OPERATION

Connecting a Vacuum

A hole is provided under the safety
shield that will accept standard 1-1/4"
vacuum hose connections. (For some
shop vacuums, an adapter must be
purchased.) If the vacuum is plugged
into the switch box, it will turn ON and
OFF simultaneously with the router.

Using the Fences

Feed workpiece
against the router bit's
direction of rotation. Unplug router prior
when changing the bit, modifying
settings, or making any other
adjustments.

3. Tighten the knobs that secure the

right fence in place.

4. Place a straightedge against the right

fence face.


NOTE: When making this adjustment,
the router bit can interfere with the
straightedge. If this occurs, lower the bit
below the surface of the table until both
fences are positioned.

5. Using the straightedge as a guide,

position the left fence so it is even
with the right fence.

6. Swing the safety shield over the

router bit.

7. Your router/router table is now ready

to use.

NOTE: Remember to always feed the
workpiece against router bit's direction
of rotation. Test on a scrap of wood
before making final cuts.
