when using your router table for long periods of time.
3. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along
with safety goggles.
4. Follow the instructions in your router owner's manual.
5.L_'WARNINGJ Vibrations, caused by the router
during use, can cause fasteners to become loose.
Before use and periodically during use, check all
fasteners to make sure that all are tight and secure.
6. Do not use this product until all assembly and instal-
lation steps have been completed. Make sure you have
read and understood all safety and
operational instructions in this manual and the
router owner's manual.
7. Make sure that the router bit is properly positioned
and clamped in the router before making any cuts.
8. Do not use the router table as a workbench or work
surface. Doing so may damage it, causing it
to be unsafe to use. A workbench should be used
for this purpose.
9. This product is designed for cutting flat workpieces.
Do not cut or attempt to cut workpieces that are not
flat.
10. This product is designed for cutting wood
workpieces only. Do not use to cut metal or other non-
wood materials.
11. The use of auxiliary in-feed and out-feed
supports is strongly recommended when routing long
workpieces. Otherwise those workpieces can cause
the router table to tip over.
12. Keep hands clear of the router bits and working
area.
13. Make and use a push stick to move small
workpieces across the cutting area.
14. Clean the router after use. The use of a wet/dry vac
or vacuum equipment is recommended.
15. Always make sure that work surface of the router
table is clean and free from dust, chips, and foreign
particles that can interfere with the cut you are
going to make. The use of a wet/dry vac or vacuum
equipment is recommended.
16. Check the function of the guard before each use.
Remove all dust, chips, and any other foreign parti-
cles that can affect its function.
17. '_WARNINGI Never put your fingers under the
overhead guard when the router is plugged into an
electrical outlet or when the router bit is rotating.
18. Always use the fence to guide the workpiece.
19. Always feed the workpiece AGAINST the rotation
of the cutter or router bit.
20. Router bits are extremely sharp; be extra careful
when handling and using them.
21. Make sure that the router bits being used are sharp
or have been properly resharpened. This will permit
fast, efficient, and SAFE routing.
22. Some routers, when positioned in an upside down
position (such as on a router table), will drop
or fall out of the router base when the base clamp is
loosened to adjust height or depth of cut. Therefore, it
is extremely important to support the router from
below when making these adjustments or whenever
the base clamp is loosened.
23. Always look under the router table at the router

back for the attachment of the hose from a wet/dry vac
The port will accommodate a 2-1/2" diameter hose
nozzle.
To attach, push the nozzle into the port while holding
the fence in place.
_CAUTIONI Operating the router table without
the use of a wet/dry vac may result in an excessive col-
lection of saw dust and chips under the fence assembly
and the overhead guard. This can hinder the perform-
ance of the router table and the fence assembly.
I_WARNINGI When doing the above, keep
the following in mind:
•The router table must be turned OFF.
•The router bit must not be turning.
•The router power cord must be unplugged from
the outlet.

GENERAL
The power switch box is designed to be used with
most Craftsman router tables. It provides the conven-
ience of an "ON-OFF" switch box at the front
of the table, thus eliminating the need to reach
underneath the table to turn the router "ON" and
"OFF".
The power switch box also provides an optional
simultaneous "ON-OFF" control of an additional
accessory, such as a light, vacuum, etc. The switch
box incorporates an internal, resettable circuit
breaker to provide protection in overload situations.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing provides the path of least resistance for electric
current in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This switch box is equipped with an electric cord
that has an equipment grounding connector and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and ground-
ed 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 risk of an electric shock. The
conductor with insulation that has a green outer sur-
face, 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 person
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if there is doubt as to whether the
switch box is properly grounded.
Use only 14 gauge, or larger, three-wire extension
cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and
three-hole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
The electrical outlet on the back of the switch box
will accept either a two-prong plug from a DOUBLE
INSULATED router or accessory, or a three-prong
grounding type plug.
This switch box is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet, as illustrated in FIGURE A. The switch
box has a grounding plug, as illustrated in FIGURE A.
If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a tem-
porary adapter, as illustrated in FIGURE B, may be
used to connect this plug to a two-hole receptacle, as
shown in FIGURE C.
FIGURE A FIGURE B FIGURE C
Cover of Adapter
Grounded
Outlet Box_
_Grounding Grounding
Pin Means
Cover of
Grounded
Outlet Box
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear or
lug extending from the adapter must be connected to
a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
I_WARNING] Do not permit fingers to touch
terminals of the plug when installing or removing
from the outlet. If not properly grounded, this power
tool can present the potential hazard of electrical
shock, which can possibly result in death, particularly
when used in a damp location, in proximity to plumb-
ing or out of doors. If an electrical shock occurs, there
is always the potential of a secondary hazard, such
as your hands contacting the router bit.
I,_WARNING Use the switch box only when
properly assembled to the router table. Use only with
a router which has also been properly installed on a
properly assembled router table.
SWITCH BOX OPERATION
This section explains the operation and features of
the switch box prior to plugging the power cord into
an electrical outlet. The intent is to familiarize the
user with the switch box operation without actually
turning on the router.
12
The switch box incorporates two positive features to
prevent inadvertent switching on of the router and the
unauthorized, and possibly hazardous, use by others.
Inadvertent switching on of the router is prevented by
the clear plastic switch box cover. The cover must be
raised and the switch box manually toggled to the "ON"
position to start the router. Also, the safety key can
be removed to disable the switch box by "locking" the
switch box in the "OFF" position, thus preventing
unauthorized and possible hazardous use.
The switch box can be turned "OFF" by pressing the
switch box cover with the hand.
FIGURE 23
/
Switch Box /
S
To operate the switch box, proceed as follows:
t I Because the switch box also
I
NOTE
functions as a circuit breaker, the "ON" position is
labeled RESET on the switch box. For clarity this
instruction uses "ON" in place of RESET.
1. Insert the safety key into switch box.
See FIGURE 23.
2. To turn router "ON", insert finger under switch box
cover and toggle switch box to "ON" position.
3. To turn router to "OFF", press switch box cover.
NEVER leave router UNATTENDED until it has come
to A COMPLETE STOP.
4. To lock switch box to "OFF" position, remove safety
key from switch box.
With the safety key removed from the switch box, the
switch box cannot be toggled to the "ON" position.
INOTE I9-26462 Replacement safety keys
are available at your local Sear Retail Store.
I,_wARNING] Before proceeding any further,
make sure the switch on the router is in the"OFF"
position and the switch box lever is in the "OFF"
position.
The switch box power cord can now be plugged into
an extension cord.
ROUTER AND SWITCH BOX OPERATIONS
This section explains operation of the switch box with
the power cord plugged into an electrical outlet.
The router will turn "ON" when the switch box is
toggled to the "ON" (or "RESET") position.
1. Position the "ON-OFF" switch on the router in the
"ON" position. On certain routers this will require the
use of the switch trigger and "Lock-On" button. (Consult
router owner's manual.) Make sure the switch box
lever is in the "OFF" position when doing this.
2. To turn the router "ON", slide finger under the
switch box cover and toggle the switch box to the
"ON" position, as described in the previous section.
3. To turn the router "OFF", press the switch box cover,
as described in the previous section.
o
INOTE I In the event of an overload situa-
]
tion, the internal switch box circuit breaker may trip
and toggle the switch box to the "OFF" position. This
will interrupt the power to the router and/or vacuum.
If this occurs please do the following:
1. Unplug the switch box cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Clear the workpiece from the router table.
3. Correct the cause of the overload situation
(i.e., the removal of too much stock or use of too high
a feed rate).
4. Plug the switch box power cord into the electrical
outlet.
5. Restart the router as described in the section,
Router and Switch Box Operations.
PI
[_tLWARNING] For your own SAFETY and the
SAFETY OF OTHERS, do the following when the
router table is not in use:
1. Toggle the switch box lever to the "OFF" position
and remove the safety key.
2. Turn the router off.
3. Unplug the switch box power cord from the
electrical outlet.
4. Remove the router bit from the router.
5. Make sure the router collet assembly is below
the top of the router table.
6. Store the switch box safety key in a safe
location where it is not available to children or
other unauthorized persons.

UNPLUG the router for these adjustments. Rotate the
overhead guard upward in order to have full access to
the router bit for making adjustments. Select a board
that is smooth with edges true to each other and its
surfaces. Other recommendations are the following:
1. Mark lines "A" and "B" on the end of this board. Line
"A" indicates the desired depth of cut (amount of mate-
rial you want to remove) and line "B" indicates the
desired cutting height. See Figure 25.
2. Position the board against the face of the router
table unitized fence with the edge resting on the table-
top and the end marked with lines "A" and "B" close to
the bit. See Figure 25. (MAKE SURE THE ROUTER

ROUTING USING FENCE WlTHOUTTHE PUSH
BLOCK
Using Fence as a Jointer (Full Edge Cutting)
For maximum strength and accuracy, boards to be
joined together should be smooth and true. The edges
should be true to the work piece surface. You can true
the edges on your router table using a straight bit.
1. Check to see if the face of the adjustable jointing
fence is flush with the face of the router table fence.
If not, loosen the jointing fence clamping knob on the
jointing fence and push jointing fence in until it is flush
with the router table fence. Tighten the knob on the
jointing fence.
INOTE I The jointing fence provides a con-
m
tinuous support for the workpiece as it is fed beyond
the router bit. The adjustable jointing fence compen-
sates for the gap created from the removal of material
by the router bit. See Figures 26 and 27.
2. Adjust the depth of cut (the material you want to
remove) and router bit height as described in the
14
section ADJUSTING DEPTH AND HEIGHT OFTHE
CUT. Tightly secure the fence assembly and the router
as described before. (MAKE SURE ROUTER IS
UNPLUGGED WHEN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.)
3. LOWER THE OVERHEAD GUARD to the operating
position. (Overhead guard shown raised for reasons
of clarity.)
4. Check you adjustments by turning the router "ON"
using the switch, and feed a piece of scrap wood a few
inches beyond the router bit. Then stop and turn the
router "OFF" using the switch.

When routing, always feed AGAINST the rotation of
the cutter. Feed work piece in the direction of the
arrow in Figure 32.
For maximum accuracy, one edge of your work piece
(edge sliding against fence) must be true and straight.
Set up your fence as follows:
1. Position the fence behind the router bit for the
desired cutting depth (the distance of the cut from the
edge of the work piece, as shown in Figure 31). Make
sure the overhead guard is in place.
2. SECURELY TIGHTEN both fence clamping knobs.
3. Make the cut by sliding the straight edge of the
work piece against the fence, as shown in Figure 32.
(For each successive cut, the fence will need to be
adjusted.)
II Test cut a scrap piece of wood

[,_WARNING] End cutting is performed with the
overhead guard rotated back so that it does not cover
the router bit. Therefore, EXTREME CARE must be
taken when end cutting so that fingers, hands, or any
other parts of your body DO NOT contact the bit, which
could result in serious bodily injury.
When routing on the ends of a work piece for making
tenons, sliding dovetails, and tongue and groove joints,
the work piece must be made smooth with both the
edges and the ends made true to each other and its
surfaces. All surfaces must be square, or at 9000with
each other.

Cutting Tenons
1. Make certain that the adjustable fence is locked
in position with its face flush with the front face of the
fence.
2. Mount the push block assembly on the fence, as
described in the section PUSH BLOCK ASSEMBLY
TO THE ROUTER TABLE UNITIZED FENCE.
3. Install the proper table top insert into the table top
hole.
4. Mark line "A" and "B" on the edge of the work piece
closest to the end to be cut. Line "A" is the FULL
DEPTH OF CUT (total amount of material you want to
remove) and line "B" is the FULL DESIRED HEIGHT
OF THE TENON• See Figure 33.
5. Position the work piece between the clamp plate
and the push block so that its side is held flush against
the face of the fence. The end to be cut is resting on
the edge of the router table insert hole, and the surface
marked with lines "A" and "B" is facing the router bit.
Clamp the work piece in this position by snugly tighten-
ing the wing nut on the clamp rod, making sure that
the clamp plate stays oriented on the work piece as
shown in Figure 33. MAKE SURE THE ROUTER IS
UNPLUGGED WHEN POSITIONING AND CLAMP-
ING THE WORK PIECE AND MAKING ADJUST-
MENTS.
I
I NOTE [ Tighten the wing nut just enough to
E
clamp the work piece in position. OVERTIGHTENING
the wing nut could cause binding in the sliding motion
of the push block, which in turn could result in varia-
tions and/or steps in the finished tenon surface when
cut.
6. Slide work piece up next to the router bit and adjust
the fence and the router, as described in the section,
ADJUSTING DEPTH AND HEIGHT OF CUT. The
outer most cutting edge of the bit should be aligned
with line "A", and the top cutting edge of the bit should
be aligned with line "B". Tightly secure the fence and
the router.
7. Slide the push block with the work piece clamped,
back away from the bit.
8. Turn router "ON" using the switch. Holding the push
block and work piece against the fence WITH BOTH
HANDS AND FINGERS A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY
FROM THE SPINNING BIT, feed the work piece
across the bit, making a full depth of cut in one pass.
(DO NOT STOP FEEDING THE WORK PIECE UNTIL
IT HAS COMPLETELY PASSED ACROSS THE
ROUTER BIT) (Ref• Figure 34)
