3.3 Mounting the Router Table
The router table is designed to be mounted on a workbench or other stable surface. The back edge of the table is pre-drilled to allow for the addition of a clamping strip (not included) for secure attachment. Alternatively, the table can be clamped directly to a workbench using appropriate clamps.

4.1 Жалпы операция
The POWERTEC Trim Router Table converts your handheld trim router into a stationary tool, allowing for more controlled and precise routing operations. It is suitable for cutting, leveling, jointing, planing, shaping, and general routing of small to mid-sized stock.
4.2 Маршрутизатордун бит бийиктигин жөндөө
To adjust the router bit height, it is recommended to detach the router from the table. Set the desired bit height as you would for handheld operation, then re-attach the router to the table. The leveled insert plate ensures the router bit aligns flush with the table surface.
4.3 Using the Adjustable Fence
The adjustable fence allows for precise positioning relative to the router bit. Use the T-knobs to loosen, adjust, and secure the fence. Ensure the fence is parallel to the desired cut line for consistent results. The fence is removable if not required for specific operations.

5. Техникалык тейлөө
5.1 Тазалоо
Regularly clean the router table surface and components to prevent sawdust buildup, which can affect precision and smooth operation. Use a brush or vacuum to remove dust and debris. For stubborn residue, a damp cloth can be used, ensuring the surface is dried thoroughly afterward.
5.2 Сактоо
Store the router table in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage, especially to the MDF components. Keep all parts together to avoid loss.
6. Кыйынчылыктарды
6.1 Router Not Fitting Base Plate
Ensure you are using the correct pre-drilled holes for your specific router model. Refer to the compatibility diagram in Section 3.2. If your router has a plunge base, verify that its diameter and screw head protrusions are compatible with the base plate's design. Some plunge bases may have a larger diameter than the base plate's recess, preventing a flush fit.
6.2 Base Plate Not Level with Table Surface
Check the leveling screws on the base plate. Adjust them as needed to ensure the base plate sits flush with the router table surface. Unevenness can affect routing accuracy.
6.3 Fence Adjustment Issues
If the fence does not adjust smoothly or secure properly, check the T-slots for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the T-knobs are fully engaged and threaded correctly. If a knob is difficult to turn, do not force it; inspect the threading for damage.
6.4 Ineffective Dust Collection
Ensure the dust port is securely connected to your dust collection system. Check for any blockages in the dust port or hose. Verify that your dust collector has sufficient suction for the type of material being routed.
