Step 15
Locate the 48” Center Reading Tape (#35) and trim each side to the
17-15/16” mark with a sturdy scissors. Carefully remove one corner of the
backing, apply the tape 1/16 from the edge of the Large Fence and continue
to remove the backing while you press the tape across the surface of the
fence. Be careful to eliminate all air bubbles under the tape as you move
across. If properly applied, the other end of the tape should also come to rest
1/16” from the other edge of the Large Fence.
For most applications, the tape will be used as a distance reference instead of
an exact measurement. To precisely center the tape on the router bit, loosen
the T-Knobs on the Fence Mount and make adjustments as necessary.
Mount the Fence Guard (#11) by sliding two ¼-20 x 1-1/4” T-Bolts (#25) into
the T-slot on the top, front edge of the Large Fence. Slide both to the center
of the fence, add two Plastic Spacer Washers (#24) onto each T-Bolt, and
place the Fence Guard (#11) on to each T-Bolt. Fasten using two ¼” Brass
Washers (#17) and two Small T-Knobs (#16).
Slide the Precision Lens Cursor (#10) into the Mounting Rail as far as
is shown, and lock it into place using the 10-32 x ¼” Nylon Screw (#20)
This Screw can be loosened and re-tightened to make any adjustments
necessary to the Precision Lens Cursor.
Slide the fence to the back of the router table top. Locate the 8 ¼”
Tape Slider (#8). Insert the Tape Slider into the Mounting Rail (#1)
and thread the Knurled Thumb Screw (#19) from the bottom side
of the Mounting Rail to hold the Tape Slider in place. Locate the 8”
Measuring Tape (#9). Position the tape so the 2” marking is on the
front edge of the Tape Slider. Apply by peeling the adhesive backing
from the Measuring Tape and pressing into place. The Measuring
tape and Tape Slider are the same length so no cutting of the tape
is necessary. When the tape requires adjustment, simply loosen the
Thumb Screw, make your adjustment as necessary, and re-tighten.

Locate the Table Mount (#5) and position it underneath the far right hand
corner of your Kreg Precision Router Table Top. Using the four 1” Coarse
Thread Screws (#28) and the pre-drilled holes in the Table Top, secure the
Table Mount fl ush with the back and right side edges of the Table Top.
Note: If you are using a homemade or other type of router table top you will
not have pre-drilled holes for this step. When you screw in the Coarse Thread
Screws, be extra sure that the Table Mount is perfectly fl ush with the back and
right side edges of the table top before securing. Also be sure that the hardware
is not so long that it will puncture your top surface when completely driven. You
may need to purchase shorter hardware if this is a potential problem.
Step 1
Insert the four ¼-20” x ¾” Hex Bolts (#31) into the holes (not slots) on the
side of the Table Mount (#5) and attach using four ¼” Brass Washers (#17)
and four ¼-20 Hex Nuts (#23). Be sure to use the thicker Hex Nuts and not
the thinner Jam Nuts. The bolts should hang loosely at this point. Do not
tighten down.
Note: If you are using a homemade or other type of router table top you will
use the slots in the Table Mount instead of the holes. This will allow you to
adjust for the thickness of your Table Top later on.

· Woodworking machines are dangerous, and can cause personal injury if not
used
properly.
· Read safety instructions and operating instructions for your machine completely,
before using products. Using this system before understanding its safe and
proper use could result in serious injury to the operator.
· Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
· For your own safety, read instruction manual before operating the tool. Learn the
tools application and limitations as well as the specifi c hazards distinctive to it.
· Keep all guards and safety devices in proper place while using these products.
· Always wear safety glasses.
· Keep hands well away from the rotating bit when operating machine.
· Avoid akward hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause contact with the
rotating bit.
· This system was designed for certain applications only. Kreg strongly recommends
that this system NOT be modifi ed and/or used for any application other than
for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its application,
DO NOT use the tool until you have written, phoned, or e-mailed Kreg Tool and
have been advised accordingly.
· Be aware of kickbacks. Kickbacks occur when the workpiece binds-up while being
routed, causing it to twist, jump, and possibly become airborne. To avoid kick
backs (and potential injury) always use sharp bits, keep the machine aligned and
maintained properly, and adequately secure/support the workpiece.
· Turn machine off before adjusting. Never adjust the fence, plate level, reducing rings,
or any other part of the tool while the machine is running.
· Wait for the machine to stop. Make sure the router comes to a complete stop before
adjusting the workpiece or workpiece-angle.
· Ground electric machines. If your machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it
should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle only. If the proper
outlet is not available, have one installed by a qualifi ed electrician before use.
Never remove the third prong, and never modify the provided plug in any way.
· Don’t operate in a dangerous or unclean environment. Don’t use power tools in
damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well-lit,
un-cluttered, and clean.
· Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance
from the work area, and should not operate the tool under any condition.
· Make your workshop “child-proof”. Use padlocks, master switches, or any other means
necessary to make your work area safe for children.
· Use the right tool. Never ‘force’ the tool to do work for which it was not intended. If used
properly, the tool will produce better results in less time, under safer conditions.
· Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or any other
jewelry that could possibly get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is highly
recommended, as is protective hair covering. Remember to always use safety glasses,
specifi cally designed as safety wear.
· Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when it is practical and safe.
Using the proper tool may allow you to free both hands for tool operation. Also, be sure
to never overreach.
· Secure your tools. In the event of the machine tipping or sliding, it is always
recommended to secure your tools to the machine during use.
· Keep the proper footing and balance. Ensure that you are in no danger of slipping or
sliding once you turn the machine on. Once again, non-slip footwear is highly
recommended.
· Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp, clean, and properly maintained for the
highest quality and safest performance. Remember to properly follow all lubrication and
accessory maintenance practices, as detailed in this Instruction Manual.
· Disconnect tool before servicing. When changing accessories such as bits, clamps, etc.,
making any sort of physical assessment of the tool, or when motor is being mounted/
connected, remember to disconnect the machine from its power source. This will reduce
the possibility of accidentally engaging the machine.
· Check for damaged parts. Before use of the tool, a careful assessment of all guards and
other parts should be made to ensure that it will operate properly, and perform as
intended. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced as soon as possible,
preceding any additional use. Do not use the tool if you are not qualifi ed to make these
sorts of assessments.
· Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn the machine’s power “OFF”
after operation. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
· Drugs, alcohol, medication warning. Do not operate tool while under the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medications.
