Using the Jointing Bars
THESE WARNINGS PERTAIN TO ALL REMAINING STEPS:
> To avoid serious injury, keep hands and fingers away from the spinning router bit.
Maintain awareness of the bit at all times.

> Turn off and unplug your router before installing or
adjusting the bit or adjusting the Router Table Fence.
> Do NOT attempt to use the Bench Dog ProFence to joint
board edges that are thicker than 1

". The maximum
material thickness might be further limited by the cutting
height of the router bit being used. For example, a bit
with a 3/4" cutting height will be able to joint only boards
that are 3/4" thick or less.
> Before beginning any routing operation, ALWAYS make
sure that ALL knobs on the Router Table Fence have
been tightened and the fence will not shift during use.
> Always feed the workpiece against the rotation of the bit.
A table-mounted router spins the bit counterclockwise,
so feed the workpiece from right to left as you face the
table. This provides better control because the rotation
of the bit is backward and toward the fence instead of
forward and away from it.
> Use only 1/2" shank router bits for jointing. The thicker
shank will provide less chatter and cleaner cuts. The
bit’s cutting height must not exceed 1

".
> When working with narrow boards, use a push block or
push stick to advance the workpiece to avoid fingers
from contacting the bit and causing serious injury.
> If using the Jointer Bars (12), always install them in
pairs in matched slots in the Aluminum Fence (1) –
either the first and the third slots from the top or the
second and fourth. Failure to install both Jointer Bars in
matched slots is likely to yield poor results.
> When adjusting the position of the Router Table Fence,
always ensure that no part of the Aluminum Fence (1)
will contact the router bit.
