Installing and Adjusting Router Bit
Adjust height of router bit so that it falls flush to table.
Adjusting the Fence Facing:
• The fence facings control the width of the opening beside the router bit. They are mounted on the front face of
the router table fence. Loosen the hand knobs on the back of the fence to adjust the fence facings to fit your
project, then tighten them securely when the facings are positioned correctly.
• Securely tighten the fence with the hand knobs when positioned correctly. The fence can also be adjusted
forward or backward a distance equal to the amount of material to be removed by the router bit To adjust
loosen the two hand knobs on the back of the fence on either the left or right side and slide the fence forward
and backward to desired position.
WARNING:
Do not operate the router if any part of the router bit contacts the overhead or the right and left fence facing
Using the Router Table
Installing the Router Bit
1. Make sure the router bit is the right size for
your router.
2. Install the bit so that the router collet engages
3/4" (19,05mm) of the router bit shank.
3. If the shank of the router bit bottoms out in
the collet, back out the router bit
approximately 1/16" (1,59mm) to allow for
proper tightening.
WARNING:
Never install router bits with less than 3/4"
(19,05mm) of shank engagement in the collet.
Adjusting the Router Bit
1. Using a scrap piece of wood the same height as the work piece, raise and lower the router until the top of the
router bit cutting edge lines up with the top of the scrap wood. (Refer to your Router Owner’s Manual for
instructions on how to adjust your particular brand of router.)
2. Make sure the router is securely tightened in the router base.
3. Check that the router bit is securely tightened in the router chuck.
4. Remove the board from the fence and lower the overhead guard down to the operating position.
