MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE USING THE  

CORRECT  TEMPLATE FOR THE HARDWARE BEING  

INSTALLED AND YOUR ROUTER HAS A 3/8”  

OUTSIDE TEMPLATE GUIDE INSTALLED  

IN THE BASE. 

GENERAL SAFETY RULES 

 

ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND EAR PROTECTION!! 

 
Before attempting any installation know how to safely use 
the power tools involved and how they work. Be sure all 
bits and cutters are sharp and in good condition and all 
power cords and extension cords are in good working  
order and properly grounded. 
 
Always make sure the router comes to a 

COMPLETE 

STOP 

before pulling it away from the template. Failure to 

do so may cause damage to your router template, your 
work or personal injury. 

 

Always route in a 

CLOCKWISE 

direction. A  

counterclockwise direction will cause the router bit to 
climb in the cut and cause an unstable situation.  
 
If you feel you have missed part of the cut, 

DO NOT 

BACK UP!!  

You will be making a clean up pass that will 

take care of the problem.
