that  the  depth  of  cut  is  properly  set  to  the  appropriate 

hash  mark  on  your  Easy-Jig®  Gen  2  or  3  jig.  Never 

start  the  router  while  the  end  mill  flutes  are  in  contact 

with the workpiece.

After completing a full pass, turn the router off and wait 

until the rotating cutter comes to a complete stop before 

lifting the base from the work surface. When milling, hold 

the router over the jig or work surface firmly using both 

hands.  Make  sure  the  router  is  running  at  full  speed 

before contacting the workpiece.
