Starting Pin
The starting pin included with your router table is useful when routing curves. It supports the edge of your work piece and allows you
to gently ease your work into the router bit. It should only be used with router bits that have a guide bearing.
Start with your work piece touching the starting pin, but not in contact with the router bit. Ease the material into the cutter and make
contact with the bit guide bearing. Always feed the workpiece so the router bit rotates against (not with) the feed direction. With the
work piece in solid contact with the guide bearing, you can ease off of the starting pin and allow the work piece to glide along the
guide bearing.
T-Slots
The fence extrusion features two T-slots, one on the top and one on the front face. Use T-bolts to attach feather boards and stops.
Center-Reading Tape Rule
Center the fence on the router bit and use the tape rule to position stops for routing stopped cuts or slots.
Fast-Action Fence Clamps
The cam-and-anchor fence clamps quickly secure and release the fence with the fl ip of a lever.
Stop
The T-slot on the top edge of the fence accepts the Kreg PRS7850 Precision Router Table Stop that fl ips out of the way when not in use.
Featherboards
The T-slot on the front face of the fence accepts Kreg True-FLEX Featherboards, PRS3010 (single pack) or PRS3020 (twin pack).
Switch
Add safety and convenience to your router table with this handy switch. Holes in the mounting fl ange of the Kreg PRS7850 Multi-
Purpose Router Table Switch mate with holes in the router table stand for easy installation. Two receptacles allow control of two

· Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
· WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
· Woodworking machines are dangerous, and can cause personal injury if not used properly.
· Completely read the operating manual and safety instructions for the machine before use.
Learn the applications and limitations of the machine as well as the hazards specifi c to it.
Operating the machine before understanding safe and proper use could result in serious
personal injury.
· Keep all guards and safety devices properly installed while using the machine.
· Always wear safety glasses.
· Keep hands well away from the rotating bit when operating the machine. Never overreach.
· Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause contact with the rotating bit.
· Avoid kickbacks. Kickbacks occur when the workpiece binds while being routed, causing it to
twist, jump, and possibly become airborne. To avoid kick backs and potential injury, always
follow proper technique, use sharp bits, keep the machine aligned and maintained properly,
and adequately secure and support the workpiece. To free both hands for tool operation, use
clamps or a vise to hold work when it is practical and safe.
· Turn off the machine before making adjustments. Never adjust the fence, plate, reducing rings,
or any other part of the machine while it is running.
· Make sure the machine comes to a complete stop before adjusting the position of a workpiece.
· Ground electric machines. If the machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should only be
plugged into a grounded three-hole electrical outlet. If the proper outlet is not available, have one
installed by a qualifi ed electrician. Never remove the third prong or modify the provided plug in
any way.
· Do not operate the machine in a dangerous or unclean environment. Do not use the machine in
damp or wet locations, or expose it to rain. Keep the work area well-lit, un-cluttered, and clean.
· Keep all children and visitors at a safe distance from the work area. Children and visitors should
not operate machinery under any condition.

Safety Guidelines
· Make your workshop "child-proof". Use padlocks, master switches, or other means necessary
to prevent unauthorized use of machinery.
· Use the right machine for the task. Never "force" a machine to do work for which it was not
intended. If used properly under safe conditions, the machine will produce better results in less time.
· Wear proper apparel. Avoid loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or any other jewelry
that could get caught in moving parts. Wear non-slip footwear and protective hair covering
specifi cally designed as safety gear.
· Secure machinery to prevent tipping or sliding.
· Keep proper footing and balance to avoid slipping or sliding when you turn on machinery.
· Maintain tools in top condition. For the highest quality and safest performance, keep bits sharp and
clean and machinery properly maintained. Follow all lubrication and accessory maintenance
practices detailed in the instruction manual.
· Disconnect the machine from electrical power before servicing. When changing accessories such
as bits and clamps, making any sort of physical assessment of the machine, or when the motor is
being mounted or connected, disconnect the machine from the power source.
· Check for damaged parts. Before using the machine, make a careful assessment of all guards
and other parts to ensure that the machine will operate properly and perform as intended. Check
moving parts for alignment, binding, breakage, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced as
soon as possible, preceding any further use. Do not use the tool if you are not qualifi ed to make
these assessments.
· Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off the machine after operation. Do not
leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
· Drugs, alcohol, medication warning: Do not operate machinery while under the infl uence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medications.
· This machinery system is designed only for certain applications. Kreg Tool strongly recommends
that this system NOT be modifi ed and/or used for any applications other than those for which it
is designed. If you have any questions relative to the application of the machinery system, DO
NOT use the system until you have written, phoned, or e-mailed Kreg Tool and have been
