Table flatness adjustment

See Figure 24

Your router table comes equipped with 2 “L” brackets mounted under it to help ensure the flatness of the working surface. If the router table should ever become warped, the flatness can be adjusted by shimming under the “L” brackets. Loosen “L” brackets mounting screws and place shims as necessary. Tighten the “L” bracket screws securely. Check table top flatness with a straightedge or the edge of a carpenters square.

OPERATION

Connecting a Vacuum

A port is provided in the fence which will accept standard 1-1/4" and 2-1/2" vacuum hose connections. It works with most shop vacuums. If the vacuum is plugged into the switch box, it will turn ON and OFF simultaneously with the router.

Assemble and using the Inserts

See Figure 25

Inserts help reduce the amount of wood chips and dust that can accumulate on the router table. They can also lend stability to the work piece.

Four inserts come with your router table. Three of the inserts are for use with a specific size bit (refer to the following chart).
