General Safety Instructions

WARNING When using electric tools, the basic safety precautions listed below should always be followed to reduce risk of fi re, electric shock,

!

and personal injury. Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this product. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Don’t use power tools in a dangerous environment. Don’t use power
tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
c) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the fumes or dust.
d) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
e) Make your workshop child proof. Use padlocks, master switches, or
remove starter keys.

2) Electrical safety
a) Ground electric tools. If the tool is equipped with a three-prong plug, it
should only be plugged into a grounded three-hole electrical outlet. If the

proper outlet is not available, have one installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
Never remove the third prong or modify the provided plug in any way.
b) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
c) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Use a proper extension cord and make sure it is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your power tool draws. An undersized cord causes a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 on the
following page shows the correct cord gauge to use depending on cord
length and tool nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
e) When operating electric tools, avoid body contact with grounded or

earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges, and refrigerators.
Contact with a grounded surface increases the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are not safety glasses.
Safety glasses have specially constructed lenses, frames, and side shields.
c) Use safety equipment. Use a face or dust mask when the cutting
operation is dusty. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
reduces personal injuries.
d) Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
e) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
f) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
g) Secure workpieces. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical.
This is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
h) Never stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the tool tips or
if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
i) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts. Roll up long sleeves to the elbow.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

j) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and

collection equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Keep guards in place and in working order.
b) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
c) Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which
it was not designed.
d) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
e) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack

from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
f) Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn power off. Don’t leave the
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
g) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
h) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, broken parts, and any other condition that may affect power tool
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
i) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
j) Use the recommended speed for the cutting tool or accessory and

workpiece material.

k) Only use parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. Using
improper accessories may cause personal injury.
l) Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits in accordance with

these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This ensures that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

6) Additional Safety Rules for the Precision Router Table Fence
a) Read, understand, and follow your router manufacturer’s safety
warnings and instructions.

b) Disconnect the router from power before making adjustments. Never
adjust the fence, plate, reducing rings, or any part of the router or router
table while the router is running.
c) Wear gloves when handling router bits. Cutting edges are sharp.
d) Keep hands away from the rotating bit when using the router table
Always use the bit guard. Use push sticks, push blocks, and feather boards
whenever possible, especially when routing narrow workpieces.
e) Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause
contact with the rotating bit. Never overreach.
f) Make sure the workpiece is clear of the bit and the bit comes to a

complete stop before adjusting the workpiece position.

g) Place the router table on a fl at surface to prevent tipping or sliding.
Never stand on the router table.

General Safety Instructions

h) Avoid kickbacks. Kickbacks occur when the workpiece binds while
being routed, causing it to twist, jump, and possibly become airborne. To

avoid kick-backs and potential injury, never trap a workpiece between
the bit and the fence, use sharp bits, keep the machine aligned and
maintained properly, and adequately support the workpiece.
i) Feed the workpiece against (not with) the bit rotation. The bit can grab
a workpiece fed with the rotation of the bit and cause your hand to
contact the bit.
j) Always support the workpiece with the fence or starter pin. Only use
the starter pin with router bits that have a guide bearing.
k) Always position the fence faces as close as possible to the bit. Turn
the bit by hand to check for interference. Firmly tighten the fence-face
T-knobs before routing.
l) Always position the bit guard over the router bit and as close to the

workpiece surface as practical.

m) When routing along straight edges, always house the bit in the fence.
Never insert a workpiece between the bit and the fence.
n) Periodically check the tightness of fasteners and adjustment and
locking knobs and the alignment of the fence. Loose fasteners and knobs
and a misaligned fence may cause personal injury.
o) This router table fence is designed for a specifi c application. Do not
modify and/or use it for any other application. If you have questions
relative to the application of the fence, DO NOT use it until you have
contacted Kreg Tool Company and have been advised accordingly.

Guidelines for extension cord use

Extension cords are only to be used for temporary purposes. They do
not replace the need for installation of outlets and proper wiring where
necessary.

In the shop and on construction sites:

1. Extension cords with an equipment grounding conductor must be
used at all times.

2. Extension cords must be protected from damage, and not run through
doorways or windows where the doors or windows may close, causing
damage to the cord.

3. Extension cords should be a minimum of 16 AWG and be rated for the
equipment in use.

4. Extension cords must be periodically inspected to ensure that the
insulation and conductivity of the wires are not compromised.

5. Extension cords should not be run through water or allowed to have
connections that may be exposed to accumulated water.

Precision Router Table Top PRS1025, which is 11⁄16" thick. For
thinner tops, insert a 1¼"-wide, 17"-long shim of the appropriate
thickness between the mounting rail (8) and the router table top to
make up the difference. For thicker table tops, create a 1¼"-wide,
17"-long recess to reduce the rail-mounting area to 11⁄16" thick. Apply
the shim or rout the recess on the bottom of the router table top at
the rear right corner. Raise the handle (1) to release the clamp-block
assembly (Parts 1-7) from the mounting rail (8). Position the rail on the

from the power source before
making any adjustments or changing
accessories. Read, understand, and
follow your router manufacturer’s
safety warnings and instructions.

Indexing the fence

The 8" tape rule and clamp block lens cursor provide an easy way to
index the fence to a router bit, allowing you to accurately rout a groove in
two passes, rout a large profi le in progressive passes, or perform a two-
step routing task and return the fence to the initial position.

Micro-Adjustment

The micro-adjuster will move the fence up to .025" in .005" increments.
Start with the fence locked in position. Slide the adjuster against the
end of the clamp block, turning the dial so the zero mark aligns with the
bottom edge of the clamp block. Tighten the knob. When adjusting the
fence away from the micro-adjuster, release the fence and turn the dial
to the desired increment. The dial pushes the fence to the new position.
Lock the fence. When adjusting the fence toward the micro-adjuster, turn
the dial to the desired increment and tighten the knob. Unlock the fence,
push it against the micro-adjuster, and re-lock the fence.
