connector of the router and switch on the router.
6) Position the workpiece at the pin and use it like a ramp towards the router bit. Always
move the workpiece in contrary to the direction of rotation of the bit at an even feed rate.
If the feed rate is too slow, this will cause traces of burning and over heat the bit. If you
feed too quickly, the cutting pattern will be poor.
7) Switch off the router.
