ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

Assembling Cabinet, Table Top, Fence and Accessories

This router table must be fully assembled following the parts diagram (Fig.13)

in this manual as reference. To save a lot of time, we recommend getting

ssistance and using a cordless drill to assemble these parts, but make sure

to set the cordless drill at a low torque to prevent stripping the screws.

Assembly guidelines:

1) Start by assembling the cabinet panels, supports and shelves according to

he diagram using the special melamine screws (A) Fig.1.

) Then assemble the door hinges, doors, adjustable feet (make sure cabinet

is level and stable) and the 4” dust port to the cabinet using the small

countersunk head wood screws (B).

3) Assemble the door handles to the doors using the pan head screws (C).

4) Assemble the switch to the right side of the cabinet, to do this, remove the

4 screws which hold the switch cover in place, insert 4 pan head screws (D)

inside the switch box and fix the switch housing to the cabinet using the

hex. nuts (D). Reinstall and secure the switch cover.

5) Install the table top onto the top of cabinet and secure it in place using the

special melamine screws (A).

6) Position the insert plate, table inserts and starter pin onto the table top.

7) Fix the T-slot rails to the table top using the small countersunk head wood

screws (B).

8) Secure the fence to table top using lock knobs and bolts (E) and then install

the subfences.

9) Install the dual position bit guard using the lock knobs and bolts (F), if

desired, install the stop block using the same lock knobs and bolts. Then

install the feather boards using the lock knobs and bolts (G).

10) Install the 2-1/4” dust port to the rear of the fence using a small

countersunk head screw.

Mounting measuring tape on fence

Install the measuring tape (A) Fig.2 on top of the fence (B). The fence

measures 28” long, inscribe a small mark at the midpoint of the fence. Remove

the backing of the measuring tape, align the 14” mark on the measuring tape

with the mark inscribed on the fence and firmly press the measuring tape into

place.

Dust Collection

It is strongly recommended to use your router table with dust collection.

This router table features a standard 2-1/2” dust port typical on most shop

vacuums. Most of these fittings actually measure 2-1/4” (A) Fig. 3 (outside

diameter). It is recommended to use a 2-1/2” hose or larger because it is more

effective at evacuating dust and chips, and provides proper air flow over the

router motor

. Any hose larger or smaller than 2-1/2" requires a suitable after

market adapter which you must provide. If additional dust collection is

needed, a 4” dust port (B) is available at the rear of cabinet for dust collector

hook-up.

Mounting Router to Phenolic Insert Plate

To mount your router to the phenolic insert plate (A) Fig.4, disassemble your

router subplate (contains the mounting holes) and use it as a template. Center

it with the insert plate opening and mark the hole positions on the underneath

of the phenolic insert plate and drill the appropriate sized holes. Keep in mind

the position of the router, it is practical to position the router spindle lock

button towards the front of the cabinet for easy access when changing router

bits is required. It may also be necessary to mount the router at a slight angle

so the router grip handles do not interfere with the table top opening when

lifting up the insert plate with the router attached to it.

Adjusting the Phenolic Insert Plate Flush with the T

able T

To obtain accurate and satisfactory results, the phenolic insert plate (A) Fig.4

must be flush with the table top. Place a straight edge on the table and insert

plate and adjust each set screws (B) in all four corners with a hex. key until the

phenolic insert plate is flush with the table top.

OPERATION

onnecting Router to Power Source and Switch Operation

Once the router is installed to the phenolic insert plate, pass the router power

cord throught the right side opening (A) Fig.5 in the cabinet and connect the

power cord (B) to the 110V outlet on the side of the switch housing (C) as

shown.

Make sure the switch is in the “Off” (down position), connect the switch power

cord to a 110V wall outlet and finally turn the power switch on your router to

he “on” position. To turn your router on, lift the switch (D) upwards. Lower the

switch to turn the router off.

To prevent unauthorized use, the switch comes with a removeable safety key

(E) which can be removed (when in the off position) by pulling on it. Reposition

safety key into switch to continue use.

Adusting and Positioning the Aluminum Fence

Assuming that you are using a straight bit, loosen the fence lock knobs (A)

Fig.6 and move the fence (B) towards the bit. The exposed portion of the bit

becomes the part of the bit which will cut with your workpiece. If using router

bits with bearings, the subfences must be flush with the front edge of the

bearing. Because you are working from a center point, it is often only

necessary to make a pivoting adjustment to one side of the fence. Once the

fence is perfectly positioned, retighten the fence lock knobs (A).

Positioning and Usage of the Dual Position Bit Guard

Pre-assemble the bit guard (A) Fig.7 with the supplied hex bolts and lock

knobs (C). Slide both bolt heads into the fence's front T-slot to attach it to

fence. Line up the bit gaurd with the router bit.

Note: The bit guard is designed for dual positioning. The larger, curved side

(B) Fig.7 is used for general routing with small and medium sized bits. The

smaller angled side (A) is intended for edge jointing and small diameter bits.

Positioning and Usage of the Feather Boards and Work Stop Block

Pre-assemble the feather boards (A) Fig.8 with the supplied hex bolts and lock

knobs (B). Slide both bolt heads into the fence's front T-slot to attach it to

fence. Line up the feather boards on both sides of the bit guard. Feather

boards place downward pressure on your workpiece for safer and better cuts.

Pre-assemble the work stop block (C) Fig.8 with the supplied hex bolts and

lock knobs (D). Slide both bolt heads into the fence's front T-slot to attach it

to fence. Position it on the left outfeed side of the fence.

OPERATION

djusting Subfences

The two MDF subfences (A) Fig.9 are designed to slide 2” along the main

fence, which can produce a router bit opening from 0 to 4”. Once the router bit

is installed and the height adjustment is done, slide the subfences towards the

router bit to close the gap and tighten its rear lock knobs (C) Fig.9. Make sure

the router bit can spin freely before turning on the router.

Using the Jointing Capabilities of the Outfeed Subfence

Jointing is the process of making flat, square and straight edges. Jointing is

necessary when two boards are edge glued to create a larger panel. It is also

used to “fit” pieces together, as well as to trim stock to size.

our fence has built-in jointing slots to accept the two small aluminum shim

bars (A) Fig.10. Installed in pairs behind the outfeed subfence (B), these shim

bars “shim out” the outfeed subfence either 1/32” (2nd and 4th slot) or 5/64”

(1st and 3rd slot). See Fig.11 for an example of a typical application.

Unplug router and install a 1/2” diameter straight or spiral router bit.

Caution: Use only 1/2" shank bits for jointing. The bit's cutting length

must not exceed 1.25". Set the bit height to 1.25" or less.

Loosen the outfeed subfence mounting knobs and slide both shim bars behind

the outfeed subfence.

Use a straight edge to adjust the router bit and outfeed subfence parallel and

then remove straight edge when done. Slide both subfences toward the bit to

decrease the amount of gap around the router bit. Be sure the subfences are

not touching the router bit. Also be sure the router bit is not touching the fence

body. Tighten the subfence knobs and place the bit guard in position. First

make a test cut in scrap stock. Readjust if necessary.

If board “snipe” occurs, realign the outfeed subfence to the router bit. Don't be

surprised if it takes a few tries to master this operation.

Feed Direction

Always feed the workpiece from the right side towards the left side, against the

cutter rotation. Feeding the workpiece with the cutter rotation is called “climb

cutting”. Climb cutting is very dangerous, because the cutter will grab the

workpiece and thrust it the same direction as the cutter rotation. See Fig.12.

Using a Universal Miter Gauge

This router table includes a standard 3/8” x 3/4” T

-slot miter gauge track which

can accomodate miter gauges with or without T-slots (miter gauge not

included).

To adjust the fence perpendicular to your miter gauge, set miter gauge to 90º,

and align the miter gauge to the fence using a square.
