OVERHEAD GUARD ASSEMBLY
(Fig. 19)
The overhead guard assembly (18) comes
preinstalled on the fence assembly. Some
routing applications will require you to remove
this guard.
1. Loosen and remove clamping knob (21) on
the top back of the fence assembly (C).
2. Remove the 1/4-20 x 2½" carriage bolt (48),
overhead guard (18), and spacer from
the fence assembly (C).
3. Reinstall the overhead guard assembly (18)
by following these steps in reverse.
Disconnect the router
from the power supply
before installing router into the table,
making adjustments, changing acces-
sories, removing the router from the table,
performing maintenance, or storing the
tool. Such precautionary safety measures
reduce the risk of unintentional tool operation.
INSERT RINGS (Fig. 20)
This router table includes three tabletop insert
rings with the following hole sizes:

in diameter. Bits larger than 2½" exceed
the clearance hole in the tabletop insert
rings. Bits larger than 2½" can contact insert
plate or insert ring, throwing fragments.
These three insert rings are supplied
individually and can be found in one of the
storage boxes. The insert ring should fit into
the tabletop hole completely. Use a fine file
or emery board to remove excess plastic or
rough edges that may cause the insert ring
to protrude above the table surface.
Do not alter insert ring or
insert plate bit hole.
Match the cutting diameter of the bit to the
inner diameter of the insert ring or insert
plate bit hole such that the difference is no

meant to reduce the gap between the cutting
diameter of the bit and table so that
workpieces maintain full support of the table
while routing.
