Before Use
WARNING:
Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before
attaching or changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Assembling the router table
See the exploded diagram at the beginning of the manual for a general quick view
of how the table fits together then follow the instructions below.
Table
1. Place the Table (1) upside down on a flat surface that will not scratch or
damage the parts or allow the parts to move
2. Line up the Table Extensions (3) ready for attachment on both ends of the
Table
3. Fit one Leg (4) into the recess of the Table and insert a Phillips Head Bolt (9)
through the Table Extension, through the Table and finally through a mounting
hole of the Leg. Fit a Nut (10) onto the thread of the bolt and tighten loosely
Note:
The Legs fit inside the underneath of the Table whereas the Table Extensions
are mounted on the external sides of the Table.
4. Repeat until the Leg is secured for that corner and then repeat for all Legs
until the main Table, Table Extensions and Legs are all fitted. Tighten so the
Legs and Table Extensions can still be moved by hand but hold the position
they are left in. This allows for adjustment before final tightening
5. Check the flat surface you are using is level with a spirit level for both axes.
Turn the router table over and check all the bench-mounting feet are level and
flat on the surface. Use a spirit level to check the Table and Table Extensions
are level on both axes and adjust the position of the Legs and Table Extensions
if necessary
6. Once level carefully tighten the Nuts to lock that position. Do not over-tighten.
Make sure the router table remains level after tightening and does not rock
7. Attach the Switchbox (5) to the underside front of the Table using two Phillips
Head Bolts (9) and two Nuts (10)
8. Fit the Horizontal Featherboard using one of the Featherboards (30), both
Featherboard Pads (11), two Knobs (12) and both Fence Bolts (14). The pads
should be placed into the channel of the Table with the raised edges of the
pads placed to the left and right side of the Featherboard
IMPORTANT:
Note the direction of the Featherboard feathers in the main image of
the Router Table. It is important that both vertical and the horizontal Featherboards
are facing the correct way to work with the feed direction as shown.
Mounting the router
IMPORTANT:
If the router is earthed the Switchbox (5) and any mains
extensions used must be earthed and connected to an earthed power point.
1. Please refer to the specification and check the router you intend to use is
compatible
2. Have your original router manual to hand and read before mounting. Make
sure mounting won’t restrict changing bits. Check that you still have easy
access to the spindle lock button, adjusting router height and the collet
securing nut
3. Ensure the base of the router is completely clean so it will be level with the
mounting plate when fitted
4. If the Router doesn’t feature a trigger lock-on feature, use the Router Trigger
Clamp (28) and Router Trigger Clamp Knob (29) to lock the trigger in the on
mode (Image B) or lock the trigger on
5. Insert the four Router Securing Bolts (20) through the Table (1) surface and on
the underside fit a Router Securing Bar (18), Small Washer (8) and Nut (10) to
each bolt. Only loosely fit together at this stage
6. Turn the Table (1) upside down making sure each Router Securing Bolt is
still locked in the recess of the Table to prevent turning and move the Router
Securing Bars so they face away from the centre to allow fitting of the router
7. Carefully lower the router into the central recess of the Table ensuring the
router is centred so the bit is dead centre in the Table opening. This is critical
so take time to get this right
8. Use the Router Securing Bars to secure the base of the router to the underside
of the Table (Image C) then tighten all Nuts. Router bases vary in design and
you will need to adapt to the shape of the base. Check the base is securely
gripped and the Router Securing Bar are not blocking any feature of the base,
for example the router’s own dust extraction fittings
Note:
Once you start using the router table, remember to recheck these fittings
after a short amount of use to make sure they have not loosened. Then make
it a regular check in the future. If the router drops from its mountings it may be
damaged or destroyed.
