1.2 Identification of Operating Features and Controls

Power Switch: Located on the left side of the machine, this toggle
switch turns on the Pocket Router Motor and the Pilot Drill Motor as
well as energizing the Controls.

Clamp Cylinder: The large cylinder on the top of the machine is a
clamp that holds the work piece safely in place during operation. This
is a single-acting, spring-return, pneumatic cylinder with a padded foot
on the end of the cylinder rod.

Clamp Guard: The yellow metal Clamp Guard on top of the machine
serves to secure the Clamp Cylinder and to safeguard the operator
from the clamping and pocket cutting action.

Router Stop Plate: Located just inside the rear door, this black metal
plate extends through the top of the case and along the right side of
the Clamp Guard. The position of this plate determines the size of the
“Web.”

Foot Pedal and Guard: Mounted inside a yellow metal guard, the
Foot Pedal is connected to the machine by an electrical cord.
Pressing the Foot Pedal will activate the machine cycle (but only if the
Safety Buttons are depressed by the work piece as well).

Safety Buttons: Two small, silver button-head screws under the
Clamp Guard detect if a work piece is in place for pocketing. The
machine will not cycle unless these buttons are depressed
simultaneously with the Foot Pedal.

Safety Switch: This magnetic proximity switch is mounted inside,
near the top of the TSM-21. It is activated when the Safety Buttons
are depressed by the work piece.
