Attaching the legs

1. Place the table (1) upside down on a flat surface.  

The hole and slots in the table should be furthest  

away from you (fig. A).

2. Position the left table leg (2) on the right hand side  

and secure to the table using 4 Phillips head screws, 

spring washers, flat washers and nuts (fig. B). 

3. Position the right table leg (3) on the left hand side  

and secure to the table using 4 screws, spring washers, 

flat washers and nuts.

4. Turn the table over and set it on its legs.

Attaching the switch box

1. The switch box assembly fits 

behind the left leg near the top 

of the table.

2. Once the switch box is 

installed the on/off switch will 

be positioned on the right hand 

side of the left leg.

3. An electric cord and an electric 

outlet for the router are located 

at the rear of the switch box 

(fig. C).

4   Place the switch box behind 

the left leg.

5. Align the screw holes on the 

top of the switch box with the 2 

holes at the top of the left leg.

6. Secure the switch box to the leg with the 2 Philips  

head screws (fig. D).

7. Move the switch up and down to make sure it  

moves freely (fig. E).

Note. 

The on/off switch features a switch disabling insert for 

greater safety when the tool is left unattended. The switch 

disabling insert must be in place before using the tool (fig. F).

Securing the table to a work bench

1. Both table legs feature openings at the base of the legs 

for securing the router table to a suitable work bench.

2. The work bench should be level and strong enough to 

support the weight of the table and the router. 

3. The work bench should be very stable to eliminate 

vibration when the router is operating.

4. Use appropriate fasteners and bolts to secure the router 

table to the work bench.

Attaching the fence to the table

The rear fence (7) is slideable and attaches to the table 

through the two channel openings on the table. The infeed 

(9) and outfeed (10) fence attach to the rear fence.
1. Position the router table so you are facing the rear of  

the table.

2. Align the rear fence (7) over the channel openings in the 

table. The large dust extraction port in the fence should 

face the rear of the table.

3. Feed the long carriage bolt from the bottom of the table 

and insert it through the channel opening in the table and 

through the hole on the right side of the fence and through
