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 Position1. Attention should be made to the

HSE’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 back fence.

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.
