Remove the subbase screws and the subbase from
your router.

consumer routers, use the 10-32 x 3/4 in. screws. For
commercial routers, use the 5/16-18 screws.

table.
[] Align the holes in the table with the holes in your router.
Feed the screws through the table and into the router.

Direction of feed must always be so that the workpiece
is being thrust against the sharp edges of the rotating
bit.
The workpiece
must always be tight against the guide
fence, unless a ball-bearing piloted bit is being used.
The infeed fence should be adjusted to support the
uncut workpiece while the outfeed fence should be
adjusted properly to support the workpiece after
the cut passes the router bit, compensating
for the
removed stock.
,A
WARNING:
The direction of feed for the workpiece
is always against the sharp edges of the bit and
against the rotation of the cutter. Failure to heed this
warning is likely to result in serious personal injury.
A
WARNING:
Do not use the guide fence with ball-
bearing piloted bits. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
