Router Table
Safety Guidelines:
-
Use push blocks to position your hands a safe distance from the bit.
-
Large-diameter bits are for use only in a router table. Using bits over 1 in. dia. in a handheld router can easily cause you to lose control of the tool.
-
Always wear eye and hearing protection.
-
Take light cuts. Heavy cuts invite kickback. If necessary, move the fence closer to the bit or switch to a larger guide bearing.
-
Always feed the stock from right to left.
-
Avoid shaping small stock. Instead, shape a larger piece and reduce it in size afterwards. If you must shape a small piece, build an appropriate jig or secure the work within the jaws of a wooden handscrew clamp.
-
Always use a guard.
-
Never start the router with the bit in contact with the stock.
-
Don’t force the bit or overload the router.
-
Secure the motor in the base before starting the router.
How to Use:
-
Select desired bit, and bit height, then tighten into place.
-
Place piece of wood on table to the right of the router bit, and clamp down with the vertical and horiozontal clamps.
-
Turn the machine on by flipping the red swith up.
-
Begin pushing the wood to the right.
-
Once the wood has gone all the way through, pull the wood out, and turn the machine off by pushing the red switch to the down position.
