Model W1821 (For Machines Mfg. Since 3/10)

The Model W1821 will support a router with a base

thickness between

⁄

" and 2

⁄

To install a router, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT THE SAW AND ROUTER FROM POWER!

2. Slide three of the router hold-down assemblies into

the T-slots underneath the router table so that they

allow room for the router base, as shown in

Figure

17.

Note: To properly position the hold-down clamp,

balance the tightness of the hold-down knob and the

adjustment bolt so that the clamp will allow room

for the router base in the next step. If necessary,

put the adjustment bolt jam nut on the other side

of the clamp.

Router Installation

If the router unexpectedly moves or the router bit

contacts the table insert or fence during operation,

serious personal injury could result from flying

debris. ALWAYS make that at least three router

clamps are used and are applied to a flat surface

of the router base before connecting the router to

power.

3. Slide the router base onto the three hold-down

clamps, position them so that they secure the router

bit in the center of the table opening, then tighten

the hold-down knobs and adjustment bolts to secure

the router in place (see

Figure 18).

4. Install the remaining hold-down assembly to

make sure the router stays firmly in place during

operation.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the

router table T-slots, do not

position the clamp adjustment

bolts over the thin edge of the

T-slots.
