WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil-
ter out microscopic particles.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY.
All children and visitors should be kept at a
safe distance from work area.
6. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
7. NEVER FORCE TOOL. It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. DO NOT force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
4. NEVER USE IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT use power tools
in damp or wet locations, or where any
flammable or noxious fumes may exist.
Keep work area well lighted.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-
sion cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair cov-
ering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than using
your hand and frees both hands to operate
tool.
13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubri-
cating and changing accessories.
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. On machines with magnetic
contact starting switches there is a risk of
starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.
Always disconnect from power source
before adjusting or servicing. Make sure
switch is in OFF position before reconnect-
ing.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
18. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO
NOT leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
19. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running
a machine.
20. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE
THE MACHINE. Make sure any instruc-
tions you give in regards to machine opera-
tion are approved, correct, safe, and clearly
understood.
21. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-
ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Then
contact our service department or ask a

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

-4- G0528 Sliding Router Table
Unfamiliarity with this manual could result
in serious personal injury. Read and
become familiar with the contents of this
manual, including all the safety warnings.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Operating this machinery may
require additional safety precautions spe-
cific to your shop environment. Failure to
use reasonable caution while operating
this machine could result in serious per-
sonal injury.
1. HAND POSITIONING. Never pass your
hands directly over or in front of the cutter.
As one hand approaches cutter, move it in
an arc motion away from the cutter to the
outfeed side and reposition that hand beyond
the cutter.
2. STOCK LENGTH. Do not rout stock shorter
than 12 inches without special fixtures or jigs.
Where practical, rout longer stock and cut to
size.
3. BLIND CUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. This
keeps the cutters on the underside of the
workpiece and provides a distance guard for
the operator.
4. TEST ROTATION. Always rotate the spindle
by hand, with the machine unplugged, to test
any new setup to ensure proper cutter clear-
ance before starting the machine.
5. KEEP ANY UNUSED PORTION OF THE
CUTTER BELOW THE TABLE SURFACE.
6. DEPTH OF CUT. Never remove too much
material in one pass. Several light passes are
safer and give a cleaner finish.
7. IF AT ANYTIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-
ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE
INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING
THE ROUTER TABLE! Then contact our
service department or ask a qualified expert
how the operation should be performed.
8. SAFETY DEVICES. The use of push sticks
as safety devices in some applications is
smart; in others it can be quite dangerous.
If the push stick comes in contact with the
cutter on the end grain, it can fly out of your
hand like a bullet, potentially causing seri-
ous injury.
We recommend using some type of fixture,
jig, or hold-down device as a safer alterna-
tive. Use a guard or other type of protective
device at all times.
9. ALWAYS FEED AGAINST THE ROTA-
TION OF THE CUTTER.
10. DO NOT REMOVE THE RETRACTABLE
GUARD ON THE FENCE.
11. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS
MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION
in people and animals, especially when
exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know
what type of wood dust you will be exposed
to, the possibility of a allergic reaction and
always wear an approved respirator.
12. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL SUPPLIED
WITH THE ROUTER TO BE INSTALLED
IN THIS TABLE.
13. DO NOT REACH UNDER THE ROUTER
TABLE WHILE THE ROUTER IS
PLUGGED IN OR RUNNING.

Commentary
SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION

-6- G0528 Sliding Router Table
The Model G0528 power switch (page 16, Figure
13) is designed to accept 2-prong DOUBLE
INSULATED plugs or 3-prong grounding type
plugs. The power switch provides the conve-
nience of switching power to the router at the
front of the router table instead of having to reach
under the table and locate the switch. The power
switch also allows multiple devices such as lights
or vacuums to be powered when the router is
turned ON.
The power switch plugs into a wall outlet that is
properly grounded as shown in Figure 1.
If the machine is wired incorrectly a fire
could result. Make sure your wiring, recep-
tacle, plug, and circuit breaker can handle
the current draw of the machine. If you are
not sure that your electrical circuit can han-
dle the current draw, get a qualified electri-
cian to test your electrical system and do
any required upgrades. Do not attempt to
modify an existing circuit by only replac-
ing the circuit breaker with one rated for
a higher amperage draw than the wiring,
receptacle, and plug are rated for.
