[. . . ] Workpiece to be routed could be substituted for the scrap board for making adjustments. USING RO'UTER TABLE AS JOINTER (FULL EDGE CUTTING) For maximum strength and accuracy, boards to be jointed together should be smooth and true. Check to see if face of jointing fence is flush with the face of unitized fence. If not, loosen small knob on jointing fence and push jointing fence inside the cavity in unitized fence. [. . . ] Mark lines' A' and '8' on the edge of the workpiece close to the end to be cut. Line 'A' for FULL DEPTH OF CUT (total amount of material you want to remove) and line '8' for FULL DESIRED HEIGHT OF TENON. #25. Wing Nut Line 'B' Retractable Guard not Shown for :::Iarity) Workpiece Side Against Face of 8~§fE~~~~~Unitized Fence I Piloted Bit Feed Workpiece in Direction of Arrow Fig. Width 4" Edge of Table Top Hole WARNING: DO NOT SET DEPTH OF CUT MORE THAN 3/8" (FIG. IF DEPTH OF CUT IS MORE THAN 3/8", THE EDGE 'E' OF WORKPIECE WHEN SLIDING ACROSS WILL INTERFERE WITH PORTION 'P' OF GUARD. THE GUARD THEN WILL NOT RETRACT INSIDE FENCE AND HENCE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SLIDE WORKPIECE ACROSS THE BIT TO MAKE 1 THE CUT. #27. NOTE/ Tighten wing nut just enough to clamp workpiece in position. OVERTIGHTENING wing nut could cause binding in the sliding motion of push block which in turn may result in variations and/or steps in the finished tenon surface when cut. Slide workpiece close to the bit and adjust unitized fence and the router as described before so that outer most cutting edge of bit is aligned with line 'A' and top cutting edge of bit is aligned with line 'B'. Tightly secure the fence and the router as described before in ADJUSTING DEPTH AND HEIGHT OF CUT. Slide push block and therefore workpiece back to let guard swing out to its normal position as shown in Fig. While holding push block and GUIDING WORKPIECE AGAINST FENCE with both hands (Fig . #27) and FINGERS AT SAFE DISTANCE ABOVE GUARD AND SPINNING BIT, feed workpiece across the bit to make FULL DEPTH OF CUT IN ONE PASS. (DO NOT STOP FEED UNTIL WORKPIECE IS FAR ENOUGH BEYOND SPINNING BIT TO ALLOW GUARD TO RETRACT OUT FULLY TO ITS NORMAL POSITION). NOTE: Clamp and test cut a piece of scrap wood to check your adjustments before making your finished cut. Position and clamp the opposite side of workpiece in the same manner as described in Step #5 (make sure the wing nut is tight just enough to clamp workpiece in position and end to be cut is resting on the edge of table top hole). To cut ends of the tenon, position and clamp workpiece in the same manner as in step #5 above except edge of workpiece should be held flush against face of fence and end to be cut should be resting on edge of table top hole. Position workpiece between clamp plate and push block such that its side is held flush against face of the unitized fence, the end to be cut is resting on the edge of the table top hole and edge marked with lines 'A' and '8' is facing the router bit. Clamp workpiece in this position by snugly tightening the wing nut on clamp rod while making sure that clamp plate stays oriented on workpiece as shown in Fig . (This will retract guard inside the fence and provide access to the bit for making adjustments. MAKE SURE ROUTER IS UNPLUGGED WHEN POSITIONING AND CLAMPING WORKPIECE AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS). 12 NOTE: When cutting tenons, always clamp workpiece with end to be cut resting on edge of table top hole.
