1) Remove the plastic base from the router and align it with the closest corresponding ring on the bottom of the insert plate.

2) Mark the locations of the mounting holes on your insert plate using your routers’ base plate as a guide.(Before you drill any holes, make sure the router is positioned in the manner that you prefer).

3) Drill holes through the insert plate using a drill bit that corresponds with the mounting screws supplied with your router.

4) On the top of the insert plate, countersink each hole with a drill bit that corresponds to the head of themounting screws of your router.

5) Attach the router to the insert plate and ensure that the router mounting screws are level with or slightly below thesurface of the insert.

Install the (8) included #10 socket flat headleveling screws in the threaded holes shownabove.

WARNING: FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.• Always wear eye protection complying with current ANSI standard Z87.1.• Always disconnect power from the router before inserting bits or making any changes.• Always when setting up and collapsing the table, keep fingers away from “pinch points” at folding locations to avoid injury.• Always set table base on level ground, table, or floor surface.• Table base must be securely fastened to the table top.• Ensure that the assembled router table will not slide, roll or topple during use.• Before each use, ensure that the router table, router table base, router fence, router and router bit are all free from damage.• Do not use if damage is noticed or suspected.• Do not use a router that exceeds 31/2 HP with this router table system.• Keep guards in place. Do not use if guards are damaged or have been removed.• Read and obey all warnings and instructions contained in router's operator’s manual and the router bit’s packaging. If you do

not have the operator's manuals, obtain them from the manufacturers before using.• Before each use check that router bit is sharp. Never use a router bit that is dull.• Keep body and clothing clear of spinning bit.• Before each use ensure that at least 80% of the router bit shank is inserted in the collet of the router. Do not,

however, ''bottom-out'' the bit in the collet. The end of the bit shank should be about 1/8 inch from the bottom of the collet.• Before each use ensure that the collet of the router has been tightened.• Use router fence whenever possible.• Use multiple passes when removing large quantities of material.• Never use a router bit on a router that will exceed maximum recommended RPM of bit.

Please keep these warnings and instructions in a safe place for future reference.

SH-5 Router Table Fence Setting

CAUTION: Turn off the router and disconnect from power before inserting the bit or making any adjustments. Consult therouter’s operator’s manual for instructions on installing a router bit.

Two types of alignment scales are provided on the fence. The knobs are marked at each .001" and one full revolution of the knobwill result in .050" travel of the fence. Numbers are also provided to indicate 0", .005", .010", .015", etc. The rods to which thefences are attached are marked with linear scales and these are divided into .050" with an indicator for 0 midway of the scale.Before checking the settings or making any adjustments, ensure that the router is powered off and unplugged. When all fourscales are reading 0, the infeed fence will be aligned with the outfeed fence. This must be verified using a straight edge beforeusing the fence and if any variance is found, refer to the instructions below for calibrating the fence. If both knobs are turned anequal amount the fences will stay in alignment.

Decimal AdjustmentsThe markings on the micro-adjustment knob are each .001".One full revolution of the knob = .050".The markings on the scale are each .050".

Fractional AdjustmentsTo adjust the fence by fractions of an inch referto the following chart:

SH-5 Router Table Fence CalibrationThe SH-5 Router Table Fence is manufactured to precise tolerances. However,due to variances in the materials used for the fence faces, some minor calibra-tion of the dials may be necessary. The steps below detail the process requiredto ensure accurate setting of the fence.1. Ensure that the router is powered off and unplugged and that there is no

router bit in the router.2. Rotate dials to align all scales to 0.3. Hold a straight edge against both fences and rotate one dial until fences are

aligned.4. Tighten the locking screws.5. Loosen the set screw of the dial and rotate to 0.6. Tighten the set screw and check with the straight edge.7. Readjust if necessary.

Using The Fence In Straight Position

If you are using a bearing bit, align the fence flush with the bearing. If you are using a non-bearing bit, adjust the fence tothe desired profile.

B

Loosen the 4 screws that secure the fence faces. Move the fence faces as close together as possible without interfering withthe rotation of the bit. Tighten the screws. Keeping your hands away from the cutting edge of the bit, check to ensure thatthe bit rotates freely and doesn’t contact any part of the router, router table, or fence.

C

Direction of feed when facing the fence is from right to left. If the chip guard was removed while making any adjustments,be sure to properly install the chip guard before operating the table. Adjust the chip guard horizontally so that the entire bitis covered and vertically so that it is as close to the material as possible without contacting the router bit or the material tobe routed.

To use the fence in the straight position refer to the earlier section for instructions on how to align the infeed and outfeedfences. Chip guard has been removed for clarity. Never operate the router without the guard properly positioned andsecurely mounted.

The infeed and outfeed fences of the SH-5 are independently adjustable and can be used with a straight or flush trim bit forapplications such as “Jointing” to true the edge of a board.

Insert a straight or flush trim bit. (Make sure that the bit is longer/taller than the material to be jointed.

A

If using a flush trim bit with a bearing, align the bearing flush with the fence face. If using a flush trim bit with no bearing,align the carbide edge flush with the fence face.

B

Using the micrometer knob on the infeed fence, rotate the knob clockwise, one complete rotation for .050" depth of cut(approx 1/16"-1/8"). Once you have made your adjustments tighten the locking screws to secure your settings.

Direction of feed when facing the fence is from right to left. If the chip guard was removed while making any adjustments,be sure to properly install the chip guard before operating the table.
