Refer to the upcoming MENTS, under section. ELECTRICAL USING THE SWITCH REQUIREfor cord specifications. • Make sure that power cords from the router, accessories, the switch box. and the extension cord DO NOT and CANNOT COME IN CONTACT with the router or any moving parts of the router.
FENCE TO THE ROUTER TABLE ,_CAUTION 1. Refer to Steps 4 through 8 and Figure !4a on Page 12. Operating the router table without a wet/dry vac can result in an excessive collection or build-up of sawdust and chips under the fence assembly and the overhead guard. This can hinder the performance of the router table and the fence assembly. 2. Adjust fence to desired location to obtain required cut.
TABLE TOP INSERTS TO THE ROUTER TABLE I,_WARNINGJ diameter router o 1-1/4" diameter, for use with router bits with diameters up to 1-1/8" 1. Select the table top insert that accommodates router bit to be used. • 1-7/8" diameter, for use with router bits with diameters up to 1-3/4" 2. Assemble the insert to the table top by pressing it into the large hole in the top of the router table, as shown in Figure 23.
GENERAL The Power Switch is designed to be used with most Craftsman Router Tables and Routers. It provides the convenience of an ON-OFF switch at the front of the table, thus eliminating the need to reach underneath the table to turn the router ON and OFF. This switch 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.
Theswitchboxincorporates twopositivesafetyfeaturesto preventinadvertent switchingONof the routerandthe unauthorized, andpossiblyhazardous, useby others.Inadvertent switchingONof therouter is preventedby theclearplasticswitchcover.The covermustberaisedandtheswitchmanuallytoggledto the ONpositionto startthe router.Also,the safetykeycanbe removedto disabletheswitchbox by "locking"theswitchin the OFFposition,thuspreventingunauthorized andpossiblehazardous use.
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 OPERATION on Page t 9. [,_WARNING] For your own SAFETY and the SAFETY OF OTHERS, do the following when the router table is not in use: 1. Toggle the switch lever to the OFF position and remove the key. 2. Turn the router OFF. 3.
ROUTING PUSH USING THE FENCE WITHOUT 5. Loosen the fence clamping knob on the adjustable jointing fence and move it out, flush against the finished edge of scrap wood. Retighten the knob. See Figure 26. 6. Repeat the test cut on the scrap wood with overhead guard DOWN. 7. The router table is now ready for use. THE BLOCK 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 workpiece surface.
Edge Cutting With Piloted Router Bits: 1. Position the fence in the same manner FIGURE 29, VIEW FROM LEFT SIDE OF ROUTER as with non-piloted bits. 2. Move the fence back only enough to permit the pilot to control the cutting depth• Positioning the fence as close to the pilot as possible will serve as a backup and will help to prevent chances of an accident and possible personal injury. See Figure 28. 3. LOWER THE OVERHEAD GUARD to the OPERATING POSITION.
