IMPORTANT NOTICE!

Modification Required for Mounting Your Router

The universal mounting plate that is included with the Model T31636 does not have pre-drilled mounting

holes to hold your router. This is because different brands of routers have different base mounting hole

configurations.

To properly use this router table, you will have to drill holes in the mounting plate that match the base

mounting hole configuration of your router. This procedure will require a drill, the correct size drill bits,

and possibly additional fasteners for mounting the router.

Before beginning any modification to the mounting plate, read the entire SETUP section in this manual to

make sure the person making the modification is capable of performing the required tasks, and to make

sure that your router is firmly secured to the router mounting plate.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS.

You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching

live electrical components or improperly grounded

machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified

service personnel to do electrical installation or

repair work, and always disconnect power before

accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.

Always discon-

nect machine from power supply BEFORE mak-

ing adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing

machine. This prevents an injury risk from unin-

tended startup or contact with live electrical com-

ponents.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved

safety glasses or a face shield when operating or

observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye

injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper-

ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.

Only allow trained/supervised people to use this

machine. When machine is not being used, dis-

connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out

machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially

around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use

machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have

poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas

greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental

alertness is required for safe operation of machin-

ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or

alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction

Manual Before Operating This Machine

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.

This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of impor-

tance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that

safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper

accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgment.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert

against unsafe practices.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

WILL result in death or serious injury.

Alerts the user to useful information about proper operation of the

machine to avoid machine damage.

NOTICE

Safety Instructions for Machinery

SECTION 1: SAFETY

Model T31636 (Mfd. Since 02/20)

-7-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become

entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or

cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce

risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally

contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery

operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or

long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust

hazards associated with each workpiece mate-

rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to

reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear-

ing protection when operating or observing loud

machinery. Extended exposure to this noise

without hearing protection can cause permanent

hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on

machinery can become dangerous projectiles

upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,

or any other tools on machine. Always verify

removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use

this tool for its intended purpose—do not force

it or an attachment to do a job for which it was

not designed. Never make unapproved modifica-

tions—modifying tool or using it differently than

intended may result in malfunction or mechanical

failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times when operating machine.

Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions

that make workpiece control difficult or increase

the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and

bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.

Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce

accidental contact with moving parts or flying

debris. Make sure they are properly installed,

undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE

operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.

It will do the job safer and better at the rate for

which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury

may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting

tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur-

ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or

loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is

stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec-

ommended accessories. Using improper acces-

sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the

risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and

ensure all moving parts completely stop before

walking away. Never leave machine running

while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance

instructions and lubrication schedules to keep

machine in good working condition. A machine

that is improperly maintained could malfunction,

leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine

for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or

any condition that could affect safe operation.

Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating

machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate

machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect-

ing cord-connected machines from power, grab

and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord

may damage the wires inside. Do not handle

cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by

keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic

areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time

you experience difficulties performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our

Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Router Tables

Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with spinning bit.

Improperly secured bits or spindle parts/fasteners can fly off and strike nearby operators

or bystanders with great force. Flying dust or debris from cutting operation can cause eye

injuries or blindness. To minimize risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone operating router MUST

completely heed hazards and warnings below.

CUTTING SUPPORT. NEVER cut workpiece

without using a fence, jig, or miter gauge as a

support guide. Otherwise, workpiece could be

aggressively pulled from your hands, drawing

them into spinning bit.

WORKPIECE SIZING. NEVER use workpiece

shorter than 6" without special fixtures or jigs.

Otherwise, workpiece can become trapped

between fence and router bit, which could draw

your hands into spinning bit.

USING SAFETY GUARDS. To prevent ampu-

tation or other injuries, always use a guard.

Fabricate additional guards or jigs for special

circumstances. Use an overhead guard if fence

is removed.

TRIPPING HAZARD. To prevent tripping over

power cord of router when not in use, always dis-

connect it and safely store it out of way.

APPROPRIATE WORKPIECES. Danger of kick-

back and injury is increased when workpiece

has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it. Warped

stock should be flattened with a jointer before you

shape it with router.

TESTING ROTATION. With router disconnected

from power, rotate router spindle to test any new

setup to ensure proper bit clearance before start-

ing router.

INSTALLING ROUTER BIT. Insert at least

⁄4 of

bit shank into collet, and allow

⁄8" of clearance

between shank and bottom of collet to ensure bit

is securely installed.

AVOIDING AMPUTATION. To avoid making con-

tact with spinning router bit, never place hands

directly over or in front of bit. As one hand

approaches bit, move it away and over to other

side. Always keep hands at least 6" away from

spinning bit.

SECURING LEVERS AND KNOBS. Never oper-

ate router table without first making sure all lock

levers and knobs are tight, and all fence hardware

and guide rails are secure. Otherwise, workpiece

can slip out of alignment while cutting and cause

injury from kickback.

DO NOT FORCE WORKPIECE. Never force

materials past router. Let router bit do the work.

Excessive force is likely to result in poor cutting

results or kickback that could cause serious per-

sonal injury.

BLIND CUTTING. Keep router bit on underside

of workpiece when making blind cuts. This will

decrease risk of accidental contact with spinning

bit.

ROUTER BIT ROTATION. Always feed workpiece

against rotation direction of bit. Otherwise,

workpiece could be aggressively pulled from your

hands, drawing them into spinning bit.

ROUTER BIT HEIGHT. Keep any unused portion

of bit below the table surface to minimize risk of

your hand contacting spinning bit.

ROUTER BIT SPEED. Do not exceed rated

speed of any router bit. Doing so can cause bit to

fracture or explode and cause injury.

The router mounting plate included with the router

table is designed to attach to the bottom of your

router in the same manner as the router base.

IMPORTANT: When deciding how to orient the

router in relation to the router table, take into

account access to the router controls, such as

depth adjustment knobs, lock levers/knobs, and

the power switch.

To reduce risk of injury from accidental con-

tact with spinning router bit, ALWAYS make

sure router table is placed on a flat, clean

surface and feet are adjusted before router

operations.

7. Turn mounting plate upside down, and center

router base on plate so marks locating front

of each match (see Figure 28).

Use mounting holes in router base as a tem-

plate to mark locations for drilling holes in

mounting plate (see Figure 28).

Note: There are multiple circles in underside

of the mounting plate to aid in centering

router base as a template.

Remove router base from mounting plate,

drill matching hole sizes in mounting plate for

fasteners.

Remove router base from router (see

Figure 27).

To install router:

DISCONNECT ROUTER FROM POWER!

2. Insert mounting plate into the router table so

that the starting pin holes are to the right of

the opening, as shown in Figure 25.

Note: Starting pin must be installed to feed

into cutter rotation for free-hand routing.

Turn router upside down and position it so

front of router faces same direction as front

of router table.

5. Mark base and router to guide you when

mounting router so that it will correctly face

front of router table (see Figure 26).

Figure 30. Dust hose attached to dust port.

Dust Collection

To connect dust collection system to machine:

Fit 2

⁄2" dust hose over the dust chute, as

shown in Figure 30, or remove dust chute

and attach a 1

⁄2" dust hose or vacuum.

Secure in place with a hose clamp.

Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 150 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with

the rating of the dust collector. To determine the

CFM at the dust port, you must consider these

variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,

(2) hose type and length between the dust col-

lector and the machine, (3) number of branches

or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines

throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-

culate these variables is beyond the scope of

this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a

good dust collection "how-to" book.

This machine creates a lot of wood chips/

dust during operation. Breathing airborne

dust on a regular basis can result in perma-

nent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk

by wearing a respirator and capturing the

dust with a dust-collection system.

2. Tug the hose to make sure it does not come

off.

Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper

performance.

If router unexpectedly moves or router bit

contacts plate insert or fence during opera-

tion, serious personal injury could result

from the router bit or flying debris. ALWAYS

make sure router is firmly secured to rout-

er table mounting plate before beginning

operations.

11. Position plate on top of router base and

router, so marks made on all three face you

(see Figure 29).

12.

Align mounting holes in base, plate, and

router, fasten mounting plate to router

through base (see Figure 29), then insert

assembly into router table from top.

Figure 29. Example of a router attached to

mounting plate.

10.

Countersink drilled holes in top of mount-

ing plate so fastener heads will be slightly

below top surface of plate. This will pre-

vent workpiece catching on fasteners during

operation.
