manual abstract
CAUTION: The router will "kick" when started. If it comes into contact with the workpiece it could jump out of your hands and cause injury. 4. Smoothly move the router in the correct feed direction into the workpiece. CAUTION: DO NOT start routing at a corner. Starting at a corner may cause the router to grab, damaging the workpiece corner, and possibly causing personal injury. 5. Feed the router along the workpiece at a consistent rate of speed. Be aware of the sound of the router motor and the sound of the bit cutting. If the motor begins to bog down, or the sound pitch of the router bit lowers, reduce the feed rate. 6. When finished routing, turn the router OFF, and allow it to come to a complete stop before setting it down. • Performing routing operations in multiple passes produces smoother results with less chance of “chip out” and burning of the workpiece. It also reduces the possibility of the router jerking out of your hands from trying to remove too much material in one pass. • Cutting end grain with the router will cause tearout. Cutting the end grain first allows the tearout to be trimmed off by the side cuts. • Feed the router in a counterclockwise direction when routing the outside edges of a workpiece. Feed the router clockwise when routing interior holes. • The correct feed speed depends on the speed of the router, bit size, shape, and sharpness, and the characteristics of the workpiece. Feeding the router too fast will cause chatter marks, chip out, and possibly damage the bit and motor. Feeding the router too slow will cause burn marks and extra build-up on the router bit. Make a test cut on a sample scrap of the workpiece to determine the correct feed speed. A router fed at the correct speed should make large, thin shavings. Model H7790/H7791 Laminate Trim Router -11 Curved Trim Guide The curved trim guide is used for trimming curved surfaces, such as adding a decorative edge to a round table or trimming curved corners on a laminate countertop. This guide is only necessary with router bits that do not have a guide bearing. The bushing in the curved trim guide rides along the edge of the workpiece guiding the router bit. To use the curved trim guide: 1. Slide the trim guide onto the base plate as shown in Figure 6, set the guide height, and tighten the height adjustment lock knob. Figure 6.Curved trim guide adjustments. Height Adjustment Lock Knob Depth Adjustment Depth Adjustment Lock Knob 2. Loosen the depth adjustment lock knob and turn the depth adjustment to adjust the depth of cut. 3. Follow the instructions in Routing Operations on Page 11 and make a test cut by sliding the guide bushing along the edge of a scrap piece of wood. 4. TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE ROUTER, then make the necessary adjustments to the height and depth of the curved trim guide. 5. Repeat Steps 1–4 until the cut is the correct height and depth. Straight Guide The straight guide can be used for trimming, cutting dadoes, straight dovetails, and for cutting circles. Only use router bits with no guide bearing when using the straight guide. To use the straight guide tor trimming: 1. Slide the straight guide onto the base plate as shown in Figure 7, then set the guide height and tighten the lock knob. Figure 7. Straight guide installation. 2. Loosen the wing nut and slide the straight guide to approximately the desired depth. 3. Follow the instructions in Routing Operations on Page 11 and make a test cut by sliding the straight guide along the edge of a scrap piece of wood. 4. TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE ROUTER, then make the necessary adjustments to the straight guide. 5. Repeat Steps 2–4 until the cut is correct. -12- Model H7790/H7791 Laminate Trim Router To use the straight guide for interior cuts. 1. Set up the straight guide as explained for trimming, but adjust the guide to allow the router bit to follow an interior slot. Note: When cutting interior slots, the router will tend to wander toward the guide. Keep a constant pressure towards the workpiece, and pull the router towards you, instead of pushing the router. 2. Make sure there is enough excess material at the end of the cut to support the straight guide. If the guide slips off of the end of the workpiece, it will wander off of the desired line. You may wish to add a longer piece of wood to the workpiece for the straight guide to follow. 3. Follow the instructions in Routing Operations on Page 11 to make the desired cut as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8. Routing a slot. To use the straight guide for cutting circles. 1. Set up the straight guide as shown in Figure 9 with the guide plate facing up. Note: The router will cut circles from 23.4"–43.4" when the lock bolt is placed in the hole closest to the router and it can cut circles from 43.4"–85.8" when the lock bolt is placed in the hole farthest from the router. Figure 9. Guide setup for cutting circles. 2. Use a compass to mark the desired circle on the workpiece, then drive a small nail into the workpiece at the ...
