1. Measure distance from each end of unitized fence
to edge 'E' of miter bar slot on the table as shown
in Fig. #17. If both distances are the same, the
fence is parallel to miter bar slot. If not, loosen large
knobs and adjust fence accordingly. Tighten both
knobs.
2. Position miter gauge on table as shown in Fig. #17.

WHEN ROUTING,
ROTATION OF THE CUTTER. FEED WORKPIECE IN
THE DIRECTION OF ARROW AS SHOWN ON THE
LABEL ON THE SIDE OF THE FENCE BEING USED
(when facing the table front).
The unitized fence on your table is provided as a guide
against which the workpiece should be held for accuracy
in routing. Free hand routing (not holding work against
the fence) is hazardous and should be strictly avoided.
Shop vac. with either 2 1/2" diameter or 1 1/2" diameter
hose nozzle should be connected to the dust collection
attachment when using the router table.
ADJUSTING DEPTH AND HEIGHT OF CUT
In order to retract the guard and have full access to the
router bit for making adjustments,
is smooth with its edges and ends true to each other
and its surfaces and:
1. Mark lines 'A' and 'B' on the end of this board. Line
'A' for desired depth of cut (amount of material you
#10-32 Hex Nut
want to remove) and line 'B' for desired cutting
height. See Fig. #18.
2. Clamp this board against the face of the fence with
edge resting on table top and end marked with lines
'A' and 'B' close to the bit. See Fig. #18. (This will
retract guard inside fence and provide access to
the bit for making adjustments.

3. Loosen both large knobs that allow movement of
fence and move fence forward and backward until
outermost cutting edge of router bit is aligned with
line 'A'. Tighten both knobs.
