FIG. G
Direction of Feed (Fig. H, I)
Figures H and I show proper direction of feed for some
typical cuts.

The direction of feed is important in router usage. Be sure
the cutter is rotating into the stock by moving left to right
on outside edges and clockwise on inside cuts.

WARNING: Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in
direction opposite than shown in Figure I).
Climb-cutting increases the chance for loss of control
resulting in possible injury. When climb-cutting is
required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme
caution to maintain control of router. Make smaller
cuts and remove minimal material with each pass.
FIG. I
Dust Collection and Extraction (Fig. J)
To set the router for dust extraction
1. If required, insert the dust extraction hose adapter
into the dust extraction port
2. Slip the end of any standard vacuum cleaner tube into
the hose adapter.
3. When using dust extraction, be sure that the vacuum
cleaner is out of the way and secure so that it will not
tip over or interfere with the router or workpiece. The
vacuum hose and power cord must also be positioned
so that they don't interfere with the router or workpiece.
If the vacuum cleaner or vacuum hose cannot be
positioned properly, it should be removed.
4. Turn on vacuum cleaner before router.
5. Empty the vacuum cleaner as necessary.

nOTE: The router comes with a clear plastic removable
guard over the cutting area. Do not attempt to plunge cut
through the plastic guard. The guard is used to assist the
dust collection.
Your router includes a dust extraction cap. Be sure it is in
place over the dust extraction port if you are not using
a vacuum.
