OPERATION

Carefully remove the protective wax from the cutter and dispose Insert the cutter shank into the collet at least all the way to the marked line indicated on the shank. This ensures at least 3/4 of the shank is held in the collet.

The cutter can be used freehand in any portable router which has the capacity to take a 1/2” (12.7mm) shank. If the cutter is to be used in a workshop environment then

the cutter can be used in routers which are mounted in an overhead mode or are inverted in a table. To use the router in a stationary position would necessitate machining any stiles or rails before the final assembly of the door or frame.

The cutter should be used at the full speed of the router.

Recommended speed is 18,000 rpm.

4. Before each use check cutter is sharp and free from damage. Do not use if cutter is dull, broken or cracked or if any damage is noticeable or suspected.

5. The maximum speed (nmax) marked on tool or in instructions or on packaging shall not be exceeded. Where stated, the speed range should be adhered to.

6. Insert the shank into the router collet at least all the way to the marked line indicated on the shank. This ensures at least 3/4 of shank length is held in collet. Ensure clamping surfaces are clean.
