DIRECTION
OF FEED - INTERNAL
CUTS (Figs. 14 and 14a)
When making an internal cut,
such as a groove, dado, or
slot, the edge guide, straight
edge, or board guide must
always be positioned
on the
right-hand
side of the router
as you make the cut (Fig. 14).
When the guide is positioned
on the right hand side of
the router, the router travel
should be from left to right
and "counterclockwise"
around curves (see Fig. 14).
This counterclockwise
action
around the curve could cause
"Climb
cutting".
Always be
alert and exercise extreme
caution to maintain control of
the router when making this
type of cut around curves.
When the guide is positioned
as shown in Fig. 18a, the
router travel should
be from
left to right and clockwise
around curves.

If there is a choice, the set-
up in Fig. 14 is easier to use,
but there is the possibility
of
"Climb
Cutting"
around curves. In either case, Fig. 14 or Fig. 16a, the sideways
thrust of the router cutting
is always against the guide, as is proper.
WARNING:
Always securely clamp the workpiece
in place, and keep a firm
grip on the router base with both hands at all times. Failure to do so could result
in loss of control causing
possible
serious personal
injury.
