General safety rules
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your router table works.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug in the router
table until the following steps have been read and understood.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications,
limitations, and possible hazards.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose
them to rain. Keep work areas well-lit.
3. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4. ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well-lit. DO NOT work on floor
surfaces that are slippery with sawdust or wax.
5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool
is operating. NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.
7. DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches,
etc.) when operating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts
and draw you in. ALWAYS wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.
8. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK.
WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health.
Always operate the router in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust
collection systems whenever possible.
9. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electric outlet when making adjustments,
changing parts, cleaning or working on the tool.
10. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.
11. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position
before plugging in the power cord.
12. REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Always make sure all adjustment tools are removed from
the router table before turning it ON.

General safety rules (continued)
13. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do
not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
14. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit.
DO NOT store anything above or near the tool.
15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant
rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage,
improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.
18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS
remove starter keys.
19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that
could affect your ability to use the tool properly.
20. USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES—that comply with
ANSI Z87.1. Normal safety glasses only have impact resistant
lenses and are not designed for safety. Wear a face or dust mask
when working in a dusty environment. Use ear protection, such
as plugs or muffs, during extended periods of operation.

Specific safety rules for router tables
1. Fully assemble and tighten all of the fasteners required for this table. Do not use the router table
until it is fully assembled. Check the table and the router to make sure the fasteners are still
tight before each use.
2. Make sure the router table is secured to a solid, flat, and level surface, and that it will not tip
during use.
3. Make sure the router is not plugged into a power outlet when installing it on the table, making
adjustments, or changing accessories. The router could start accidentally.
4. Make sure the router is fully and securely attached to the router table. Periodically check
connections for tightness. The router motor can vibrate loose during use and fall from table.
5. Do not use the router table without the guard. The guard aids in keeping hands from unintended
contact with the rotating bit.
6. Do not use the router dust collecting attachment when installing the router on the router table.
7. Ensure the collet, with the bit fully installed, is thoroughly tightened before operating the router.
8. Never place your fingers near a spinning bit or under the guard when the router is plugged in.
Never hold the workpiece on the out-feed side of a bit. Pressing the workpiece against the out-
feed side may cause material binding and possible kickback.
9. Use the router to cut and shape wood, wood-like products, and plastic or laminates. Do not cut
or shape metals. Make sure each workpiece is free of nails or other obstructions.
10. Install the bit according to the instructions in the router manual. Make sure the bit is securely
seated in the collet chuck before making any cuts. Do not use bits that have a cutting diameter
that exceeds the clearance hole in the table insert or router sub base.
11. Do not use dull or damaged bits. Dull bits may cause the bit to break or the material to kick
back. Damaged bits can snap during use.
12. Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The cutting edge may grab the
material and cause you to lose control of the workpiece.

Specific safety rules for router tables (continued)
13. Use the router table to cut flat, straight, and squared materials. Do not cut warped, wobbly, or
otherwise unstable material. If the material is slightly curved but otherwise stable, cut the
material with the concave side against the table or fence. Cutting the material with the concave
side up or away from the table may cause warped material to roll and kick back.
14. Feed the material against the rotation of the bit. The bit rotates counter-clockwise as viewed
from the top of the table. Feeding the work in the wrong direction will cause the workpiece to
“climb” up on the bit pulling the workpiece and possibly your hands into the rotating bit.
15. Guide the workpiece by the fence to maintain control. Do not place material between the router
bit and fence while routing the edge. This will cause the material to become wedged, making
kickback possible.
16. Use push sticks, vertical- and horizontally-mounted feather boards (spring sticks), and other jigs
to hold down the workpiece. Push sticks, feather boards and jigs eliminate the need to hold the
workpiece near the spinning bit.
17. Do not use the table as a workbench or work surface. Using it for purposes other than routing
may cause damage and make it unsafe to use for routing. Do not stand on the table.

Electrical information
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper
circuit protection. The router table and router are wired at the factory for 115 V operation. Connect
to a 120 V, 15 A circuit and use a time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. If the power cord is worn,
cut, or damaged, replace it immediately.
Double insulated
This router table has a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. A.
The router table is double insulated for additional user protection.
All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protective insulation.
WARNING: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution:
Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a tool with double insulation. Servicing should
be performed by a qualified technician.
Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose tools to rain.
Grounding instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for
electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
that has a polarized plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit in the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a licensed electrician.

Guidelines for using extension cords
WARNING: This router table is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain or
use in damp locations.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to
be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG)
(When using 120 V only)
Ampere Rating Total Length of Cord in feet
More Than Not More Than 25 50 100 150
0 6 18 16 16 14
6 10 18 16 14 12
10 12 16 16 14 12
12 16 14 12 Not Recommended
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electric circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and
should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line,
make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current
stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: Although this tool is double insulated, the extension cord and receptacle
must still be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
