Bench Mounting
The work bench should be very stable to
eliminate vibration when the router is
operating.
Each table leg has an opening at the bottom for
securing the assembled table to a suitable work
bench. The work bench should be level and strong
enough to support the weight of the table and the
router. Use appropriate fasteners and bolts to secu-
re the router table to the work bench.
Plug in the Router (Fig. A)
Ensure the router table power cord is not
connected into the power outlet.
For safety reasons, your electric router may
only be connected to the mains through the
router table's safety switch unit.
1. Press the red OFF button to ensure the router
table is switched OFF (0).
2. Ensure the router switch is in the OFF (0) position.
3. Plug the router power cord into the outlet on the
switch box. Secure the router power cord so that
it does not interfere with the operation of the
router.
4. Plug the router table power cord into a power
outlet.
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.
Turning On the Router
Once the router is properly mounted to the router
table, you will be able to operate the router using
the router table switch box.
1. Switch the router to the ON (I) position.
NOTE: The router table is primarily intended for
use with a router fitted with a 'lock-on' switch.
If your router does not have this feature it will
be necessary to fix its switch in place using
a clamping device. Ensure to remove this
clamping device as soon as you use the router
without the router table.
2. To start the router press the GREEN ON (I) but-
ton on the router table.

3. To stop router press RED OFF button on the
router table.
Using the router table
Check that the guard is in good working
condition every time you use the machine
and regularly clean the dust and chip guard.
NOTE: If you are using a large diameter routing bit
that removes a large amount of material from the
workpiece it may be necessary to make several
passes, increasing the amount of material removed
each time, in order to prevent overloading your
electric router. If this is the case, adjust the fence
assembly so that a reduced router bit radius is
exposed to the workpiece and make the required
amount of cuts before setting the cutting width as
described below for the final pass.
1. Fit a router bit to the electric router.
2. Adjust the cutting depth, cutting width, feather
boards and fence assembly as described on the
previous pages.
3. Switch the router on using the safety switch
unit and allow it to reach its full speed.
4. Use a push stick to feed the workpiece slowly
and evenly through the rotating router bit.
5. Switch the router table off and allow the bit to
come to a complete stop before you remove the
workpiece from the table top.
Feed direction (Fig. U)
Do not guide the router in the direction of
rotation of the router bit to avoid the danger
of losing control of the router.
Feed the workpiece from right to left. The material
must be fed against the cutting edge of the router
bit, ensure that the workpiece is tight against the
fence.
Fitting and removing router bits
The router can unintentionally start and
cause injury. Disconnect the router table
and your electric router from the mains
before proceeding.
1. Place the router table on its side.
2. From the underside of the worktable fit or
remove a router bit to your router as described
in the router's operating instructions.
