Edge Planing

The router table fence features fully independent fence cheeks which allow the fence to double as a vertical planer for a 1.4mm or 2.4mm offset. To set up for edge planing, remove the two jointing rods which are stored in the top slot of the fence, loosen the outfeed fence cheek and place the rods into the shallow recesses behind the outfeed fence.

The rods can be parked in the T-slots in the top of the back fence. The rods are held by tightening the knobs.

To position the fence at the 1.4mm setting, slide the rods into the deeper recesses, as shown below and tighten the fence cheeks locking knobs.

1.4mm offset

To position the fence at the 2.4mm setting, slide the rods into the shallower recesses, as shown below and tighten the fence cheeks locking knobs.

2.4mm offset

After use, keep back fence assembled and fitted to the router table top.

Safety Points

1. Disconnect power tool and attachment from power supply when not in use, before servicing, when making adjustments and when changing accessories such as cutters. Ensure switch is in “off” position and cutter has stopped rotating.

2. Read and understand instructions supplied with power tool, attachment and cutter.

3. Current Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for eye, ear and respiratory protection must be worn. Keep hands, hair and clothes clear of the cutter.

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.

7. Check all fixing and fastening nuts, bolts and screws on power tool, attachment and cutting tools are correctly assembled, tight and to correct torque setting before use.

8. Ensure all visors, guards and dust extraction is fitted.

9. The direction of routing must always be opposite to the cutter’s direction of rotation.

10. Do not switch power tool on with the cutter touching the workpiece.

11. Trial cuts should be made in waste material before starting any project.

12. Repair of tools is only allowed according to tool manufacturers instructions.

13. Do not take deep cuts in one pass, take shallow passes to reduce the side load applied to the cutter.
