Router guard

reduce the risk of accidental cutter contact during
operation. the router guard (see

figure 14) is

also designed to be connected to a dust collector
to help collect dust and chips during operation.

the fence setup requires making a support board
and two fence pieces. the support board aids in
mounting and remounting the fence pieces.

the fence pieces must be moved in or out to
minimize router bit clearance for maximum safety
and support. often, more than one fence will be
necessary to safely accommodate various sized
router bits.

To make a shop made fence and install the

router guard:

1. Make a support board with a piece of 1

3. Mark the center point of the length of the sup-

port board (

figure 17).

4. remove the fence face from the right-hand

side of the fence by unscrewing the six
mounting screws.

Note: Be careful not to disturb any shim tape
on the metal body of the fence. This has been
carefully installed at the factory to ensure
that the fence face remains straight when
installed.

5. rest the fence face and the support board on

the saw table, align the center point marks,
and clamp the two pieces together.

the router guard is intended to be used with a
shop-made fence and must be used when mak-
ing cuts that leave part of the router bit exposed
to the operator.
