Operation

Once the router is properly

installed and connected to the

router table you can use the

safety switch on the router table

to turn the router on.
1. Insert the switch disabling

insert (6) and ensure the

switch is in the OFF position

(fig. R).

2 Make sure the switch on the

router is in the OFF position.

3. Make sure the router is

plugged into the outlet on the

router table switch box.

4. Plug the router table cord into

a power socket.

5. Turn the router switch to the

ON position and lock the

switch on.

6. Flip the router table switch to the ON position to turn on

and operate the router (fig. S).

7. Push the switch to the OFF position to turn off the router.

Adjusting the depth of cut

The depth of cut affects the rate and quality of cut. The

plunge lock lever on the router holds the router at the

desired height and depth of cut.
Refer to instruction manual that came supplied with your

router for details on how to adjust the depth of cut.

Using the starting pin

The starting pin (17) is used to pivot a small workpiece.

The starting pin fits into the threaded opening on the top

of the table near the table insert. Turn the pin clockwise

to insert it into the table. Turn the pin anti-clockwise to

remove it from the table.

Adjusting the fence

The fence can be adjusted in various ways to accommodate

the size and shape of a particular workpiece.

1. To slide the fence backwards and forwards loosen the

two fence locking knobs (fig. T). This will set the infeed

fence (9) to support the workpiece (fig. U).

2. Loosen the outfeed fence locking knob (12) to move the

outfeed fence forward or backward (fig. V). This will help

support the workpiece after it has been cut.

3. Loosen the 4 lock knobs on the infeed and outfeed fence

panels to slide the panels left and right (fig. W).

Direction of feed

1. Feed the workpiece from right to left.
2. The material must be fed against the cutting edge of the

router bit.

3. Ensure that the workpiece is tight against the fence.
4. Adjust the infeed fence so that it supports the uncut

material and adjust the outfeed fence so that it supports

the cut material, compensating for the removed stock.
