Router Installation

Model W1821 (For Machines Mfg. Since 3/10)

The Model W1821 will support a router with a base thickness between 1⁄4" and 2⁜1⁄4".

To install a router, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW AND ROUTER FROM POWER!

2.Slide three of the router hold-down assemblies into the T-slots underneath the router table so that they allow room for the router base, as shown in Figure 17.

Note: To properly position the hold-down clamp, balance the tightness of the hold-down knob and the adjustment bolt so that the clamp will allow room for the router base in the next step. If necessary, put the adjustment bolt jam nut on the other side of the clamp.

If the router unexpectedly moves or the router bit contacts the table insert or fence during operation, serious personal injury could result from flying debris. ALWAYS make that at least three router clamps are used and are applied to a flat surface of the router base before connecting the router to power.

3.Slide the router base onto the three hold-down clamps, position them so that they secure the router bit in the center of the table opening, then tighten the hold-down knobs and adjustment bolts to secure the router in place (see Figure 18).

4.Install the remaining hold-down assembly to make sure the router stays firmly in place during operation.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the router table T-slots, do not position the clamp adjustment bolts over the thin edge of the T-slots.
