ENTERING THE WORKPIECE

For best control and results, always allow the

router to complete its soft-start ramp up to the

speed set (as set using the speed dial) before

bringing the bit cutter into contact with

workpiece.

Operating in this manner will prolong switch

and motor life and will greatly increase the

quality of your work.

FEEDING THE ROUTER

As seen from the top of the router, the bit turns

clockwise and the cutting edges face

accordingly. Therefore, the most efficient cut is

made by feeding the router so that the bit turns

into the work, not away. Figure 14 shows

proper feed for various cuts.

FEED RATE

The proper feed rate depends on the hardness

of the material and the size of the cut. The best

result are achieved when the depth of cut and

feed rate allow the motor to operating at the

proper speed. Feed the router at a moderate

rate. Feed smoothly and steadily (do not

force). You will soon learn how the router

sounds and feels when it is working best.

ROUTING TIPS

• Always use router bits with the shortest

cutting length necessary to produce the

desired cut. This will minimize router bit

chatter.

• Always be sure the collet chuck is tightened

securely before use.

• Soft materials require a faster feed rate than

hard materials.

• The router may stall if improperly used or

overloaded.

• Reduce the feed rate to prevent possible

damage to the tool.

• To be certain that your depth and speed

settings provide the desired results, test the

settings by routing some scrap material

before routing the actual workpiece.

• If the router is hard to control, heats up, runs

very slowly or leaves an imperfect cut,

consider these causes:

1. Wrong direction of feed — hard to control.

2. Feeding too fast — overloads motor.

3. Dull bit — overloads motor.

4. Cut is too large for one pass — overloads

motor.

5. Feeding too slow — leaves friction burns

on work.

When routing deep cuts, it is best to make

multiple progressively deeper cuts rather than

trying to rout the full depth in one pass. The

appropriate depth of cut will depend on the

type of material and the type of cutter being

used. The MRP01 Plunge Base and its

multiple-step turret is ideally suited for multiple-

pass routing situations. (See “PLUNGE BASE

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT” section.)

EXITING THE WORKPIECE

For best control and results, always move the

router so that the bit cutter exits from the

workpiece before switching off the router.

Operating in this manner will prolong switch

and motor life and will greatly increase the

quality of your work.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

In the unlikely event that the motor becomes

overloaded, it will stop automatically. To

restart, release the on/off switch, then unplug

the cord and plug back into the power source,

then start the tool in the normal manner.

(When the router is mounted in a router table

and connected to the table's switch, and the

lock-on button is engaged, restart can be

achieved by simply turning the table's switch

off and then on again.)

Allow the motor to cool down for 30 seconds

by running with no load. If the overload

protection stops the tool repeatedly, excessive

force is causing the tool to overload.. Don't

push so hard and let the tool do the work.
