The protective coating on the cast-iron table, prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it by
rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spirits or
paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable solvent-
soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recom-
mendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed by
clean-up with solvent.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or use
regular applications of any after-market surface protec-
tant or rust inhibitor.
Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into
the T-slots to remove the grease.

airflow and maximize dust collection efficiency
based on the size of your dust collector. The smaller
the dust collector the wider the vents should be
opened to allow maximum airflow.

Note: To prevent overheating the router motor inside the
confined space of the enclosure, always use a dust col-
lector or vacuum to allow for air to flow.

This model 40-125 “fixed base” router lift, Ais designed to
accommodate the largest diameter router motor body
currently available.
Note: Based on our research this is the Porter Cable model
7518 and 7519 router motors which measure 4.200” in diam-
eter.
All other motors (smaller diameters) will require a shim C
(item # 40-626, available from you local General Intera-
tional dealer), or a reducer collar such as our model 40-
312 (for 3 1/2” motors) or 40-314 (for 3 1/4” motors), B, to
center the router as well as prevent from overtightening
the clamping system.
