11. General information about routing

11.1 Routing using the parallel/transverse fence (not within the scope of
delivery)
1) Remove the mains plug of the router.
2) Insert the desired bit (see user manual of the router).
3) Adjust the desired milling depth.
NOTE
Mill in several stages in steps of a few millimetres.
4) Abut the workpiece to 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 ar
row indicating 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
milling pattern will be poor.
7) Switch off the router.
11.2 Routing freehand using the starting pin (separate accessory)
! WARNING
Exercise extreme caution during this process, there is an increased risk of re-
bounding! Equip your router table with a hood to provide an extraction option
and a shield to the router bit.
As a rule this method is intended for milling with a template. Make sure that the
workpiece and template are securely attached to each other and there is a workpiece
overhang (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 milling depth.
4) Install the starting pin for freehand routing (8).
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 milling pattern will be poor.
7) Switch off the router.
