Mounting the router
IMPORTANT: If the router is earthed the Switchbox (5) and any mains extensions used must be
earthed and connected to an earthed power point.
1. Please refer to the specification and check the router you intend to use is compatible
2. Have your original router manual to hand and read before mounting. Make sure mounting won't
restrict changing bits. Check that you still have easy access to the spindle lock button, adjusting
router height and the collet securing nut
3. Ensure the base of the router is completely clean so it will be level with the mounting plate when
fitted
4. If the Router doesn't feature a trigger lock-on feature, use the Router Trigger Clamp (28) and
Router Trigger Clamp Knob (29) to lock the trigger in the on mode (Image B) or lock the trigger
on
5. Insert the four Router Securing Bolts (20) through the Table (1) surface and on the underside fit a
Router Securing Bar (18), Small Washer (8) and Nut (10) to each bolt. Only loosely fit together at
this stage
6. Turn the Table (1) upside down making sure each Router Securing Bolt is still locked in the recess
of the Table to prevent turning and move the Router Securing Bars so they face away from the
centre to allow fitting of the router
7. Carefully lower the router into the central recess of the Table ensuring the router is centred so the
bit is dead centre in the Table opening . This is critical so take time to get this right
8 . Use the Router Securing Bars to secure the base of the router to the underside of the Table
(Image C) then tighten all Nuts. Router bases vary in design and you will need to adapt to
the shape of the base . Check the base is securely gripped and the Router Securing Bar are not
blocking any feature of the base, for example the router's own dust extraction fittings
Note: Once you start using the router table, remember to recheck these fittings after a short amount
of use to make sure they have not loosened . Then make it a regular check in the future . If the router
drops from its mountings it may be damaged or destroyed .
9. Recheck the router is correctly centralised and that you are happy with its position for access to all
its features
10. F inally 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
