control where it can easily be accessed
from the front of the table. Once the router
is in the desired position, tighten the 4 bolts
sufficiently to prevent the router moving whilst
in operation.
• Plugtherouterplugintothereceptacleofthe
switch box.
This router table only can fit routers with
up to 162mm diameter base plate.

The router table is provided with a dust extraction
facility, where a vacuum extractor may be
connected to the outlet at the rear of the table,
using the adapter supplied. The connection hose
requires an inside diameter of 34 mm to fit the
adapter supplied, the hose, ideally should be a
reasonably tight fit on the adapter, which is then
just pushed into the hole in the back of the table.
