Using the Guide Bushes (fi g. 7)
1. Secure the template to the workpiece using end
clamps.
2. Select and install an appropriate guide bush (z).
3. Subtract the diameter of the cutter from the
outside diameter of the guide bush and divide
by 2. This is the difference between template

enough, place it on a piece of waste
wood.

Guiding Off a Batten
Where an edge guide cannot be used, it is also
possible to guide the router along a batten clamped
across the workpiece (with an overhang at
both ends).

Freehand Routing

Your router can also be used without any sort of
guide, e.g. for signwriting or creative work.
WARNING: Make shallow cuts only!
Use cutters with a max. diameter of
8 mm.
Routing with Pilot Cutters (fi g. 2)
Where a parallel guide or guide bush are
inappropriate, it is possible to use pilot cutters (dd)
for cutting shaped edges.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
These include collets (6–12 mm), a depth stop
for use in inverted position, finger jointing tools
for dovetail and finger jointing jigs, dowel jointing
templates, guide bushes (17–40 mm) and guide rails
in various lengths.
