indicated on the shank. This ensures that at least 3 ⁄
4 of the shank length is held in the collet. Ensure clamping surfaces are cleaned to remove dirt, grease, oil and water.
7.
Do not switch router on with the cutter touching the workpiece. At the end of the cut, release the router plunge and allow spindle to stop rotating. Never use the spindle lock as a brake
10.
Observe the correct assembly and fitting instructions in the router instruction manual for fitting the collet, nut and cutter. component being machined. Ensure any attachment is securely fitted to the workbench, with table surface at approximately hip height.
6.
Use a No-Volt Release Switch. Ensure it is fixed securely, easily accessible and used correctly.
8.
The direction of routing must always be opposite to the cutter's direction of rotation. Do not back-cut or climb-cut.
9.
Check before cutting that there are no obstructions in the path of the router.
Ensure there are no obstacles beneath workpiece when cutting full thickness, and that a sacrificial work surface is used.
11.
Tool and tool bodies shall be clamped in such a way that they will not become loose during operation. Care shall be taken when mounting cutting tools to ensure that the clamping is by the shank of the cutting tool and that the cutting edges are not in contact with each other or with the clamping elements.
Router Cutter Safety
1.
Cutting tools are sharp. Care should be taken when handling them. Do not drop cutters or knock them against hard objects. Handle very small diameter cutters with extra care.
Always return cutter to its packaging after use.
12.
It is advisable to periodically check the collet and collet nut. A damaged, worn or distorted collet and nut can cause vibration and shank damage.
Do not over-tighten the collet nut
13.
Do not take deep cuts in one pass; take several shallow or light passes to reduce the side load applied to the cutter and router. Too deep a cut in one pass can stall the router.
2.
Always use cutters with a shank diameter corresponding to the size of the collet installed in your tool.
3.
The maximum speed (n.max) marked on the tool, or in instructions or on packaging shall not be exceeded.
Where stated the speed range shall be adhered to. Recommended speeds are shown in the Trend Routing
Catalogue and/or website.
15.
In case of excessive vibrations whilst using the router stop immediately and have the eccentricity of the router, router cutter and clamping system checked by competent personnel
15.
All fastening screws and nuts should be tightened using the appropriate spanner or key and to the torque value provided by the manufacturer.
4.
Always use router cutters in a router.
Drill and boring bits must not be used in a router. Router cutters must only be used for the material cutting application for which they are designed. Do not use on metal or masonry.
5.
Never use cutters with a diameter exceeding the maximum diameter indicated in the technical data of the powertool or attachment used.
16.
17.
Extension of the spanner or tightening using hammer blows shall not be permitted.
Clamping screws shall be tightened according to instructions provided by the manufacture. Where instructions are not provided, clamping screws shall be tightened in sequence from the centre outwards.
Using Routers In A Fixed Position
6.
Before each use check that the cutting tool is sharp and free from damage.
Do not use the cutting tool if it is dull, broken or cracked or if in any other damage is noticeable or suspected.
1.
Attention should be made to the
HSE’s Safe Use of Vertical Spindle
Moulding Machines Information Sheet
No.18 and any revisions.
2.
After work, release the router plunge to protect the cutter.
7.
Cutters should be kept clean. Resin build up should be removed at regular intervals with Resin Cleaner ® . The use of a PTFE dry lubricant will reduce resin build up. Do not use
PTFE spray on plastic parts.
3.
Always use a push-stick or push-block when making any cut less than
300mm in length or when feeding the last 300mm of the cut.
7.
In router table (inverted) mode, stand to the front right of the table. The cutter will rotate anti-clockwise when viewed from top so the feed direction is from the right (against the rotation of the cutter). In overhead mode, stand to the front left of the machine table and the feed direction is from the left.
8.
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.
9.
Never thickness timber between the back of the cutter and the backfence.
Useful Advice When Routing
1.
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.
2.
Trial cuts should be made on waste material before starting any project.
3.
When using some attachments e.g. a router table or dovetail jig, a fine height adjuster is recommended.
4.
When using a template guide bush, ensure there is sufficient clearance between cutter tip and inside edge of bush and that it cannot come into contact with collet and nut. Ensure cutter and guide bush are concentric.
Router Cutter Repair/Maintenance
1.
Repair of tools is only allowed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
3.
The design of composite (tipped) tools shall not be changed in process of repair. Composite tools shall be repaired by a competent person i.e. a person of training and experience, who has knowledge of the design requirements and understands the levels of safety to be achieved.
4.
Repair shall therefore include, e.g. the use of spare parts which are in accordance with the specification of the original parts provided by the manufacturer.
5.
Tolerances which ensure correct clamping shall be maintained.
8.
When using stacked tooling (multiblade, block and groover etc.) on a spindle arbor, ensure that the cutting edges are staggered to each other to reduce the cutting impact.
4.
The opening around the cutter should be reduced to a minimum using suitably sized insert rings in the table and closing the back fence cheeks or fitting a false fence on the back fence.
6.
Care shall be taken that regrinding of the cutting edge will not cause weakening of the body and the connection of the cutting edge to the body.
9.
Cutter shanks should be inserted into the collet all the way to the line
5.
Whenever possible use a work holding device or jig to secure

TIMBER PREPARATION
& MARKING OUT
Marking Out the Tenon
It is essential that the timber is square all round. Study the drawings and select the appropriate type of tenon.
Straight tenon
Mark up the centre line on the end of the first piece of timber using a marking gauge.
Mark the tenon end marks using a set square.
Generally aim for the end tenon marks to be equal to the width of the tenon (X).
This may not always be possible for side angled tenons as the length of the tenon and the angle required may cause restrictions.
30º Side angled tenon
Mark out the length of the tenon.
Generally keep the tenon as long as possible for increased gluing surface. For through tenons, make the tenon length equal to the timber width plus
1 ⁄
8
” for trimming afterwards
15º Front angled tenon
When mounting timber in the jig keep the face side towards the jig.

Repeat procedure to for right hand template using relevant right hand mark on set-up bar.
NOTE:
Problems with tenons of 5/8” may occur as corners of the timber may remain after normal routing procedures. This can be overcome by routing material A and B prior to routing the tenon.
First move the top plate approximately
1/4" forwards and rout away material A.
Then move the top plate 1/4" rearwards of the tenon centre line and rout away material B.
Then continue to setup the top plate and rout as normal.
