Noise emission.

Notes concerning noise emission: Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and exposure times, it is not precise enough to determine the need for supplementary precautions. The factors affecting the true level of exposure to operators are clearly the amount of time exposed, the characteristics of the working environment, other sources of dust and noise, etc, for example, adjacent machines, in other words, the level of ambient noise. It is possible that exposure level limits will vary from country to country.

1. Table.

The table is made from cast iron and has four miter slots to allow the fence to be fitted in any one of four orientations. Underneath it has four “T” slots to allow the router clamps to attach almost any router to the table.

2. Jointer shims.

The jointer shims are fitted behind the out fence to allow the router to be used as a jointer.

3. Fence plate.

There are two fence plates [one on either side of the cutter].

They are adjustable sideways to suite the job in hand. The out put fence plate can be adjusted with the use of shims to move it away from the aluminum fence and turn the router attachment into a jointer.

4. Pivot pin.

There are two locations for the pivot pin to suite the set up that you are using.

5. Blanking discs.

Two blanking discs are supplied to suite the router and cutter that you are using.

6. Guard.

The guard is made from clear plastic to allow the cutter to be viewed and is adjustable vertically to afford maximum protection.

7. Dust hood.

The dust hood has an out put tube of 2 ¼ inches for attachment to your dust collector. The dust hood should be attached to a dust collector with a minimum capacity of 1000 cu ft per minuet. The stronger the dust collector the better, as the router generates a lot of sawdust and wood chips.

8. Clamp handles.

The router fence is fitted with two clamp handles to allow the fence to be adjusted and clamped is the position to suite the job in hand.

9. Aluminum fence.

The aluminum fence supports the fence plates and the dust hood.

10. Router clamps.

There are three router clamps that fit into “T” slots on the under side of the table. They are adjustable and will fit most routers.

11. Table support leg.

A support leg is supplies that attaches to the table.

Unpacking your Router Table Attachment.

1. Dismantle the box.

2. Using the knife, cut the plastic wrap.

Packaged Router Table Attachment.

Cleaning the Router Table Attachment.

Remove the rust protection grease with WD 40 or a similar solvent.

It is important that you remove all the grease and re lubricate with a Teflon- based lubricant, as Teflon has less tendency to attract sawdust and cause clogging. You should also wax the fence as this also protects and reduces friction.

Assembly and set up.

The Router Table Attachment can fit on most table saws, either using the existing holes on the side of the table saw, or by drilling and tapping 3 or 4 holes. The table has three holes on one side, and on the opposite side it has four holes. It is not important which set of holes are used and it is suggested that you select the set of holes that is match your saw.

Four fixing holes

Three fixing holes

12

Support leg 1. Remove your existing side table from your saw [if fitted].

2. Measure the centers both vertically [from the top of the table] and horizontally [along the length of the table] 3. Check if the hole centers are the same as the holes in the router table.

4. If the holes do not line up, holes will have to be drilled in either the router table or the saw table [see methods A, B, and C].

5. If the holes line up, fit the support leg to the router table as shown above. This will give stability to the router table, and take most of the weight so that you will be stabilizing it, and not holding the full weight.

6. Hold the router table against the saw table with the top of the router table level with the top of the saw table.

7. Fit the socket head bolts and washer [do not fully tighten].

8. Adjust the table vertically so that the router table is level with the saw table and fully tighten the fixing bolts.

Should the holes not line up, mark the position of the holes, three methods can be used.

A. Spot through the existing holes in the router table onto the saw table.

B. Spot through the existing holes in the saw table onto the router table.

C. Mark the saw table or router table with the required hole centers, centre punch and drill.

Note:- Which ever method is selected care should be taken and the procedure should never be rushed.

13

Method ”A” 1. Fit the support leg to the router table as shown above. This will give stability to the router table and take most of the weight so that you will be stabilizing it, and not holding the full weight.

2. Hold the router table against the saw table with the top of the router table level with the top of the saw table.

3. With the two table’s level, spot thought the router table hole with a drill.

4. Remove the router table and drill a small pilot hole in the saw table.

5. Open the hole to a size that will allow clearance for the screw.

6. Fit the router table and clamp with the bolt and nut.

7. Repeat the procedure for the right hand fixing hole.

8. Once both outside fixings are complete repeat for the central hole or holes.

9. Adjust the table vertically so that the router table is level with the saw table.

Note:- You may have to elongate one or more of the holes, either up or down to ensure that the router table is level with the saw table.

Method B. This is basically the same as method “A,” but spotting through the saw table onto the router table. This may not be practical depending on the access inside of your table saw.

Method C. Mark the saw table or router table with the required hole centers, centre punch and drill.

14

Support leg Support leg adjuster Adjusting the support leg.

Lay a straight edge on the router table and the main saw table.

Adjust the leg so that the router table is parallel with the main saw table.

Fitting the router fence.

15

T bar 1. Slide the two “T” bars into the selected “T” slots.

2. Place the router fence over the threaded studs and assemble the two clamp handles.

Note:- The router fence can be fitted to any of the “T” slots to suit your preference and the job in hand.

Fitting the router to the table.

Router attachment The router is attached to the underside of the table with the router clamps. The clamps can be fitted to any of the “T” slots to suite the router that you are fitting. The clamps have jacking screws to aid in clamping the router.

16

Note:- The clamps should be spaced equally around the circumference of the router to ensure equal secure clamping.

Note:- Align the spindle of the router central to the hole in the table. It is not important that the spindle is exactly central.

Fitting the dust hose.

Dust hose pipe Fit a 2 Âź inches diameter dust hose between your dust collector and the to the dust hood. Ensure that the dust hose is securely clamped.

Note:- The dust collector should have a minimum capacity of 1000 cu feet per minute, but the stronger the dust collector the better, as the router creates a lot of wood chips and dust.

Blanking discs.

Pivot pin

Pivot pin hole

17

Two blanking discs are supplied to suite the router and cutter that you are using. The discs are a snug fit and may need to be sanded to suite the router table hole. When sanding ensure that the location tag is not removed or damaged. This is used to locate the disc in the router table hole.

Pivot pin.

There are two locations for the pivot pin to suite the set up that you are using.

Operating and adjusting the Router Table Attachment.

Jointer shims Guard Fence plates Jointer shims.

The jointer shims are fitted behind the out fence to allow the router to be used as a jointer. By selecting either all or single shims, the fence can be adjusted for different thicknesses of cut. To fit the shims, loosen the fence plate clamp screws, Insert the required shims and re clamp the screws.

18

Fence plates To adjust the fence plates to the required position, loosen the screws, slide the plates to the required position and re clamp.

Guard.

To adjust the guard, loosen the clamp screws, adjust the guard, and re clamp.

Weekly maintanince.

1. Check all nuts and bolts are tight 2. Clean the machine. Make sure that all moveing parts are clean and free from saw dust and dirt.

3. Lubricate all moveing parts with a Teflon based lubricant.

4. Wax the table and all none painted parts.
