5. Once the router is secured

under the table
6. Secure the router plate to
the table by feeding each
of the 4 screws through the
top of the table and into
the router plate.
7. Ensure that the front of the
router is facing the front of the router table.
8. Make sure the switch on the front left leg is in the off
position.

cord into the back of the

Mounting a router other than the R1250
1. If there is no combination of screw holes in the router
plate that match perfectly the mounting requirements
of the router, it is necessary to drill extra holes.
2. Find the mounting screw holes in your router. This may
be three or four holes pre-drilled for mounting into a
power tool table, or it could be the base plastic non-
scratch plate mounting screws.
3. Work out the type and depth of screw needed and
purchase suitable countersunk-headed screws from your
local screw stockist.
4. Mark out on a piece of tracing paper the screw
positions relative to the centre of the router.
5. Turn the router plate upside down and stick the tracing
paper upside down onto the plate with its centre
coincidental to the centre of the hole in the plate.
6. Double check you have the tracing paper the correct
way up so that the router when mounted from
underneath lines up with the centre of the hole in the
router plate and the marked holes you are about to drill
through.
7. Carefully drill through the router plate at the points
marked on your tracing paper.
8. Turn the router plate and countersink the holes to suit
the screws you purchased.
9. Remove the tracing paper and secure the router to the
router plate.
Warning. Do not use your router table unless your router
is fully secured in place.
Attaching a table insert
Three table inserts (4) each with a different size opening
are supplied with the router table. Change the table
inserts as needed to accommodate the size of the router
bit. The bit should not make contact with the table insert.
Warning. Do not use bits that have a cutting diameter
that exceeds the clearance hole in the table insert.
1. Select a table insert that has a clearance hole larger
than the diameter of the bit being used.
2. Align the table insert with the square depression that
surrounds the router opening in the table.
3. Press gently and evenly on the table insert to secure it
in the depression.
