FEATURES

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety pre- cautions to avoid electrical shock.

Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

SWITCH

The router table has a conveniently located toggle switch. In addition, the router table is equipped with a switch key. You must insert the key to turn the switch on. If you remove the key during operation, you can turn the switch off, but you may not turn it on again until you replace the key.

FENCE ASSEMBLY

The fence assembly provides an adjustable surface to support and guide the work.

STARTING PIN

When you are unable to use the fence for a guide because the workpiece is odd-shaped or too small, use the starting pin for a guide. Only use piloted cutters when using the starting pin.

CUTTER GUARD/VACUUM ATTACHMENT

The cutter guard provides a barrier to protect the operator from contact with the cutter and is adjustable for all types of cuts and materials. The cutter guard also doubles as a vacuum attachment. You can insert a standard shop vacuum into the top of the clear plastic ring to keep dust down to a minimum.

MITER GAUGE

A miter gauge is used for mitered routing and to help support wider pieces.

GUARDS

The undertable guard and rear safety guard ensure that your hand, loose clothing, and other objects do not come in contact with the cutter or collet during operation.

WARNING:

The undertable guard and rear safety guard must be securely in place before using the router table. Fail- ure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

THROAT PLATES

Five throat plates are included with the router table. The throat plate provides a stable surface around the cutter and prevents objects from falling through the throat and damaging the spindle.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with your router or router table to make you careless. Remember that a care- less fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
