General safety instructions 5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and safer working at the rate for which it was designed. 6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job best handled by a heavier duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended. 7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Additional safety rules for powered router tables 15. Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged in tool with your finger on the switch. 16. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired. 17. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check that there are no damaged parts.
• Before using the tool to make a cut, switch on and let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate an improperly installed bit. • Take notice of the direction of rotation of the bit and the direction of feed. • Always switch off and wait until the bit has come to a complete standstill before removing the work piece from the machine. Unpacking Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.

Installing and removing collets 6. Remove the collet nut. Warning. Always ensure the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments. When changing the collets or when changing bits, the height of the motor assembly should be raised to close to the maximum height to gain full access to the collet nut. 1. The powered router table is supplied with 2 collets, 1/4" (6.35mm) and 1/2" (12.7mm). The 1/2" (12.7mm) collet is fitted to the product upon purchase. 2.
11. Replace the collet assembly cover in the following way: 11. The collet assembly cover locates in the centre of the height adjusting ring and is secured in place with two small screws. 11. The cover is usually fitted after the cutter has been installed, thus you need to select the cover which will pass over the cutter with the minimum of clearance. Three covers are supplied with the product, all with different size clearance holes. 11.
Adjustments 2. The height adjustment ring is marked with a straight arrow pointing towards the edge of the metal table. The table is marked with 10 corresponding lines. 2. When completing the setting of the depth of cut, always align the arrow on the height adjuster with one of the ten lines on the table. 3. To determine the depth of cut use a ruler to measure the distance between the base of the table and the tip of the router bit. 4.
Installing and adjusting the feather boards Adjusting the fence for trimming 1. When trimming timber the material coming out on the left hand side (outfeed) (4) of the cutter will be thinner than the material being fed through on the right hand side (infeed) (3). 2. The left hand guide block will need to be adjusted to compensate for the thinner material. This will help support the material and ensure a more accurate cut. 3.
Adjusting the mitre gauge 2. Fit an 8mm bolt (not supplied) through each corner of the plastic foot of the powered router table to secure it to the workbench. 1. The mitre gauge (10) slides horizontally along the table to allow for edging and mitre cuts in the work piece. 2. To adjust the mitre gauge to the desired angle loosen the mitre gauge locking knob (11) and rotate the mitre gauge to the desired angle from 0° to 45°.
Operation 12. The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the type of material being cut and the depth of cut. Practice first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the correct feed rate and cut dimensions. 13. Turn the powered router table off by pushing on the red cover. 1. Insert and secure the router bit. 2. Adjust the speed, depth of cut, feather boards, fence alignment and mitre gauge as required. 3.
