ADJUSTMENTS
INSERTING THROAT PLATES
See Figure 12.
The throat plate provides a stable surface around the cutter and prevents objects from falling through the throat and damaging the spindle.
The proper size throat plate depends on the size and shape of the cutter. When inserted, the throat plate opening should be within approximately 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) of the outermost edge of the cutter.
Follow these directions to insert throat plates.
QPosition the throat plate over the throat opening in
the router table.
QAlign the tab in the throat plate with the slot in the throat opening.
QSnap throat plate down and into place as shown.
NOTE: To remove throat plate, pull gently until the throat plate snaps out.
WARNING:
Never attempt to operate router table without the throat plate in place. Failure to do so could result in the workpiece jamming or objects falling into the rotating spindle, which could cause serious personal injury.
POSITIONING THE FENCE
The fence enables you to support and guide the workpiece.
See Figure 13.
Follow these directions to position the fence.
QLoosen the fence lock knobs.
QPosition the fence the proper distance from the cut- ter based on the amount of material you plan to remove.
Q Tighten the fence lock knobs.
ADJUSTING THE STEP RISERS
See Figure 14.
The step risers, located on the outfeed side of the fence, enable you to support the workpiece as it exits the cutter. The step risers provide support for routing operations that remove up to 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) of material. The step risers are adjustable in 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) increments.
Follow these directions to adjust the step risers.
Q Loosen the knob bolts on the rear of the fence.
QPush the riser forward and toward the throat.
QTighten the knob bolts.
