Before operating, make sure
the entire unit (table with router
installed) is placed on and secured to a solid, flat,
level surface and will not tip. Use of auxiliary in-feed
and out-feed supports is necessary for long or wide
workpieces. Long workpieces without adequate
support can cause the router table to tip over.
