i ,,.WARNINGI
BEFORE each and every use of
the router table, make sure that the floor stand, on
those models having one, is STABLE on the floor
and DOES NOT rock back and forth. If it does, level
the floor stand as described in a prior section.
On those models mounted on a workbench,
BEFORE each and every use make sure that the
router table is stable and securely mounted to the
workbench and is not free to move about or tip over.
If it does, remount the router table to the workbench
so that it is securely mounted.
