4 Secure the router plate to the
table by feeding each of the 4
screws through the top of the
table and into the router plate
(fig. N).
5. The router is positioned on an
angle when fitted into the table
so that the handle with the
variable speed dial is facing
the right rear leg allowing easy
access to the variable speed
dial and plunge lock lever.
6. Make sure the switch on the
front left leg is in the off position.
7. Plug the router power cord into
the back of the switch box
(fig. O). Secure the router
power cord so that it will not
interfere with the operation of the router.
Mounting a router other than the R1200
1. If there is no combination of screw holes in the router
plate that match perfectly the mounting requirements of
the router, it is necessary to drill extra holes.
2. Find the mounting screw holes in your router. This
may be three or four holes pre-drilled for mounting
into a power tool table, or it could be the base plastic
non-scratch plate mounting screws.
3. Work out the type and depth of screw needed and
purchase suitable countersunk-headed screws from
your local screw stockist.
4. Mark out on a piece of tracing paper the screw positions
relative to the centre of the router.
5. Turn the router plate upside down and stick the tracing
paper upside down onto the plate with its centre
coincidental to the centre of the hole in the plate.
6. Double check you have the tracing paper the correct way
up so that the router when mounted from underneath
lines up with the centre of the hole in the router plate
and the marked holes you are about to drill through.
7. Carefully drill through the router plate at the points
marked on your tracing paper.
8. Turn the router plate and countersink the holes to suit
the screws you purchased.
9. Remove the tracing paper and secure the router to the
router plate.
WARNING. Do not use your router table unless your router
is fully secured in place.
Attaching a table insert
Three table inserts (4) each with a different size opening are
supplied with the router table. Change the table inserts as
needed to accommodate the size of the router bit. The bit
should not make contact with the table insert.
WARNING. Do not use bits that have a cutting diameter that
exceeds the clearance hole in the table insert.
1. Select a table insert that has a clearance hole larger than
the diameter of the bit being used.
2. Align the table insert with the square depression that
surrounds the router opening in the table (fig. P).
3. Press gently and evenly on the table insert to secure it in
the depression (fig. Q).
