GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides apath

of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric

shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into

a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with

all local codes and ordinances.

• Do not modify the plug provided =if it will not fit the outlet, have the

proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result

in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer

surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding

conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do

not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether

the tool is properly grounded.

• Use only 3=wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs

and 3=pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

• Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

Page 6 37610 Manual_Revised_12 1221

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like

the one illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug

that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter,

which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to

connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly

grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only

until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The

green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be

connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Keep guards in place and in working order.

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit of checking to see

that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning

it on.

• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

Don't use in dangerous environments. Don't use power tools in damp or

wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lighted.

= Keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the

work area.

= Make the workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches, or by

removing starter keys.

= Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for

which it was designed.

37610 Manual_Revised_12 1221 Page 7

• Use the right tool. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it

was not designed.

Use a proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good

condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough

to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause

a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1

shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage

number, the heavier the cord.

= Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip

footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

•Always use safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting

operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;

they are not safety glasses.

= Secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work whenever practical.

It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

=Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and

safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and

changing accessories.

=Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing accessories,

such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

= Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure that the switch is in

the off position before plugging in.

= Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner's manual for

recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause a

risk of injury to persons.

= Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if

the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

Page 8 37610 Manual_Revised_12 1221

,, Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will

operate properly and perform its intended function - check for alignment

of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and

any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that

is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

• Direction of feed: feed work into a blade or cutter only against the direction

of rotation of the blade or cutter.

Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn the power off. Don't leave

the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

LiNE UP THE IN-FEED AND OUT=FEED FENCE

AWARNING: Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental starting

causing serious injury.

If the in-feed and out-feed fences are not in alignment when the red indicator

lines are aligned with the red lines on the micro-adjustment knobs; align the in-

feed and out-feed fences as follows:

1. Set the twin fence micro-

adjustment knobs to align the

red lines on the knobs with

the red indicator lines and

lock them in place (Fig. 26a).

2. Place a straight edge guide (not

supplied) against the out-feed

and in-feed fences (Fig. 26b).

3. If the in-feed or out-feed

doesn't rest against the

straight edge guide, perform

Steps 4 through 7.

4. Loosen the six locking bolts

with the wrench (supplied) (the

bolts are at the bottom of the

fences as you face the micro-

adjustment knobs) (Fig. 26c)

5. Adjust the fences until they

both rest against the straight

edge guide.

USING THE Fig. 27

FEATHE RBOARDS (Fig. 27)

WARNING: Failure to unplug

your router before performing

adjustments to the router or table

could result in accidental starting

causing serious injury.

Feather boards are helpful in

controlling the workpiece while

routing and assist in keeping the

workpiece flat on the table. The

tabletop feather board, combined

with the fence feather board, help to keep the workpiece pressed against the

fence and tabletop. The best location for the feather boards varies according to

your application, workpiece size, and other factors.

1. Loosely install the feather board(s) as described in the ATTACH THE

FEATHER BOARDS section.

2. Place the workpiece on the router table so that it is squarely against the fence.

3. Position both feather boards snugly against the workpiece and tighten all

the locking knobs.

4. The workpiece should move with some resistance but without requiring a

great effort.

5. For wider workpieces, the tabletop feather board cannot be used.

ADJUSTING THE MITER

GAUGE (Fig. 28)

1. Loosen the miter gauge knob.

2. Rotate the miter gauge to the

desired angle.

3. Tighten the miter gauge knob.

NOTICE: Make sure that the fence

and the table slot are parallel

when using the miter gauge.

the router collet up or down.

4. When the desired cutting

height is set, tighten the

clamping lever on the router.

USING THE ROUTER WITH THE ROUTER TABLE

1. Read and understand the entire Operator's Manual for the router.

2. Always plug the router into the switched outlet in the router table. Never

plug a router table mounted router into another power source.

3. Make sure that the router-table switch is off.

4. Plug the router-table cord into a power source.

5. Turn on the power to the router table by lifting up the on/off switch panel.

6. Always control the power to the router with the router-table switch

whenever the router is mounted on the table.

ROUTING OPERATION

1. Read and understand the entire Operator's Manual for the router.

2. Adjust the fence to support the workpiece to be cut.

NOTICE: The workpiece must always be held tight against the fence.

3. Reconfirm that all router adjustments are securely locked before supplying

power to the router.

4. Note that the direction of rotation of the router mounted to a router table is

counterclockwise. Feed the workpiece from right to left.
