SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with WARNING and CAUTION.

WARNING

Means that failure to follow this safety statement may result in extensive product damage, serious personal injury, or death.

CAUTION

WARNING

READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards.

GROUND ALL TOOLS (UNLESS DOUBLE INSULATED)

If tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal.

KEEP AWAY FROM HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes, flammable liquids, or combustibles.

Means that failure to follow this safety statement may result in minor or moderate personal injury, or property or equipment damage.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL

Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. DO NOT store materials above or near the tool making it necessary to stand on the tool to reach them.

PROTECT AND USE SUITABLE CORDS

NEVER carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Protect cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. For temporary outdoor operation, use extension cords intended for outdoor use.

AVOID A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT

DO NOT use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit and provide an adequate surrounding work space.

PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST PERSONAL INJURY

DO NOT operate any tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.

DRESS FOR SAFETY

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry, as these items can get caught and draw you into moving parts. ALWAYS wear non-slip footwear. Tie back long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES

Wear safety goggles (must comply with ANSI Z87.1) at ALL times. Also, use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty, and use ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING

Make sure all switches are in "OFF" position before plugging in.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

CHECK DIRECTION OF FEED

Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED

Turn power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

WARNING

CONTINUED

SECURE ROUTER TABLE

DO NOT attempt to use your router table unless it is fastened firmly to your workbench or rests stably on the floor.

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA

CAUTION

STORE PROPERLY

Do not store router table outdoors or in a damp location.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN

ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well lit. DO NOT work on or place router table legs on floor surfaces that are slippery from sawdust, oil, water, or wax.

DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL

Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.

USE CLAMPS TO HOLD WORK WHEN PRACTICAL

Using clamps to hold work is safer than using your hand. It also frees both hands to operate the tool.

DO NOT OVERREACH

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING

When changing bits, make sure router is unplugged.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

Be sure guards are in working order, properly adjusted, and aligned.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES

Consult this manual for recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that accompany the accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.

ENSURE SAFETY OF OTHERS

Keep visitors and children a safe distance away from the work area, especially when operating a power tool. Visitors should wear the same safety equipment as the operator.

If your router is not one of those listed in the chart, place the router base plate on top of the router table and rotate the base plate until the holes are aligned. When the two hole patterns line up, your mounting pattern has been identified. See Figure 18.

Mount Router Directly to the

Table

BA, black (4)

1. Remove router base plate from router by removing screws.

2. Loosen knobs and slide fence so that it clears mounting holes.

3. While holding router upside down, position it underneath the table so that the center of the router is within the center ring of the table top.

NOTE: For ease of use, position the router so the ON-OFF switch is accessible from the front of the table.

5. Insert router base plate screws previously removed through holes in table top and into router mounting holes. Tighten securely. See Figure

19.

Make sure the screws

WARNING

from your router base plate match the countersinks in the table and are long enough to mount the router to the table. If necessary repace with screws that are 1/8 to 1/4 inch longer.

4. Rotate router until mounting holes in router base line up with the holes in the table top.

Figure 19

Mounting Routers with Square Adaptor Plate

Some router models will not mount directly to this router table. For these routers, a square adapator base plate is provided. It will need to be modified to fit your particular router. Once modified, and attached to your router, it will mount directly to the router table.

1. Cut out template on page 23. Also cut out inner circle of template.

2. Position template on the side of square adaptor base plate with welded nuts.

3. Accurately line up the edges of the template with the edges of the adaptor base plate. Make sure inner circle also precisely matches hole in plate.

10. Using a drill bit that matches the diameter of the holes in the router base plate, bore into the square adaptor base plate in the locations previously marked. (To reduce drill breakout, use a back-up board.)

11. Remove the paper template from the square adaptor base plate.

12. Flip the square adaptor base plate over. With the welded nuts now facing downward, position the adaptor plate on the router. (The welded nuts and the router must be on the same side of the adapter plate.) See Figure

22.

4. Use tape to attach template to the square adaptor base plate (Z).

5. Lay the square adaptor base plate on a flat surface with template and weldnuts facing up.

6. Unscrew the fasteners that hold the router base plate to the router and set them aside.

7. Turn the router base plate over and position it face down on the template, which is still taped to the square adaptor base plate. The position of the base plate must line up with one of the circles on the template. See Figure 21.

13. With the square adaptor base plate holes and router holes aligned, insert appropriate screws and tighten.

 Make sure the screws

WARNING

from your router base plate are long enough to mount the square adaptor base plate securely. If necessary, replace with screws that are 1/8" to 1/4" longer.

SWITCH BOX

Introduction

A conveniently located Switch Box allows the operator to:

• turn the router ON and OFF from the front of the table

• simultaneously operate other devices such as a light or a vacuum

It also features a resettable, internal circuit breaker that protects your equipment against overloads. See Figure 25.

Electrical Hookup

Proper grounding diverts potentially dangerous electricity away from the operator. The switch box is intended for use with a three-prong, grounded outlet. (See Figure 26, below.) The switch box's electrical cord features an equipment-grounding connector and a grounding plug. Insert the plug into an accommodating outlet that conforms to the National Electric Code (NEC) and all local electrical codes.

WARNING

  DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG

If it does not fit correctly, a qualified electrician must install a compatible outlet.

AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

NEVER connect the equipment grounding connector (green wire) to a "hot" electrical terminal. When repairing or replacing the electric plug or cord, DO NOT connect the grounding connector to a "hot" electrical terminal.

Consult a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding procedures, or if you are not sure whether the switch box is correctly grounded.

Figure 26

REPLACE DAMAGED CORDS

Damaged and/or worn cords must be repaired or replaced immediately.

Extension cords must be three-wire, 14 gauge or larger, with three-prong "male" plugs, and three hole "female" receptacles fabricated to accept the tool's plug.

The electrical outlets on the bottom of the switch box accept three-prong grounded plugs and the two-prong plugs of double insulated tools.

WARNING

Switch Box Familiarization

The electrical outlets on the bottom of the switch box accept three-prong grounded plugs and the two-prong plugs of double insulated tools. If a correctly grounded outlet is unavailable, use a temporary adaptor to connect the switch box's threeprong plug to a two-hole receptacle. Make use of the temporary adaptor only until a qualified electrician installs a correctly grounded, three-prong outlet. The green rigid lug or grounding wire MUST connect to the ground on the outlet. See Figure 27.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT touch prongs when inserting or removing plug from outlet. Improper grounding can produce potentially hazardous electrical discharges that can cause serious injury or death - especially in wet conditions such as a basement, outside, or near plumbing.

DO NOT attach a 3-way plug or any other adaptor to outlets on bottom of switch box.

Only use the switch box when it is properly assembled to the router table AND when the router is properly attached to the router table.

The purpose of this section is to familiarize the user with the operation of the switch box BEFORE the router is plugged in.

DO NOT plug the

router in at this time. An ON switch will start the router and an unprepared user could possibly be seriously injured.

The Switch Box also features a safety key that prevents tools plugged into the switch box from being turned ON inadvertently. Removal of the safety key disables the switch box by locking the switch in the OFF position. Strike the switch paddle with your hand to turn the router OFF in an emergency situation. Please note paddle switch positions and reset button at this time. See Figure 28.
