MAINTAINING YOUR
MODEL 505/510 ROUTER
TABLE
WARNING
Before doing any Maintenance procedures to
your Router Table, be sure to turn off and
unplug the Router.
ALSO remove the Router Bit and any other
Accessories, Fences, or Fixtures that are
mounted on the Router Table.
The maintenance intervals listed here are
based on normal operation and assume that
you will be careful not to abuse your Router
Table. If you work the unit unusually hard,
you'll need to maintain it more often.
If an unusual noise or vibration develops,
turn off the Motor IMMEDIATELY and check
to see what could be causing the problem.
DO NOT operate the Router Table again
until you have corrected the cause of the
unusual noise or vibration.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
As needed...
•
Have Router Bits sharpened.
Every 5 hours of running time...
•
Clean the Router Table thoroughly.
•
Check alignments and adjustments.
•
Check tightness of all critical hardware.
Every 6 months or as needed...
•
Clean and wax the Router Table.
To estimate running time, use this rule: The
average woodworker will use power tools only
10% of the total time spent in the shop - at the
most. You may not use your Router Table as
much as other power tools. If you work in your
shop for 25 hours, you have probably logged
less than an hour of running time on your
Router Table.
CLEANING
As you work, sawdust will accumulate on the
Router Table and this residue can affect perfor-
mance. Clean the Router Table and Motor with
your Dust Collector or Shop Vacuum. Use the
Brush and Crevice Tool Attachments. After
vacuuming, clean all major metal parts of the
Router Table (except the Router Motor) with
mineral spirits to remove all dirt, grease and
any built-up wood pitch. Use a clean slightly
damp cloth to wipe all residue from the Guard
and Worktable. Clean the Router Motor as
instructed in the manual that came with your
Router Motor.
WAXING
After a thorough cleaning, wax and buff the
Table Surface. Apply the wax sparingly, then
buff it thoroughly. If you apply too much wax
or don't buff it, the wax will mix with the
sawdust, impede the movement of parts, and
leave residue on the stock.
