Slip,
I usually tuck my elbows tight to my sides keeping it close to by body and hold the arse end of the plug including the tag-end for xtra material to grasp on to. I eats it up rather quickly slow all you have to do is apply littler pressure and let the router do its job.
Routers are indeed scary with an exposed bit cranking away but its fairly easy and safe to use if you take caution and that goes with any machine in the shop. You can also do this in a press for starters just to get the idea of what it does.
Let me know if you need better pic's to see it from another angle.
