NOTE:
The motor housing can be temporarily secured by
clamping the lever (the motor housing does not slide

while turning the knob nut counterclockwise loosens
the lever.

(1) Template Guide:
Use the template guide when employing a template
for producing a large quantity of identically shaped
products.
As shown in Fig. 6, secure the template guide to the
base of the router with two accessory screws. At this
time, ensure that the projection side of the template
guide is facing the bottom surface of the base of the
router.

A template is a profiling mold made of plywood or
thin lumber. When making a template, pay particular
attention to the matters cescribed blow and illustrated
in Fig. 7.
When using the router along the interior plane of the
template, the dimensions of the finished product will
be less than the dimensions of the template by an
amount equal to dimension "A", the difference
between the radius of the template guide and the
radius of the bit. The reverse is frue when using the
router along the exterior of the template.
