INSTALLING THE DUST CHUTE (FIG. E)
Place the dust chute (1) firmly into the fence backstop
port (2). A wet / dry shop vacuum hose can be attached to
the chute to help keep the work area free of wood chips.
CAUTION: Never leave a wet/dry vacuum hose connected
unless the vacuum is turned on during operation, or the
machine will clog with chips.

TABLE INSERT (FIG. F)
The table insert must be in position when shaping a
workpiece, to provide support and to keep dust and chips
out of the spindle area.
1. When the cutter or router bit is positioned above the
table surface, install the table insert with the smaller
hole (1) up, to provide a surface flush with the table.
2. When the cutter or router bit is positioned partially
below the table surface, the insert must be installed
with the larger opening facing (2) up, to provide a
recessed surface.
CAUTION: Make sure the cutter will not hit the table
insert before turning the tool ON.
