OPERATION
PERFORMING A ROUTING OPERATION
Observe the following rules when using the router.
Read the entire operator’s manual for the router and
router table.
Plug the router table power cord into a power source.
Always control the power to the router with the router
table switch whenever the router is mounted on the
table.
Always plug the router into either of the router table
switched outlets. Never plug a router table mounted
router into another power source.
Position the infeed and outfeed fence so they are close
to the maximum diameter of the cutter, but not touching
the cutter.
NOTE:
The workpiece must always be tight against
the fence, unless you are using a ball-bearing piloted
cutter.
Adjust the infeed fence to support the uncut workpiece
and adjust the outfeed fence to support the workpiece
after the cut. The “0” location on the fence scale denotes
the center of the throat opening of the table.
Reconfirm that all router adjustments are securely locked
before connecting the router table to a power source.
Feed the workpiece from right to left with the cutter in
line with the fence opening.
Make sure the router table switch is off when not in use.
Remove the switch key to ensure the router table is off.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with products to make you care-
less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WA
RNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The
use of attachments or accessories not recommended
can result in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
�Table mounted dado and mortise operations in wood and
wood composition materials
Fence guided edging operations for cabinetry and
picture framing on wood and wood composition
materials
Piloted cutter operations using the starting pin for

WARNING:
The direction of feed for the workpiece is always against
the sharp edges of the cutter and therefore into the rota-
tion of the cutter. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
When operating the router with the router table, the
router must only be plugged into and controlled by the
router table switched outlet. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never connect the table mounted router
into another power source.
WARNING:
The router or router table should never be connected to
a power supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, installing or removing cutters, cleaning, or
when not in use. Disconnecting the router and router table
will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury.
