x) Whenever routing a profile in which material is not being removed below a
protruding portion of the bit, or a part of the profile is trapped between
cutters above and below, take extra precautions to prevent the workpiece
from lifting off the table surface during routing. A workpiece lifting off the table
can kick back and cause serious personal injury. When routing these profiles, it is
especially important to use straight, flat stock and avoid warped, bowed, or twisted
stock.

y) Periodically check the tightness of fasteners and adjustment and locking
knobs and the alignment of the fence. Loose fasteners and knobs and a
misaligned fence can cause personal injury.
z) This router table is designed for a specific application. Do not modify and
or use it for any other application. If you have questions relative to the
application of the router table, DO NOT use it until you have contacted Kreg Tool
Company and have been advised accordingly.
General Routing
(A) Use the insert-plate reducing ring with the smallest opening that
allows the bit to pass through it. (B) Position the fence faces as close as
possible to the bit. Turn the bit by hand to check for interference. Firmly
tighten the fence-face T-knobs before routing. (C) Position the bit guard
over the router bit and as close to the workpiece surface as possible. (D)
Feed the workpiece against (not with) the (E) the bit rotation.
Starting Pin
To use the starting pin, begin with your workpiece touching the pin, but
not in contact with the router bit. Slowly pivot the workpiece into the bit
until the workpiece makes contact with the bit guide bearing. Always
feed the workpiece so the router bit rotates against (not with) the feed
direction. With the workpiece in solid contact with the guide bearing,
ease the workpiece off of the starting pin and feed the workpice along
the guide bearing.
WARNING Use the starting pin when routing along curved edges
and only with router bits that have a guide bearing. When routing along
straight edges, always use the fence.
Reducing Rings
The reducing rings (15, 16, 17) provide flexibility in matching the size of
the insert-plate opening to the diameter of the router bit in use. The ring
with the rabbeted opening accepts universal-style guide bushings for use
in pattern routing. To install a reducing ring, place it in the insert-plate
opening and turn it by hand until it drops flush with the plate surface.
Rotate the ring counterclockwise with the ring wrench (18) to lock the
ring in place.
WARNING Always use the reducing ring with the smallest possible
opening.
