19. ROUTER, PLUNGE (Porter-Cable 6931, Porter-Cable 1001)

(NOTE: Portions of the information presented in this section were taken from the Porter-Cable

Operating Manual.)

Routers are typically used to cut grooves, hollow out larger areas and create decorative trims along the

edge of a piece of wood.

We have several routers in the Woodshop, but the principles of operation are generally the same for

each model.

19.1. Safety Precautions

a. LARGE DIAMETER BITS are for use only in a router table. Using bits over 1" diameter in a

handheld router can easily cause you to lose control of the tool.

b. INSPECT router bits for damage prior to use.

c. NEVER touch router bits after use, as they may be extremely hot.

d. MAKE all adjustments with the router power switch in the OFF position, bit stopped and router

unplugged.

e. NEVER start the router with the bit in contact with the stock.

f. MAKE SURE that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging the unit in.

g. HOLD the router securely when turning the motor on. The high starting torque will cause the

router to twist when it is turned on.

h. WAIT until the router spindle stops rotating before putting it down on the work surface.

i. ALL BITS in the Woodshop will require three to five passes dependent upon the type and size of

the bit. Lower the bit on the router in 1/8” increments prior to each pass.

j. KEEP electrical cord away from the bit.

k. KEEP your hands on both handles and feed the cutter at an even rate of speed.

l. AT COMPLETION OF AN OPERATION: turn the machine away from you, turn it OFF, let it come

to a complete stop, and place it on its side.
