NOTE:
Roundover bits with bearings are excellent
•
for shaping the edge of any workpiece that
is either straight or curved, if the curvature is
at least as great as the radius of the bit to be
used.
If the distance between the side of the
•
workpiece and the cutting position is too
wide for the edge guide, or if the side of
the workpiece is not straight, firmly clamp a
straight board to the workpiece and use it as
a guide against the router base. Feed the tool
in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 11c).
WARNING
workpiece and result in loss of control, causing possibly serious personal injury .
CIRCULAR ROUTING (Fig. 12a-12c)
For circular work, reassemble the knob and
screw on the edge guide assembly as shown
in Fig. 12a (smaller radius of cut) or Fig. 12b
(larger radius of cut).
The minimum and maximum radius of circles
to be cut (distance between the center of circle
and the center of the bit) are 3-11/32" and
8-5/64" (85 mm and 205 mm) respectively.
1. Securely attach the edge guide assembly to
the fixed base.
2. Align the center hole in the edge guide
assembly with the center of the circle to be
cut.
3. Drive a nail slightly less than 1/4" (6.5 mm)
in diameter into the center hole to secure the
edge guide assembly.
4. Attach the battery pack, turn on the tool and
allow it to reach its full speed.
5. Gradually feed the cutter bit into the
workpiece until the sub-base is level with the
workpiece.

Removing the cutter bit
from the workpiece while it is still rotating could damage the
