OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with products to make you care- less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this product for the purposes listed below:

Table mounted dado and mortise operations in wood and wood composition materials

Fence guided edging operations for cabinetry and picture framing on wood and wood composition materials

Piloted cutter operations using the starting pin for edging patterned surfaces on wood and wood composition materials

WARNING:

The direction of feed for the workpiece is always against the sharp edges of the cutter and therefore into the rota- tion of the cutter. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

When operating the router with the router table, the router must only be plugged into and controlled by the router table switched outlet. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never connect the table mounted router into another power source.

WARNING:

The router or router table should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing cutters, cleaning, or when not in use. Disconnecting the router and router table will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.

PERFORMING A ROUTING OPERATION

Observe the following rules when using the router.

Read the entire operator’s manual for the router and router table.

Plug the router table power cord into a power source.

Always control the power to the router with the router table switch whenever the router is mounted on the table.

Always plug the router into either of the router table switched outlets. Never plug a router table mounted router into another power source.

Position the infeed and outfeed fence so they are close to the maximum diameter of the cutter, but not touching the cutter.

NOTE: The workpiece must always be tight against the fence, unless you are using a ball-bearing piloted cutter.

Adjust the infeed fence to support the uncut workpiece and adjust the outfeed fence to support the workpiece after the cut. The “0” location on the fence scale denotes the center of the throat opening of the table.

Reconfirm that all router adjustments are securely locked before connecting the router table to a power source.

Feed the workpiece from right to left with the cutter in line with the fence opening.

Make sure the router table switch is off when not in use. Remove the switch key to ensure the router table is off.
