Safety Instructions for Large Router Table
Unplug tool before setting up in table,
making adjustments or changing bits.
Accidental start-up of the tool can cause injury.
Fully assemble and tighten all the fasteners
required for this table and mounting the
router. Also remember to occasionally check
the stand and make sure it is still tight. A loose
stand is unstable and may shift in use and
cause serious injury.
Before operating make sure the entire unit is
placed on a solid, flat, level surface. Serious
injury could occur if tool is unstable and tips.
Never stand on the table or use as ladder or
scaffolding. Serious injury could occur if the
table is tipped or the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted. Do not store materials on or near
the table such that it is necessary to stand on
the table or its stand to reach them.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits
must be handled with care. Damaged bits
can snap during use. Dull bits require more
force to push the workpiece, possibly causing
the bit to break.
Match the appropriate bit and its speed to
your application. Do not use bits that have a
cutting diameter that exceeds the capacity
of the tool. Overloading the tool can lead to
personal injury or tool failure.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged
in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the
workpiece.
Router bits are intended for wood, wood
products and plastic only. Be sure the
workpiece does not contain nails, etc. before
routing. Cutting a nail or the like can cause the
carbides to be dislodged, fly toward the operator
side, and possibly strike you or bystanders.
Feed the workpiece against the rotation of
the bit. The bit rotates counter-clockwise as
viewed from the top of table. Feeding the
work in the wrong direction will cause the
workpiece to "climb" up on the bit and may lead
to loss of control during operation.

Never place hands near the spinning bit.
Use push sticks, vertical and horizontally
mounted feather boards (spring sticks) and
other jigs to hold down the workpiece and
keep your hands away from the spinning
blade. Router cuts are blind cuts but the bit still
protrudes through the table and you must be
aware of the position of your hands relative to
the spinning bit.
We do not recommend cutting material that
is warped, wobbly or otherwise unstable. If
this situation is unavoidable, always cut the
material with the concave side against the
table. Cutting the material with the concave
side up or away from table may cause the
warped or wobbly material to roll; causing you
to lose control, kickback and serious personal
injury may result.
Use the adjustable fence in straight cutting
applications. When routing along an entire
edge of the work, the fence, fence faces, and
outfeed support shims will help maintain
stability.
When the table is used without the fence,
piloted bits (or "bearing bits") must be used.
Piloted bits are used when routing internal and
external contours on a workpiece. The bearing
of the piloted bit assists in maintaining control of
the workpiece. Whenever possible, the starter
pin should also be used.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment devices can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,
loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. Contact with a spinning bit will
cause injury and after use the bit is too hot to be
touched by bare hands.
Use only Bosch replacement parts. Any
others may create a hazard.
