ATTACH ROUTER TO MOUNTING PLATE
(FIGS. 11 AND 12)
I _i' I Disconnect the router from
WARNING the power supply before installing
router into the table, making adjustments, changing
accessories, removing the router from the table,
performing maintenance, or storing the tool.
Such precautionary safety measures reduce the
risk of unintentional tool operation.
1. Remove the plastic subbase from your router (Fig. 11).
• If you wish to mount the router with the subbase,
you may need to purchase longer fasteners. Using
the subbase affects the range of cutting depth.
2. If your router has its own dust extraction hood that
mounts to the top of the metal router base and you
want to use it under the router table, this is a
convenient time to install it.
3. Using Chart 1, determine the hardware and hole
pattern type for your router.
• The screws are driven into threaded holes in the
router's base.
Competitor routers are outside of Sears' control.
Changes made to these touters may affect the
compatibility to the fasteners specified and/or
supplied with this table.
Always make sure the screw is fully seated on
the mounting plate and that the router base is
firmly against the mounting plate to ensure secure
mounting. If the router, plate, and fasteners do not
seat together properly, you may need to purchase
new fasteners of a different length or size.
I-_ I Before using the router table, verify
WARNING,
that the router is securely clamped
to the router table base. While working, periodically
check the router base fasteners' clamping tightness.
Router motor vibration can loosen fasteners during use,
causing the router to fall from the table.
4. Refer to the mounting plate guide (Fig. 10) on
page 16 and align the appropriate mounting plate
holes for your router to the router base holes. Make
sure that the depth adjustment controls on the router
face the front of the mounting plate. Figure 10 shows
the proper orientation of the plate when installed
on the table.
5. Securely mount your router to the mounting plate
(Fig. 12).
