Routing Safety ■Disconnect router power tool. When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as cutters, disconnect router and attachment from power supply. ■Ensure router cutter has stopped rotating before changing it. Never use the spindle lock as a brake. ■Remove adjusting keys and spanners. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting spanners are removed from the router tool, cutter and attachment before turning router on. Make sure cutter can rotate freely. ■Check all ball bearing and blade fixing screws before use to ensure they are tight and secure. Periodically check when machining over long periods. ■When using a template guide bush ensure it cannot come into contact with collet and nut. ■Noise. Take appropriate measures for the protection of hearing if the sound pressure of PIVOT FRAME JIG -3- 85dB(A) is exceeded. Routing sound pressure may exceed 85dB(A), so ear protection must be worn. ■Eye protection. Wear safety goggles, spectacles or visors to protect the eyes from ejected waster particles. ■Respiratory protection. Wear a face or dust mask, or powered respirator. Dust masks/filters should be changed regularly. ■Do not switch router on with the cutter touching the workpiece. ■The direction of routing must always be opposite to the cutter's direction of rotation. ■After work, release the router plunge and allow spindle to stop rotating before putting machine down. ■Check before cutting that there are no obstructions in the path of the router. When cutting through the full thickness of the workpiece, ensure there are no obstacles beneath workpiece, and that a sacrificial work surface is used. Additional Safety Rules For Router Cutters ■Cutting tools are sharp. Care should be taken when handling them. ■Always use cutters with a shank diameter corresponding to the size of the collet installed in your tool. ■Always run router cutters at the spindle speed recommended and marked accordingly. Ensure cutter has reached correct speed before entering workpiece. Recommended speeds can be found on the packaging, in cutter instructions or in the Trend Routing Catalogue. ■Always use router cutters in a router. Router cutters must not be used in a drill. Drill and boring bits must not be used in a router. ■Never use cutters with a diameter exceeding the maximum diameter indicated in the technical data. ■Do not drop cutters or knock them against hard objects. Do not use cutters that are damaged. ■Cutters should be kept clean. Resin build up should be removed at regular intervals with Resin Cleaner®. The use of a dry lubricant (Trendicote® PTFE) will act as a preventative. Do not use PTFE spray on plastic parts. ■Cutter shanks should be inserted into the collet to the mark line on the shank. This ensures that at least 3/4 of the shank length is held in the collet. Do not over- tighten the collet nut as this will score the shank and create a weakness and fracture point. ■Observe the correct assembly instructions in the router instruction manual for fitting the collet and nut. Observe the router power tool manual instructions on fitting cutters correctly. ■It is advisable to periodically check the collet and collet nut. A worn, distorted or damaged collet can cause vibration and damage the shank, and should be replaced. Worn collet nuts should be replaced. ■Do not take deep cuts in one pass; take several shallow or light passes to reduce the side load applied to the cutter. Too deep a cut in one pass can stall the router. ■Very small diameter cutters must be handled and used with care. ■Always return cutter to its packaging after use. Using Routers In A Fixed Position ■After work, release the router plunge to protect the cutter. ■Always use a push-stick or push- block for last 300mm of the cut. ■Whenever possible use a work holding device or jig to secure component being machined. ■Ensure attachment is securely fitted to the workbench, with table surface at approximately hip height. ■Ensure a No-Volt Release Switch is fixed to or adjacent to the attachment and that it is used correctly. ■Check the direction of the workpiece is always opposite to the cutter's direction of rotation. ■Do not use awkward or uncomfortable hand positions. ■Do not reach underneath table or put your hands or fingers at any time in the cutting path while tool is connected to a power supply. Useful Advice When Routing ■Judge your feed rate by the sound of the motor. ■Feed the router at a constant feed rate. Too slow a feed rate will result in burning. ■Take many light passes rather than one deep cut to reduce the side load applied to both router and router cutter. ■Trial cuts should be made on waste material before starting any project. ■When using some attachments including a router table or dovetail jig, the use of a fine height adjuster is highly recommended. ■When using a template guide bush, ensure there is sufficient clearance between cutter tip and inside each of bush. Ensure cutter and guide bush are concentric. Version 2.0 10/2002 PIVOT FRAME JIG
