Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
Modifications Required for Mounting the Model T33850 Router Table Wing
If you intend to mount the router table wing to the table saw extension wing, you will have to drill two holes
in the rear rail of the table saw to secure the rail to the router table wing mounting brackets.
The universal mounting plate that is included with the Model T33850 does not have pre-drilled mounting
holes to hold your router. This is because different brands of routers have different base mounting hole
configurations. To properly use this router table, you will have to drill holes in the mounting plate that
match the base mounting hole configuration of your router.
The procedures above will require a drill, the correct size drill bits, and possibly additional fasteners for
mounting the router.
Before performing any modifications on the mounting plate or the table saw rear rail, read the entire
SETUP section in this manual to make sure the person making the modifications is capable of performing the required tasks. It is imperative that your router is firmly secured to the router mounting plate, and
that the table saw wing is securely mounted to the table saw before performing any operations.

upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

Additional Safety for Router Tables
Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with spinning bit.
Improperly secured bits or spindle parts/fasteners can fly off and strike nearby operators
or bystanders with great force. Flying dust or debris from cutting operation can cause eye
injuries or blindness. To minimize risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone operating router MUST
completely heed hazards and warnings below.
AVOIDING AMPUTATION. To avoid making con-
tact with spinning router bit, never place hands
directly over or in front of bit. As one hand
approaches bit, move it away and over to other
side. Always keep hands at least 6" away from
spinning bit.
SECURING LEVERS AND KNOBS. Never operate router table without first making sure all lock
levers and knobs are tight, and all fence hardware
and guide rails are secure. Otherwise, workpiece
can slip out of alignment while cutting and cause
injury from kickback.
DO NOT FORCE WORKPIECE. Never force
materials past router. Let router bit do the work.
Excessive force is likely to result in poor cutting
results and will cause kickback conditions that
could cause serious personal injury.
BLIND CUTTING. Keep router bit on underside
of workpiece when making blind cuts. This will
decrease risk of accidental contact with spinning
bit.
ROUTER BIT ROTATION. Always feed workpiece against rotation direction of bit. Otherwise,
workpiece could be aggressively pulled from your
hands, drawing them into spinning bit.
ROUTER BIT HEIGHT. Keep any unused portion
of bit below the table surface to minimize risk of
your hand contacting spinning bit.
ROUTER BIT SPEED. Do not exceed recommended speed of any router bit. Doing so can
cause bit to fracture or explode and cause injury.
CUTTING SUPPORT. NEVER cut workpiece
without using a fence, jig, or miter gauge as a
support guide. Otherwise, workpiece could be
aggressively pulled from your hands, drawing
them into spinning bit.
WORKPIECE SIZING. NEVER use workpiece
shorter than 6" without special fixtures or jigs.
Otherwise, workpiece can become trapped
between fence and router bit, which could draw
your hands into spinning bit.
USING SAFETY GUARDS. To prevent amputation or other injuries, always use a guard.
Fabricate additional guards or jigs for special
circumstances. Use an overhead guard if fence
is removed.
TRIPPING HAZARD. To prevent tripping over
power cord of router when not in use, always disconnect it and safely store it out of way.
APPROPRIATE WORKPIECES. Danger of kickback and injury is increased when workpiece
has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it. Warped
stock should be flattened with a jointer before you
shape it with router.
TESTING ROTATION. With router disconnected
from power, rotate router spindle to test any new
setup to ensure proper bit clearance before starting router.

INSTALLING ROUTER BIT. Insert at least
bit shank into collet, and allow
between shank and bottom of collet to ensure bit
is securely installed.

Dust Collection
Routers create a lot of wood chips/dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a
regular basis can result in permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by wearing
a respirator and capturing the dust with a
dust-collection system.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 150 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the product, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.

Table T-Slot
The Model T33850 includes a 3⁄4" T-slot (see Figure24) that can be used for attaching router
table accessories like a miter gauge, jig, or
featherboard.

Aligning Fence
with Table T-Slot
When using a miter gauge, it is important to make
sure the fence is parallel with the table T-slot.
This will help ensure the workpiece does not bind
or kick back during operation. Use a fine ruler to
make the distance equal between the fence and
the T-slot along the full length of the table (see
Figure 25).
To avoid workpiece kickback or binding
when using a miter gauge with this router
table, ALWAYS make sure fence is parallel
with table T-slot before beginning routing
operations.
Adjusting Fence
The fence assembly on the Model T33850 has an
infeed fence and an outfeed fence. These can be
moved side to side to increase or decrease the
space around the router bit.
IMPORTANT: Fences should be adjusted as
close to the bit as possible without touching in
order to minimize risk of injury and produce best
results.
To adjust the fences side to side, loosen the four
fence board lock knobs (see Figure 26) and
adjust the fence boards. Tighten all knobs when
complete.
To move the fence assembly from front to back,
loosen the two fence base lock knobs (see Figure
26) and slide the fence assembly into position.
Tighten the knobs when complete.

Adjusting
Router Bit Guard
A transparent bit guard is included with
the Model T33850 to minimize operator exposure to the spinning router bit. The
bit guard adjusts up and down and side to
side to accommodate different router bits and
different workpiece sizes (see Figure 27). For
your own safety, the bit guard must be positioned
vertically not more than
and centered horizontally on the gap between the
infeed and outfeed fences.

Using Table Inserts
The Model T33850 includes five table inserts: 1⁄2 ", 1",1 1⁄4",1 1⁄2 ", and 2" (see Figure 28). These fit into
the mounting plate and provide additional safety
and control near the router bit during operations.

stability to the workpiece during operation, which
increases safety.

Edge Jointing
Jointing the edge of a board requires a straightcutting router bit to remove wood from the face of
the board. The result is a perfectly flat and square
edge.
To edge joint with a straight-cutting router bit, a
spacer needs to be installed between the outfeed
fence and fence base. A piece of wood that
has been planed to be of equal thickness with
holes for mounting works well. The thickness of
the spacer with depend on and be equal to the
amount of material being removed from the face
of the workpiece.

Profile RoutingRouting Small Stock
For creating decorative edges or removing different shapes of material out of a workpiece, profile
routing provides a variety of options. For instance,
the Grizzly Model C1409 Ogee Bit (see Figure 31)
will produce a pattern like the one below.
Figure 31. Model C1409 Ogee Bit.
To cut a profile into a workpiece:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Secure bit in router according to router manu-
facturer's instructions.
Raise router bit to desired height, then adjust

fence so it sits behind the bit the same distance as desired depth-of-cut (see Figure 32).
Top View
Feeding small stock past the router bit increases
the risk of kickback from the workpiece slipping
into the space between the fence and bit. If you
must rout small stock, use a zero-clearance fence
board. This will provide greater protection for the
operator, better workpiece support, and reduced
tearout on narrow or fragile stock.
To make a zero-clearance fence:
DISCONNECT ROUTER FROM POWER!
1.
2. Remove infeed/outfeed fences from fence
base.

ALWAYS use hold-downs or featherboards
and push sticks when shaping small or
narrow stock. These devices keep your
hands away from spinning router bit and
sufficiently support stock to allow a safe
and effective cut, reducing risk of personal
injury.
To reduce the likelihood of kickback when freehand routing, use the starting pin or a block (see
Figures 34–35 for examples). This will allow you
to anchor and slowly pivot the workpiece into the
bit as the cut is started, making the operation
more stable and safe.

table to power, then make test cut to verify
results.
Free-Hand Routing
Irregular or free-hand routing takes a high degree
of skill and dexterity and is done without the protection and aid of the fence and router bit guard.
The most dangerous part of free-hand routing is
beginning the cut, when the router bit first contacts the workpiece. It tends to jerk or kick back,
presenting an injury hazard to the operator.

Free-hand or irregular routing greatly
increases the chance that the operator may

2. Fabricate a jig to use with workpiece that
matches desired finished shape, then attach
it to workpiece (see Figure 35).
Note: Make sure any fasteners used will not
make contact with the router bit during routing operation. Hot glue can be used as an
alternative.
