ROUTER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
i)MAKE SURE THE ROUTER IS UNPLUGGED. Remove the face plate cover from the router ( If your router does not have a removable face plate cover, measure the spacing of the fixing holes in the face plate and then mark out the insert plate, keeping the cutter aperture as the centre).

ii)Remove the Oval Insert Plate (3) from the Router Table.
iii)Align the centre of the aperture in the insert plate with the centre of the

Using the face plate cover as a template mark out the fixing holes.
The number and position of the holes will vary with each model of router. Use the larger diameter holes if there is a choice.
A minimum of two fixings must be used, three or four fixings is preferable with heavier routers.
A selection of fixing screws are included in this pack- age which covers most common routers, but we cannot guarantee to cover every available model of router. In some instances it may be necesary to obtain alterna- tive fixing screws.
iv)Drill and countersink the insert plate. Use a drill bit size suitable to the fixing screw you are going to use. If you do not have a countersink tool, drill the fixing hole and then make a countersink by partially drilling through with a larger diameter drill bit. Take care not to drill right through the insert plate.
Normally the mounting holes will be drilled through the black plastic part of the insert plate, however with some smaller routers it is necessary to drill the fixing holes into one of the tranparent insert rings (4&5).
v)Leaving the face plate cover off (if removed) attach the insert plate to the router using the fixing screws supplied or alternative screws where required. Ensure the heads of the screws are slightly below the surface of the table. If they are not, it is necesary to drill the countersink slightly deeper.

vi)Check that the router is secured tightly to the insert plate and that there is no movement between the two.
vii)Install the desired cutter and set to the correct depth. Fit the router and insert plate into the table, securing with the four M6x16mm countersunk screws
(6).
The Router Table is now ready for use.
