Additional Safety Warnings for Router Tables
If an extension cord is necessary, a
cord with adequate size conductors that is capable of
carrying the current necessary for your tool must be
used.
This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of
power or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.
NOTE:
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Important Information About Extension Cords
Improper Fence Location and Workpiece Feed
The fence and/or workpiece are
improperly located anytime it would result in:
• The front of the bit being exposed during the actual
cutting (Fig. A).
• “Climb-cutting” – The bit must not enter the workpiece in
the same direction as the feed direction, which is likely
to cause the workpiece to “climb” and may lead to loss
of control during operation (Fig. B).
“Fence Traps”: One type of improper fence location
warrants special attention. “Fence traps” happen when
the fence is positioned so far back that the front side
(power switch side) of the workpiece would be behind
the router bit.
Fence traps are dangerous for two
reasons:
• Exposure of the bit on the front side (power switch side)
of the workpiece.
• Likelihood of climb cut, which can cause loss of control.
Fig. A shows a fence trap.
Do not feed the workpiece from left to right: (Fig. B)
• It would cause climb-cutting.
• It would be difficult to keep the workpiece against the
fence faces because the bit rotation would push the
workpiece away from the fence.

Piloted bits along with the starter pin are used when
routing internal and external contours on the workpiece.
Use the auxiliary bit guard when shaping material with
the starter pin and piloted bits.
The starter pin and
bearing of the piloted bit assist in maintaining control
of the workpiece.
Do not use the table as a workbench or work surface.
Using it for purposes other than routing may cause damage
and make it unsafe to use in routing.
Never stand on the table or use as a ladder or
scaffolding.
Table could tip or the cutting tool could
be accidentally contacted.
Use only Bosch replacement parts.
Any others may
create a hazard.
