2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Explanation of the symbols Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non- observance of the instructions in this manual. Indicates electrical shock hazard.8

Danger! Keep hands away from moving parts. Wear ear protection. Wear safety glasses. Wear dust mask. Additional safety instructions Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your router table works. Read this manual to understand this router table.

• Always wear eye protection.

• Noise levels vary widely with location. To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or ear muffs when using your router table for long periods of time.

• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with safety goggles.

• Follow the instructions in your router owner’s manual.

• Warning! Vibrations, caused by the router during use, can cause fasteners to become loose. Before use and periodically during use,check all fasteners to make sure that all are tight and secure.

• Do not use this product until all assembly and installation steps have been completed. Make sure you have read and understand all safety and operational instructions in this manual and the router owner’s manual.

• Make sure that the router bit is properly positioned and clamped in the router before making any cuts.

• Do not use the router table as a workbench or work surface. Doing so may damage it, causing it to be unsafe to use. A workbench should be used for this purpose.

• This product is designed for cutting flat workpieces. Do not cut or attempt to cut workpieces. Do not cut or attempt to cut workpieces that are not flat.

• This product is designed for cutting wood workpieces only. Do not use to cut metal or other non-wood materials.

• The use of auxiliary in-feed and out-feed supports is strongly recommended when routing long workpieces. Otherwise those workpieces can cause the route table to tip over.

• Keep hands clear of the router bits and working area.

• Make and use a push stick to move small workpieces across the cutting area.

• Clean the router after use. The use of a wet/dry vac or vacuum equipment is recommended.

• Always make sure that work surface of the router table is clean and free from dust, chips, and foreign particles that can interfere with the cut you are going to make. The use of a wet/dry vac or vacuum equipment is recommended.

• The fence that comes with the router table has a dust collector to which a wet/dry vac can be attached.

• Check the function of the guard before each use. Remove all dust, chips, and any other foreign particles that can affect its function.

• Warning! Never put your fingers under the overhead guard when the router is plugged into and electrical outlet or when the router bit is rotating.

• Always feed the workpiece against the rotation of the cutter or router bit.

• Router bits are extremely sharp, be extra careful when handling and using them.

• Make sure that the router bits being used are sharp or have been properly re-sharpened. This will permit fast, efficient, and safe routing.

• Some routers, when positioned in an upside down position (such as on an router table), will drop or fall out of the router base when the base clamp is loosened to adjust height or depth of cut. Therefore, it is extremely important to support the router from below when making these adjustments or whenever the base clamp is loosened.

• Always look under the router table at the router switch box when turning the router ON or OFF. Do not touch anything but the switch box when doing this. Never reach under the router table for any reason when the router table is running, except to turn it OFF.

• Warning! Before making any cut, make sure the router is turned OFF, the router bit is not rotating, and the power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet. Then, make absolutely sure that the overhead guard clears the router bit and the workpiece. A trial pass, with the router turned OFF and the router bit not turning, is strongly9

• Warning! Never leave the router table unattended while the router is running. Turn the router OFF before leaving the router table for any reason. Electrical safety Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Replacing cables or plugs Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet. Using extension cables Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm

. When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely.

Assembling the router table Fig. 1 - 13 Before assembling the table, ensure all components are present. In case of shortages please contact the service address on the warranty card. To assemble your router table, do the following:

• Lay the table top (1, Fig.1) upside down on a flat surface (Fig.2).

• Place a table leg (2, Fig.1) using four hex head bolts (M6X12) and nuts (M6), do not fully tighten yet (Fig.3).

• Repeat the above for the other three legs, and make sure the four legs are on the same flat surface, then tighten all the bolts.

• Once all four legs are securely tightened, turn assembly over, check the table assy does not rock. If any rocking is detected, this must be rectified before continuing by loosening the bolts on the offending leg/legs and adjusting accordingly.

• Insert two coach bolts (M5X50) into holes marked “B” from the top of the table (Fig.4).

• Attach the fence (9, Fig.1), using hex head bolts, washers and knobs supplied. Insert the bolts from the underside of the table through the holes marked “A” (Fig. 5). Place the fence on the bolts and secure in position with washers and knobs. Note: Use the graduated scales to line up the fence accurately.

• Fit the fence pressure pad (7, Fig. 1) by doing the following:

• Loosen all the fittings on the guide for fence pressure pad (6, Fig. 1).

• Insert two coach bolt (M6X25) into the holes on the top of guide for fence pressure pad (Fig. 6).

• Put the guide for fence pressure pad on the top of fence, and align two holes with the two holes on the fence, then insert two bolts (M6X25) into the holes, and secure in position with nuts (Fig. 7).

• Slide the two front fence, in order to have enough space for fence pressure pad, then put fence pressure pad on the two bolts, and secure it in position with washer and locking knob (Fig. 8 and Fig. 9).

• Fit table pressure pad (3, Fig. 1) by doing the following:

• Loosen all the fittings on table pressure pad.

• Loosen two screws on guide for table pressure pad (8, Fig. 1), and align two hole on guide for table pressure into the two holes on the front side wall on the table, then insert two screws into the holes, secure it in position with nut (Fig. 10).

• Insert two coach bolts (M6X25) into the hole on guide for table pressure pad, and put table pressure pad on the two bolts, and secure it in position with washer and locking knob (Fig. 11 and Fig. 12)

• Fit the switch box (5, Fig. 1) by doing the following:

• Align two holes on switch box into the two holes on the front side wall of table.

• Fit in position with two Phillips head screws inserted from the front of table secured with two nuts (Fig. 13).10

Mounting the router Fig.14 - 16 Attach the router to the router table by doing the following:

• Loosen the fence securing knobs and slide fence forwards as far as possible, this prevents the router coach bolts (M5X50) from falling through the table when it is turned over.

• Carefully turn the table over and support by it laying it onto suitable sized blocks of wood or similar supportable items. (Fig. 14)

• Place the router in position on the underside of the table as central as possible. Insert two coach bolts into holes marked “C” (Fig. 4) from the table top, now underneath (Fig. 15).

• Loosely secure router in position with the 4 bolts (Fig. 16). It may be necessary to rotate the router in order to locate all 4 bolts correctly. If router is fitted with a speed control, try if possible to position the speed control where it can easily be accessed from the front of the table. Once the router is in the desired position, tighten the 4 bolts sufficiently to prevent the router moving whilst in operation.

• Plug the router plug into the receptacle of the switch box. This router table only can fit routers with up to 162mm diameter base plate.

• Your router table is now fully assembled and ready for use.

When making adjustments etc, always ensure the router is isolated from the main electrical supply by switching off and removing the plug from the socket. Note: Always refer to the specific router operating instruction manual when making height and speed adjustments etc. Installing bits To install bits whilst the router is situated in the table will require the router to be lowered fully. Select desired bit and install. Fit the table insert closest to the size of the bit, ensure the bit does not touch the insert. Height adjustment Raise the router until the bit protrudes through the table the required amount. Make test cuts on scrap pieces of wood to set accurately. Fence adjustment Loosen the two fence clamping knobs and position the fence as desired, use the graduation marks to set the fence parallel. Make test cuts on scrap pieces of wood to set accurately. Pressure pad Set the fence pressure pad to hold the piece of wood flat on the table and against the fence whilst machining. To do this, place the piece of wood against the fence and bellow the relevant pad to be adjusted, loose the two locking knobs and lower the pad until it rests on the wood, push the pad down a little further to apply sufficient pressure to hold the wood flat on the table. Adjust the table feather board in the same manner to hold the wood firmly against the fence. Jointing fence Set the jointing fence to support the wood when cutting the full thickness. Adjust the cutting depth etc as previously described, proceed to machine the piece of wood until the lead edge passed over the jointing fence by approx 25mm. Switch off and isolate from the main electrical supply. Hold the wood firmly against the Fence, loosen the jointing fence clamping knob, slide the jointing fence out towards the wood until it touches, tighten the clamping knob. Back the workpiece away from the cutter before switching on again and continuing machining. As with all power tools, especially those with cutters/blades, keep hands and fingers safety away from blades by using push sticks etc when working on small workpieces. Dust extraction Fig. 17 The router table is provided with a dust extraction facility, where a vacuum extractor may be connected to the outlet at the rear of the table, using the adapter supplied. The connection hose requires an inside diameter of 34 mm to fit the adapter supplied, the hose, ideally should be a reasonably tight fit on the adapter, which is then just pushed into the hole in the back of the table. Note however, that this does not preclude the11

user from wearing a face mask to prevent the inhalation of dust particles.
