Important Safety Points

Before operating your router table please read this manual thoroughly. Safety and use tips are contained in the manual. This page is not the sole source of safety information. Retain the manual for future reference. Refer to your router owner's manual for safety instructions regarding use of that tool. This manual is not an instruction book on how to do woodworking with a power tool. We encourage all woodworkers to continually seek improvement in their woodworking skills, regardless of their craftsmanship or years of experience. The router table, fence and accessories must only be used for their intended purpose: woodworking via normal routing operations. “Normal operations” means basic shaping of wood in conditions where grounded electricity, sharp tools, dust, and rapidly spinning parts can be used or encountered safely. The following instructions elaborate on this concept.

1.Do not use your router table as a step or seat.

2.The top and cabinet must be properly secured, and be level before use. Inspect your table and base for damage and levelness prior to each use.

3.Keep work area clean, dry and well lit.

4.The hardware affixing the insert to the routertop must be installed for safe use. Tighten insert hold-down screws before each use.

5.Safe operation requires a router table fence, bit guard, dust collection system, starting pin or fulcrum, and speed reducer for large diameter bits. We recommend reducing router speed for 1" or larger diameter bits. Consult your bit manufacturer for the exact speed.

6.Use the right tool for the job. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

7.Secure your work with a featherboard, clamps, or a vice when appropriate. The use of inappropriate accessories may cause injury.

8.Wear safety glasses, dust mask, face shield and ear protection. This is not an exhaustive list. Every-day eye glasses do not substitute for safety glasses.

9.Do not wear gloves or jewelry while using a power tool and ProTop.

10.Maintain your equipment and its accessories in good working condition. Look for wear, poor alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage, poor mounting, or other conditions that may affect operation and safety. Repair or replace any damaged parts.

11.Disconnect the power before moving, adjusting, or repairing parts, or otherwise maintaining your router table and any accessories you may be using.

12.Keep children, pets, and those who may disregard safety away from work area, cords, sockets and tools.

13.Wear snug fitting clothes and keep long hair back to avoid catching in moving parts.

14.Do not overreach. Maintain balanced footing and stance.

15.Stay alert. Use common sense.
