I have a tendency of using both methods.
I tend to stand in the middle of the workpiece and start pulling the router towards me then push it away as it passes the midway part.
I use whichever way feels right at that time.

That's got me guessing
Is it start or stand in the middle????
are you working on the external edge?

External Tom.
Anticlockwise around the outside of a piece and clockwise when working inside.

Sorry, missed the amin part of your question Tom.
I stand in the middle and start at the end with endgrain so that any breakout will be covered up when the complete piec ehas been trimmed.

I must apologise to everyone as I have lost my web page (not very good at computing) but should anyone like a copy of my 'Introduction to the use of Template Guides' I will forward a Copy (Adobe) if you email me

It is safer to push the router rather than pull it. The cutter should always feed into the material. Routing outside of the material with such accessories such as the side fence attachment rout in a an anti-clockwise direction also with the use of cutters with bearings routing say the external edge of a table top for instance again rout in an anti-clockwise direction.
When using template guides with a 'Male' template rout in an anti-clocwise direction pushing the router away from you. When routing with a template guide and using a 'Female' template rout in a clockwise direction again routing away from you. When routing small objects when using the female template it is possible that you will be pushing and pulling to complete say a small elliptical shape. This could also be the same when using a male template to rout say the external edge of the same trinket box. Greater care should be taken to control the router when pulling it towards you.
