Router guard

a router guard is included with your machine to
reduce the risk of accidental cutter contact during
operation. the router guard (see figure 14) is
also designed to be connected to a dust collector
to help collect dust and chips during operation.
figure 14. router guard.
the router guard is intended to be used with a
shop-made fence and must be used when mak-
ing cuts that leave part of the router bit exposed
to the operator.
the fence setup requires making a support board
and two fence pieces. the support board aids in
mounting and remounting the fence pieces.
the fence pieces must be moved in or out to
minimize router bit clearance for maximum safety
and support. often, more than one fence will be
necessary to safely accommodate various sized
router bits.
To make a shop made fence and install the
router guard:
1. Make a support board with a piece of 1
stock, approximately 28" long, cut to 2
and square up on all sides (figure 15).
