Table flatness adjustment

See Figure 16

Your router table comes equipped with an “L” bracket 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” bracket. Loosen “L” bracket 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 hole is provided under the safety shield that will accept standard 1-1/4" vacuum hose connections. (For some shop vacuums, an adapter must be purchased.) If the vacuum is plugged into the switch box, it will turn ON and OFF simultaneously with the router.

WARNING:

Do not use a router bit with a diameter greater than 1-1/4". Consult your router manual for the maximum size of router bit allowable.

Using your router/router table

WARNING:

Before you start work with your new router table: Refer to your router owner's manual to see how the height of the cut can be adjusted.

WARNING:

Make sure router is unplugged before starting depth/height adjustments.

NOTE: Using scrap board that is smooth and true is recommended for making this adjustment.

See Figure 17

1.At the end of the board, use a soft pencil to mark line #1. This indicates the depth of the cut.

2.Then mark line #2, indicating the height of the cut.

3.Place your board so that it is snug against the right fence face. The end with lines #1 and #2 should be near the bit.

4.Loosen the right fence clamping knobs enough so you can move the fence easily. Move fence and board so that the board contacts the outer edge of the router bit at line #1.

5.Tighten the right fence clamping knobs.

6.Adjust router height so the cutting edge of the bit contacts line #2.

7.Make sure bit is securely tightened in the collet.
