Basic Routing 
Feed Direction Rules 
 
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury and loss of 
control, always be aware of the proper router feed 
direction. The proper router feed direction is a 
Push-cut, and is described below. 
12 
OF 2200 EB Router 
Operating the router in the correct direction is important for 
maintaining control over the router. The standard feed 
direction for routing is that which opposes the cutter’s 
rotation. This direction affords the operator the most control 
over the router feed speed. If the router is operated in the 
reverse direction, the router bit will tend to self-feed and 
propel the router down the workpiece at a high feed rate. 
To make it easier to remember the standard and reverse 
feed directions, they are given descriptive names that 
describe the behavior of the router bit during the cut. These 
names are “Push-cut” for the standard direction, and 
Climb-cut” for the reverse direction.  
When making a push-cut, you are pushing 
the router against the router bit’s rotation, 
and therefore, the router pushes back 
against your forward force. This is what 
gives you more control. 
When making a climb-cut, the router bit 
wants to move in the same direction you 
are pushing, and if the bit suddenly grabs 
the wood, it can take off before you have 
a chance to pull it back. This can lead to 
a rapid loss of control. The term “Climb-
cut” comes from the action where the 
router bit wants to “walk” or “climb” its 
way down the edge of the workpiece. 
The general rule for basic routing 
is to always feed the router in the 
push-cut direction. 
Climb-cutting is an advanced 
routing technique and should be avoided by 
inexperienced operators. This topic is briefly discussed 
in the 
Push-Cut Routing 
Always feed the router against the rotation of the bit. This 
helps prevent the router from grabbing the wood and self-
feeding, resulting in a loss of control. 
► 
When routing around the exterior of a shape, feed the 
router counterclockwise (blue arrows shown below). 
► 
When routing around the interior of a shape (such as 
the yellow arrows shown below), feed the router 
clockwise. 
► 
To reduce tearout at the corners, begin routing across 
the end grain first (as indicated with "Start Here" in 
the figure below).
Fixed Depth Routing 
Fixed depth routing is typically performed using router bits 
with a guide bearing that rides along the edge of a workpiece. 
The depth of cut is fixed before the router is engaged. 
1. 
Verify that the router bit is properly secured, and the router 
is ready for operation. 
2. 
Secure the workpiece to a stable surface. 
3. 
Lower the router to the desired depth and tighten the 
plunge lock knob. 
4. 
Set the router speed according to the speed settings table 
on page 7.  
5. 
Place the router on the workpiece, and make sure the bit is 
not touching the wood. 
 
CAUTION! Starting the router with the bit in contact 
with the workpiece may cause a loss of control and 
injury. 
6. 
Firmly grasp both handles of the router and pull in 
on the power trigger switch. 
7. 
Advance the router through the cut according to the 
feed direction rules above.
