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 3conductor 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 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

DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING

When changing, bits, make sure router is unplugged.

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 OR A VISE TO HOLD WORK WHEN PRACTICAL

Using clamps or a vise 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.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

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

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE

MOUNTING THE ROUTER

Always remove router bits

WARNING

and unplug router before mounting to router table.

The table will accept routers with bases up to 7" in diameter. There are two methods for attaching routers to router table. See chart below to see whether your router will mount directly to the table or will require the use of the adaptor plate provided.

NOTE: If your router is not one of those listed in the chart, place the adaptor base plate on top of the router base plate and rotate until the holes in the two plates are aligned. When hole patterns line up, the mounting scheme has been identified.

Then, countersink the holes and fasten router to the tabletop, as described in "Mounting Routers With Three-Hole Base Plate Hole Pattern E" on next page.

SECURING THE ROUTER TABLE

DO NOT use the router

WARNING

table unless it is firmly mounted to a stable work surface. Failure to securely mount the router table could lead to serious personal injury and/or property damage.

Secure router table to the work surface using wood screws or sheet metal screws and washers (not provided) through the holes provided. There are a total of 8 mounting holes. See Figure

12.

SWITCH BOX

Figure 12

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 13.

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 14.) The switch box's electrical cord features an equipmentgrounding connector and a grounding plug. Insert the plug into an accommodating outlet that conforms to all local electrical codes and the National Electric Code (NEC).

reset button

Figure 13

Figure 14

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.

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.

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 adapter to connect the switch box's three-prong plug to a two-hole receptacle. Make use of the temporary adapter only until a qualified electrician installs a correctly grounded, threeprong outlet. The green rigid lug or grounding wire MUST connect to the ground on the outlet. (See Figure 15, below.)

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, in turn, 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 adapter 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.

Figure 15

Switch Box Familiarization

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

WARNING

router in at this time. An ON switch will start 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 16.

NOTE: If your router requires the use of the switch trigger and "Lock-On" button, refer to your Router Owner's Manual for operating instructions.
