Read and understand the tool manual and these instructions for the
use of this table with your router. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in serious personal injury.
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user. Improper grounding can shock, burn,
or electrocute. Grounded tools are equipped with three-
conductor cord and three-prong type plugs. Before plugging
in the tool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the nameplate. Do not use "AC only"
rated tools with a DC power supply.
Double-insulated tools are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
Insulation
eliminates the need for the three-wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Before plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet voltage
supplied is within the voltage marked on the nameplate.
Do not use "AC only" rated tools with a DC power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. If
operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply the
power to your tool. Electrician's rubber gloves and footwear
will further enhance your personal safety.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A" or "W." These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Refer to "Important Information About Extension Cords" in
your router table manual.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Keep guards in place. Maintain the guards in working order
and in proper adjustment and alignment.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is "OFF"
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch "ON"
invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool "ON." A wrench or a key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety goggles (head protection). Wear safety
goggles (must comply with ANSI Standard Z87.1) at all
times. Wear non-slip footwear and a hard hat, if appropriate.
Also, use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty
and ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods
of operation.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
