Install the insert plate
1
Place the insert plate with attached router in the table-top opening,
resting it on the plate leveler set screws. Using the hex wrench
(9), adjust the set screws from under the table to align the plate and the
table surfaces. Make sure all eight set screws are in equal contact with
the insert plate. Fasten the insert plate to the levelers with the machine
screws (12). Some adjustment of the machine screws and set screws
may be necessary to fine-tune the plate alignment.

Thread the set screw (13) into the bottom of the starting pin (14)
and tighten the assembly with a screwdriver and the hex wrench (9).
When ready for use, thread the starting pin assembly into the threaded
hole in the insert plate.
ATTENTION When using the Kreg Precision Router Table Fence
PRS1015 on your router table, store the starting pin in the threaded hole
at the rear of the clamp block.
Safety Instructions specific to using the Precision Router Table Top fitted with a fence
a) Read, understand, and follow your router manufacturer's safety warnings
and instructions.
b) Disconnect the router from power before making adjustments. Never
adjust the fence, plate, reducing rings, or any part of the router or router table
while the router is running.
c) Place the router table on a flat surface to prevent tipping or sliding.
Never stand on the router table.
d) Do not attempt to rout warped, twisted, or bowed workpieces. All
workpieces must have flat faces and square edges.
e) Do not attempt to rout very large workpieces on a router table.
Very large workpieces can be difficult to control and can cause the router table to
tip over.
f) Only use router bits in your router. Never use tools such as carving burrs,
mounted abrasives, wire wheels, or drill pits, even if the shanks match the
diameter of the router collet.
g) Wear gloves when handling router bits. Cutting edges are sharp.
h) Never use dirty, dull, or damaged router bits. Remove wood-resin build-up
with a cleaner specifically formulated for cutting tools. Have dull bits sharpened by
a qualified person. Discard damaged bits.
i) Make sure at least 75% of the router-bit shank length is securely held in the
router collet. To ensure a secure hold, leave
the end of the bit shanks and the bottom of the collet.
j) Use the insert-plate reducing ring with the smallest opening that allows the
bit to pass through it. A large gap around the bit can allow the workpiece to tip
into the bit and kick back.
k) Position the fence faces as close as possible to the bit. Turn the bit by hand
to check for interference. Firmly tighten the fence-face T-knobs before routing.
l) Adjust router speed to match the diameter of the bit. Reduce router speed
when using large-diameter bits. See Table 2 for recommended router speeds.
m) Make sure the router motor is securely clamped in the base before
starting the router.

n) Always support the workpiece with the fence or start pin. Only use the
starter pin with router bits that have a guide bearing.
o) When using the fence, always position the bit guard over the router bit
and as close to the workpiece surface as possible.
p) Never remove a large quantity of stock in one cut. Make several
progressively deeper cuts, adjusting the router bit or fence position between cuts.
q) Keep hands away from the rotating bit and your body out of the path of
the cut. Always use the bit guard, Use push sticks, push blocks, and feather
boards whenever possible, especially when routing narrow workpieces. Turn off
the router before clearing parts of scrap.
r) Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause contact
with the rotating bit. Never overreach.
s) Avoid routing small parts. Rout the profile on a large workpiece and then cut
the part to final size from the large workpiece. If you must rout a small part, build
an appropriate jig or hold the part with a wood handscrew clamp.
t) Make sure the workpiece is clear of the bit and the bit comes to a complete
stop before adjusting the workpiece position. Never start the router with the
workpiece in contact with the bit.
u) Avoid kickbacks. Kickbacks occur when the workpiece binds or lifts off
the table while being routed, causing it to be thrown back toward the
operator. To avoid kickbacks and potential injury, use sharp bits, keep the
machine aligned and maintained properly, and adequately support the workpiece.
Do not attempt to rout workpieces that are twisted, warped, or bowed, or that have
loose knots.
v) Feed the workpiece against (not with) the bit rotation. The bit can grab a
workpiece fed with the rotation of the bit, violently eject it from the router table, and
can cause your hand to contact the bit.
w) Never trap a workpiece between the bit and the fence. When forming a
profile on the straight edge of a workpiece, always rout with the bit housed in the
fence and the edge of the workpiece against the fence.
