Grounding Instructions
1.All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor
to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3 pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A. The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. (This adapter is not permitted in Canada) The green-colored rigid ear, lug,
and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box.

Workcentre Safety
WARNING
: If the workcentre is fitted with a router module, the following safety instructions should be
considered.
WARNING
: This is a complex device that combines multiple tools into one workshop machine system. It may
only be used for the applications described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to mount accessories or power tools other
than those specified. DO NOT use this device for purposes for which it was not designed. This could be highly
dangerous and could lead to severe injury, even death, or substantial property damage.
WARNING
: ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment, including eye protection and cut-proof gloves when
fitting power tools to Workcentre modules.
WARNING
: DO NOT use this device with inserts for unfamiliar power tools. Seek professional training and advise
prior to working with unfamiliar tools.
WARNING
: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc) be sure
the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in
the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
1. ALWAYS avoid positioning hands or fingers where they could be ‘pinched’,
during assembly/folding or when
changing module inserts.
2. NEVER load the Workcentre chassis with weights beyond the safe max load capacity listed in
‘Specification’.
3. DO NOT sit, stand on, or climb onto the clamping table.
DO NOT use this tool as a work platform or scaffolding.
4. DO NOT use in wet or damp environments.
The Workcentre, its modules and components are designed for
indoor use only, and must remain dry at all times.
5. ALWAYS ensure power tools are correctly and securely mounted
when using modules powered by hand-held
power tools.
6. ALWAYS fully read and understand the instruction manual supplied by the power tool manufacturer.
Follow
all safety advice and usage procedures.
7. ALL hand-held power tools used with Workcentre modules MUST be connected over the switchbox of the
Workcentre.
DO NOT connect power tools directly to the power supply, as this would disable important safety
features of the Workcentre system.
8. ALWAYS disconnect the Workcentre from the power supply before changing power tools, accessories or
making adjustments.
ALWAYS switch the Workcentre off before disconnecting from the power supply, to prevent
accidental activation when the tool is reconnected to power.
9. ALWAYS disconnect the Workcentre from the power supply
when work is completed for the day, or when
leaving the unit unattended.
10. ALWAYS use the push stick when adequate, as outlined in the instructions of applicable Workcentre
modules.
Store the push stick with the Workcentre when not in use.
11. ALWAYS support large workpieces on the in-feed and out-feed sides of the router table, and where
necessary, also to the sides.
Use roller supports or saw horses wherever possible.
12. LIMIT the workpiece weight and dimension to a size that can safely be cut without jeopardising the
stability of the Workcentre.
NEVER attempt to cut a workpiece that cannot be safely handled by the operator, or
that cannot be supported, in-feed and/or out-feed.
Clamping Table Safety
WARNING:
NEVER load your clamping table with weights beyond the safe max load capacity listed in ‘Specification’.
1. ALWAYS ensure even clamping of your workpiece.
NEVER apply an unbalanced load, which could result in the
table tipping over.
2. ENSURE the workpiece is securely clamped or secured before using a hand-held power tool (e.g. drill,
sander, planer etc.).
3. ALWAYS support long or wide workpieces by using suitable side supports.
4. ONLY use compatible bench dog clamps with the correct diameter
to achieve reliable clamping results.
5. DO NOT mount stationary power tools (e.g. mitre saws, planer thicknessers etc) on top of the clamping
table, which exceed the maximum 150kg / 330lbs load capacity of the workcentre.
This could cause severe
injury.
6. DO NOT cut or drill into the clamping table surface.
Place a piece of sacrificial timber under the workpiece to
avoid damage to the module and Workcentre chassis.
7. Remove wood glue, stain or other residues immediately, using a slightly damp cloth.
DO NOT wait until the
compounds have dried, and DO NOT use solvents.
