9. Recheck the router is correctly centralised and that you are happy with its
position for access to all its features
10. Finally connect the power cable of the router to the Mains Socket (48) but
make sure at this point the Switchbox is not connected to a mains supply
Fence & Guard
1. Attach the Adjustable Fence (24) to the Fence & Guard Assembly (2) using a
Knob (12), Large Washer (16) and Short Bolt (31)
2. Attach the Guard (21) to the Fence & Guard Assembly using Guard Screw
(23), Small Washer (8) and the Guard Spring (22). See image D for how the
spring attaches. Take time to make sure the Guard moves smoothly as it is an
important safety feature
3. Attach 2 of the Featherboards (30) to the Fence & Guard Assembly to be used
as vertical Featherboards using Featherboard Coach Bolts (13), Large Washers
(16) and Featherboard Wing Nuts (15)
4. Attach the assembled Fence & Guard Assembly to the Table using two Bolts
(19), Large Washers (7) and Fence Knobs (17). Use the two Table Scales (33)
to mount in a level position
Bench mounting
It is important the Router Table is securely mounted especially when working with
long workpieces. The Router Table can be secured to a workbench or a dedicated
work stand. Alternatively the table can be attached to a piece of wood which can
then be clamped to another work surface when needed which allows for easy
removal. It is not designed to be used without being attached to another surface.
• Use screws or bolts (not supplied) through the Bench Mounting Holes (46) to
secure the Table (1)
Assembling the Protractor
• Assemble the Protractor using the Protractor Body (26), Protractor Guide Bar
(25), Protractor Knob (27) and a Large Washer (16). The guide bar fits over the
pin (arrowed in Image A) and the Protractor Knob secures the assembly
Connecting dust extraction
IMPORTANT: Dust from certain materials and surface coatings can be toxic. Use a
dust extraction system or vacuum whenever possible.
• If possible create a dual extraction system using both the Dust Extraction Port
(55) of the Table for extraction above the Table and use the dust extraction
port of your router which will operate below the Table. This is the ideal solution
however using just the Dust Extraction Port (55) of the router table will be
sufficient. When using just the table's own dust extraction port the correct
size of Table Insert becomes more important which will keep more dust and
chippings on top for easy extraction
• In the absence of dust extraction work for short periods only and clean the
table frequently. This is not recommended
Configuring the router
For setting up your router refer to your router manual. Once setup fit the correct
size Table Insert (6) to match the size of router bit fitted. Place over the router bit
and turn to lock in position. Ensure there is a small gap around the edge of the
router bit blade so the blade and Table Insert can never touch either in use or when
changing bits
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing
protection, as well as suitable non-fabric gloves, when working with this tool.
Switchbox operation
IMPORTANT: The switchbox requires a live mains connection to switch ON. It will
reset to OFF as soon as power is disconnected and require resetting to ON when
power is restored to continue operation.
Switching on and off
The Switchbox (5) controls power to the router bypassing the normal router on/off
button which is set permanently on.
1. Connect the Switchbox lead to a wall socket and switch on
2. Switch the router on by pressing the On Button (49) 'I'
3. Switch off the router by pressing the Off Button (50) 'O'

User position and feed direction
• The main user position is defined by the location of the Switchbox (5)
• ALWAYS remain positioned in close proximity to the switch, so the machine
can be instantly switched off in the case of emergency
• Feed workpieces from this position in the direction indicated by the arrows
on the table which is feed from the right side of the table (input) to the left
side (output)
Using the router table
As with most woodworking accurate measurement and pre-cut setup is critical to
getting the right results. This manual is only a basic guide to operation. For best
results seek further training or reading material. It is recommended to use scrap
material while getting used to operating this table.
• Wear eye protection
• Check router fittings and collet nut is tight before use
• Feed workpiece against rotation of cutter. Feed direction is shown by on
the fence and featherboards
• With your hands not awkwardly positioned hold the workpiece securely
• Keep fingers away from the revolving cutter. Use the featherboards when
possible
• Both the Vertical Featherboards (43) and Horizontal Featherboard (59) are
used to apply light pressure to the workpiece to hold it more securely as it
is cut. To adjust the height of the Vertical Featherboards loosen the Vertical
Featherboard Wingnuts (56) and reposition the height then retighten. For
the Horizontal Featherboard loosen the Horizontal Featherboard Knob (58)
adjust and re-tighten
• Use the Protractor (39) fitted to the Protractor Channel (45) to present angled
workpieces to the cutting point. To adjust the Protractor angle loosen the
Protractor Knob (42) and use the Protractor Angle Scale (41). Remove the
Horizontal Featherboard if necessary
• For some cuts the Adjustable Fence (32) is used. This allows workpieces
which have been cut into a shorter width to be supported after the cut. This
is an often used function especially for making joints. To alter the Adjustable
Fence position, loosen the Adjustable Fence Knob (51) and adjust the position
using the Adjustable Fence Scale (52) and Adjustable Fence Indicator (53).
Typical use would be to make a small first cut with scrap material and then
align the Adjustable Fence with the scrap wood before then making the
required cut on another workpiece
• To alter the Main Fence (44) position loosen the two Main Fence Knobs (54)
and adjust its position using the Table Scales (33) then retighten the Main
Fence Knobs
• Other adjustments are made using your router including cutter height. Refer
to your router manual
