INSTALLING THE FENCE (FIG. 23)
1. Place the fence assembly on the table so that the
fence guides on the mounting brackets fit into the
V-shaped grooves on the table top. Loosely attach
it from under the table top with a 1/4 x 20 x 1-1/2"
carriage bolt (39), 9/32" ID x 5/8" OD x 1/16"
washer (36), and a large clamping knob (4) on
each bracket.
2. Position the fence so it is centered from right to left
on the table.
3. Lightly tighten the clamping knobs to hold the fence
in place.
ALIGNING THE FENCE (FIG. 24)
1 . Loosen the four clamping knobs holding the lower
fence to the upper fence and slide the lower fences
together until they touch at the center of the table.
2. Gently press the lower fences against the upper
fence so that the tab on the upper fence fits into
the slots on the lower fences. Tighten the clamping
knobs.
3. Loosen the two fence clamping knobs and align the
fences so that they are parallel to the miter slot at
the front of the table. Use two hands to ensure
proper fence placement.
NOTE: Use the scales as a guide.
4. Securely tighten the fence clamping knobs.
5. Securely tighten the screws attaching the support
brackets to the upper fence.
6. Securely tighten the screws holding the fence
guides to the fence support brackets.
7. Check the alignment of the dust collector and guard
bracket. Once they are centered properly on the
fence and table, tighten the fasteners securely.
INSTALLATION OF A WET/DRY VAC TO THE
DUST COLLECTOR
T he guard/dust collector assembly has a port for
connecting a wet/dry vac hose with a 2-1/2" nozzle.
To attach, simply push the nozzle into the port while
holding the fence assembly in place.
Operating the router table without
a wet/dry vac can result in an excessive build-up of
sawdust and wood chips under the fence assembly
and overhead guard, reducing the performance of the
router table and fence assembly.

RECOMMENDATION: To maximize performance,
regardless of whether a wet/dry vac is being used,
remove the sawdust and wood chips from under the
fence assembly and overhead guard as needed.
RECOMMENDATION: It is always a good practice to
keep the work area clean. As necessary, remove any
accumulated sawdust and wood chips from the top of
the router table, as well as from the surrounding work
area and floor.
