OPERATION
ROUTING WITH GUIDE BUSHING
You can accurately duplicate curves and complex shapes by
fitting your router with a template guide bushing that extends
below the subbase. The router bit passes through the guide
bushing. The guide bushing then rides against a template.
INSTALLING TEMPLATE GUIDE BUSHING
See Figures 5 - 7.
n � Unplug your router.
n � Place router upside down on workbench.
n � Place template guide bushing in recessed portion of
router base.
n � Align the cutouts in guide bushing with threaded holes in
base.
n � Secure guide bushing to router base with screws pro-
vided.
n � Tighten screws securely.
WARNING:
Failure to tighten screws could cause bit to come in con-
tact with bushing, resulting in serious injury.
When routing with template guide bushings it is necessary
to allow for size differences between the cutting edge of the
bit and the face of the guide bushing collar. When making
templates, always allow for this size difference.
