Router Table Assembly

MOUNTING THE ROUTER TABLE TO A WORK SURFACE OR WORKBENCH

Before operating, make sure the entire unit (table with router installed) is placed on and secured to a solid, flat, level surface and will not tip. Use of auxiliary in-feed and out-feed sup- ports is necessary for long or wide workpieces. Long workpieces without adequate support can cause the router table to tip over.

TOOLS REQUIRED (not included)

Phillips screwdriver

Small-sized adjustable wrench

Electric or hand drill with drill bits (depending on mounting method used)

Fasteners (not included):

You may also use the optional Bosch RA1190 Router Table Floor Stand, available separately through your Bosch retailer.

The RA1190 Router Table Floor Stand features:

Places the router table at the optimum working height.

Has adjustable nonslip foot pads for leveling the table on uneven floor surfaces.

Has two heavy-duty steel shelves for storage.

Four #14, #16, or #18 x 2pan-head wood screws (for solid wood work surfaces or workbenches), or

Four 5/16pan head machine screws, washers, and hex nuts, or

Clamps

METHOD 1 (Fig. 13)

1.Set the router table on a workbench or other stable and sturdy surface, with the FRONT (switch side) of the router table facing toward you.

2. While holding the router table in the desired position, mark the location of the four mounting holes (one in each corner).

3.Remove the router table from the workbench and set it aside.

4.Drill a 1/8pilot hole (for wood screws) or an appropriately sized hole (for machine screws) at the marked locations.

5.Place the router table on the workbench and align the mounting holes in the router table legs with the holes drilled in the workbench.

6.Secure the router table in place using wood screws and washers (not provided) or machine screws, washers, and nuts (not provided). If using wood screws, applying a little bar soap or bees wax to the screw threads will make it easier to thread the screws into the pilot holes.

7.TIGHTEN all screws SECURELY.
