I_'WARNINGI Disconnect the router
from the power supply
before installing router into the table,
making adjustments, changing
accessories, removing the router from
the table, performing maintenance,
or storing the tool. Such precautionary
safety measures reduce the risk of
unintentional tool operation.
INSERT RINGS (Fig. 20)
This router table includes three tabletop insert
rings with the following hole sizes:
(11A) 1-in. diameter, for use with bits up to
7/8-in. diameter
(11B) 2-in. diameter, for use with bits larger
than 7/8-in. and up to 17/8-in.diameter
(11C) 23A-in. diameter, for use with bits larger
than 1¼-in. and up to 2%-in. diameter
No insert ring is required for bits with
diameters between 2% in. and 31/2in.
I ,_WARNING I Do not use the router table
with bits over 31/2in. in
diameter. Bits larger than 31/2in. exceed the
clearance hole in the tabletop insert rings.
Bits larger than 31/2in. can contact insert plate
or insert ring, throwing fragments.
These three insert rings are supplied individually
and can be found in one of the storage boxes.
The insert ring should fit into the tabletop hole
completely. Use a fine file or emery board to
remove excess plastic or rough edges that
may cause the insert ring to protrude above
the table surface.
II_WARNING I Do not alter insert ring or
I insert plate bit hole. Match
the cutting diameter of the bit to the inner
diameter of the insert ring or insert plate
bit hole such that the difference is no less
Fig. 20
than 1/16 in. on a side. Insert rings are
meant to reduce the gap between the cutting
diameter of the bit and table so that
workpieces maintain full support of the table
while routing.
TO INSTALL TABLETOP
INSERT RINGS (Fig. 20):
1. Select the insert ring (11A-11C) that best
accommodates the router bit to be used.
2. Press the insert ring (11A-11C) into the
large hole in the plastic insert plate (2).
3. Press down evenly over the tabs until the
insert ring locks into place.
4. To remove, pull up gently until the tabs
disengage. When not in use, store insert
rings (11A-11C) in one of the tool boxes (9)
or a convenient place.
I A WARNINGI Do not use, attempt to
IAUk I change,
or remove
tabletop insert rings from the tabletop
unless the router is off and unplugged.
Such precautionary safety measures reduce
the risk of unintentional tool operation.
