See Figures 3 - 4.

n Lay the workpiece on a workbench and place mount-

ing bracket on the workpiece with the U-bolt over the

workpiece and the clamp screw under the workbench.

NOTE: Clamp screw will hold workpiece to workbench

while routing if total thickness of both is 1-3/4 in. or less.

When thickness of workpiece and workbench exceeds

1-3/4 in., use a clamp to hold workpiece to workbench

and the clamp screw to hold mounting bracket to

workpiece.

OPERATION

ROUTING WITH GUIDE BUSHING

You can accurately duplicate curves and complex shapes by

fitting your router with a template guide bushing that extends

below the subbase. The router bit passes through the guide

bushing. The guide bushing then rides against a template.

INSTALLING TEMPLATE GUIDE BUSHING

See Figures 5 - 7.

n �Unplug your router.

n �Place router upside down on workbench.

n �Place template guide bushing in recessed portion of

router base.

n �Align the cutouts in guide bushing with threaded holes in

base.

n �Secure guide bushing to router base with screws pro-

vided.

n �Tighten screws securely.

WARNING:

Failure to tighten screws could cause bit to come in con-

tact with bushing, resulting in serious injury.

When routing with template guide bushings it is necessary

to allow for size differences between the cutting edge of the

bit and the face of the guide bushing collar. When making

templates, always allow for this size difference.

NOTE: Special Instructions for use with routers R181D,

R181FB, R181PF, R1801M, and RE1802M.

n Unplug your router.

n Follow the previous steps to secure the guide bushing to

subbase.

n Tighten screws securely.

n Loosen the 4 subbase screws that secure the subbase

to the router base.

n Set bit to desired depth and lock depth lock.

n Adjust subbase so that the end of the bit is centered in

collar of the bushing.

n Tighten the 4 subbase screws securely.

OPERATION

ROUTING WITH THE TEMPLATE

See figures 8 - 10.

NOTE: Refer to the Operator’s Manual that accompanied

your router for instructions on how to correctly install and

remove router bits.

Before making a cut in the workpiece, rout the first letter

in scrap material to get a feel for guiding the router around

the template.

n With bit installed in router, set bit to desired depth of

cut.

n Place router guide bushing into letter opening.

NOTE: Template guide bushing must be in contact with

letter template with bit slightly above workpiece when

router is started.

n Turn router on and lower into wood until router base rests

on letter frame.

n Follow opening with slight pressure to outside of letter

until you have routed completely around the letter and

returned to where you started.

n Turn router off and wait until bit comes to a complete

stop before lifting router off letter frame.

n Loosen clamp screw.

n Slide mounting bracket to the right until left side of letter

frame lines up with edge of routed letter just completed.

(This gives you uniform spacing between each letter.)

n Remove template of letter just routed and replace with

next template to be used.

n Continue process until project is complete.

HELPFUL HINTS

n When using the small set of letter templates, always posi-

tion the letter to be routed in the lower left hand corner

of the letter frame.

n Redwood is a good sign material. It is easy to rout and

has a long outdoor life.

n Finish your sign quickly and easily by painting the entire

top surface of the finished sign with fast drying paint. (Us-

ing paint in aerosol cans is helpful.) Sand the top surface

of the sign leaving the paint in routed letters. The non-skid

mat is useful for holding the sign in place.

n Vertical signs can be routed by turning the letter template

90˚ in the letter frame.

n Letters can be routed close to the edge of a sign by turn-

ing workpiece around. Turn letter templates around and

locate letters close to the far edge of the workpiece.

WARNING:

Some workpieces may not be securely held with the

non-skid mat. Always assure your workpiece is securely

held in place by the mat or clamps before beginning any

cutting operation.
