CDJ300 & CDJ600
6. Respiratory protection. Wear a face ordust mask, or powered respirator.Dust masks/filters should be changedregularly.
7. Do not switch router on with the cuttertouching the workpiece. At the end ofthe cut, release the router plunge andallow spindle to stop rotating. Neveruse the spindle lock as a brake
8. The direction of routing must alwaysbe opposite to the cutter's direction ofrotation. Do not back-cut or climb-cut.
9. Check before cutting that there are noobstructions in the path of the router.Ensure there are no obstaclesbeneath workpiece when cutting fullthickness, and that a sacrificial worksurface is used.
Router Cutter Safety1. Cutting tools are sharp. Care should
be taken when handling them. Do notdrop cutters or knock them againsthard objects. Handle very smalldiameter cutters with extra care.Always return cutter to its packagingafter use.
2. Always use cutters with a shankdiameter corresponding to the size ofthe collet installed in your tool.
3. The maximum speed (n.max) markedon the tool, or in instructions or onpackaging shall not be exceeded.Where stated the speed range shallbe adhered to. Recommended speedsare shown in the Trend RoutingCatalogue and/or website.
4. Always use router cutters in a router.Drill and boring bits must not be usedin a router. Router cutters must onlybe used for the material cuttingapplication for which they aredesigned. Do not use on metal ormasonry.
5. Never use cutters with a diameterexceeding the maximum diameterindicated in the technical data of thepowertool or attachment used.
6. Before each use check that the cuttingtool is sharp and free from damage.Do not use the cutting tool if it is dull,broken or cracked or if in any otherdamage is noticeable or suspected.
7. Cutters should be kept clean. Resinbuild up should be removed at regularintervals with Resin Cleaner®. Theuse of a PTFE dry lubricant willreduce resin build up. Do not usePTFE spray on plastic parts.
8. When using stacked tooling (multi-blade, block and groover etc.) on aspindle arbor, ensure that the cuttingedges are staggered to each other toreduce the cutting impact.
9. Cutter shanks should be inserted intothe collet all the way to the line
indicated on the shank. This ensuresthat at least 3⁄4 of the shank length isheld in the collet. Ensure clampingsurfaces are cleaned to remove dirt,grease, oil and water.
10.Observe the correct assembly andfitting instructions in the routerinstruction manual for fitting the collet,nut and cutter.
11.Tool and tool bodies shall be clampedin such a way that they will notbecome loose during operation. Careshall be taken when mounting cuttingtools to ensure that the clamping is bythe shank of the cutting tool and thatthe cutting edges are not in contactwith each other or with the clampingelements.
12. It is advisable to periodically checkthe collet and collet nut. A damaged,worn or distorted collet and nut cancause 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 toreduce the side load applied to thecutter and router. Too deep a cut inone pass can stall the router.
15. In case of excessive vibrations whilstusing the router stop immediately andhave the eccentricity of the router,router cutter and clamping systemchecked by competent personnel
15.All fastening screws and nuts shouldbe tightened using the appropriatespanner or key and to the torquevalue provided by the manufacturer.
16. Extension of the spanner ortightening using hammer blows shallnot be permitted.
17.Clamping screws shall be tightenedaccording to instructions provided bythe manufacture. Where instructionsare not provided, clamping screwsshall be tightened in sequence fromthe centre outwards.
Using Routers In A Fixed Position
1. Attention should be made to theHSE’s Safe Use of Vertical SpindleMoulding Machines Information SheetNo.18 and any revisions.
2. After work, release the router plungeto protect the cutter.
3. Always use a push-stick or push-blockwhen making any cut less than300mm in length or when feeding thelast 300mm of the cut.
4. The opening around the cutter shouldbe reduced to a minimum usingsuitably sized insert rings in the tableand closing the back fence cheeks orfitting a false fence on the back fence.
5. Whenever possible use a workholding device or jig to secure
component being machined. Ensureany attachment is securely fitted to theworkbench, with table surface atapproximately hip height.
6. Use a No-Volt Release Switch. Ensureit is fixed securely, easily accessibleand used correctly.
7. In router table (inverted) mode, standto the front right of the table. Thecutter will rotate anti-clockwise whenviewed from top so the feed directionis from the right (against the rotation ofthe cutter). In overhead mode, standto the front left of the machine tableand the feed direction is from the left.
8. Do not reach underneath table or putyour hands or fingers at any time inthe cutting path while tool is connectedto a power supply.
9. Never thickness timber between theback of the cutter and the backfence.
Useful Advice When Routing1. Judge your feed rate by the sound of
the motor. Feed the router at aconstant feed rate. Too slow a feedrate will result in burning.
2. Trial cuts should be made on wastematerial before starting any project.
3. When using some attachments e.g. arouter table or dovetail jig, a fineheight adjuster is recommended.
4. When using a template guide bush,ensure there is sufficient clearancebetween cutter tip and inside edge ofbush and that it cannot come intocontact with collet and nut. Ensurecutter and guide bush are concentric.
Router Cutter Repair/Maintenance1. Repair of tools is only allowed in
accordance with the manufacturersinstructions.
3. The design of composite (tipped) toolsshall not be changed in process ofrepair. Composite tools shall berepaired by a competent person i.e. aperson of training and experience, whohas knowledge of the designrequirements and understands thelevels of safety to be achieved.
4. Repair shall therefore include, e.g. theuse of spare parts which are inaccordance with the specification ofthe original parts provided by themanufacturer.
5. Tolerances which ensure correctclamping shall be maintained.
6. Care shall be taken that regrinding ofthe cutting edge will not causeweakening of the body and theconnection of the cutting edge to thebody.

TIMBER
PREPARATION
It is important to plan yourwork before starting tosave set-up time andavoid costly mistakes.Both sides of the jig canbe used to make joints. Itis advisable however toclamp the workpiece toone side of the jig. Thisensures it is clampedsecurely.
Lapped Dovetails
When lapped dovetailinglabel the pieces as front,back, and sides. Markfaces as inside and out.
Label the dovetail piecesas shown, A parts will beclamped under frontclamp bar, B pieces undertop clamping bar. Evennumbers against left-handedge guide odd numbersunder right hand edgeguides.
Face sides must betowards jig body.
For drawers the front isthicker than the sides.
Before jointing the actualworkpiece make trial cutsin pieces of waste timber,the same thickness as theworkpieces in order totest depth of pin sockets.
Ensure all pieces are cutto size and checked forsquareness.

OPERATION
Routing the
Workpiece
For Lapped Dovetail
Joints
Make one very light cut fromright to left, cutting only thefront edge. This will preventbreakout.
Carefully rout from left to rightfollowing the guide bush ineach of the template combslots (see illustrations onright).
For Box Joints
Carefully rout from left to rightfollowing the guide bush inthe each of the slots. Ensurethe guide bush is kept againstthe left hand side of thetemplate comb fingers on allcuts.
Cut full depth in one passwhere possible. If timber ishard, achieve depth in anumber of passes.
For Dowel Joints
For dowel hole in face ofworkpiece, the depth of cutwill be half thickness ofworkpiece.
For dowel hole in end ofworkpiece, depth will need toallow for remainder of dowellength.
For Through
Dovetails
Carefully rout from left to rightfollowing the guide bush inthe each of the template slots.
Cut full depth when using thedovetail cutter. If timber ishard take fine cuts.
Preventing Tear Out
This occurs when cuttingacross the grain and can beovercome by scribing theends of the timber with amarking knife or gauge at theheight of the cutter.
Setting the Depth
of Cut in the Future
To ease setting up of thecutter height in the future,rout another joint and keepthis piece to set the cutterdepth in future.
Do not lift the router
from the template
with the guide bush
engaged in the slots
as damage to the
template will occur.
