CLEAR BIT GUARD
ASSEMBLE VERTICAL FEATHERBOARD
AND GUARD SYSTEM
This system makes it easy to correctly position
the clear bit guard and the vertical featherboard,
which helps keep the workpiece pressed
against the table and reduces the possibility and
intensity of kickback.
This system is especially beneficial when
routing small pieces. Following figures 15 & 16,
assemble the vertical featherboard and guard
system. Note in particular the orientation of
featherboard and the knurled steel knobs. The
"feathers" should point in the feed direction.
(The two featherboards are the same and either
one can be used as the vertical featherboard.)
VACUUM PORT
To minimize the amount of debris and dust in
the work area, always connect a vacuum
cleaner to the router table. The vacuum port
opening is sized to connect to standard 2-1/2"
vacuum hoses.
Orient the vacuum port such that the internal
positioning ribs are on the top and sides and the
warning is on the top. Attach vacuum port using
the two 10-24 screws. Insert the end of the hose
into the port. (Fig. 17)
