IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Modification Required for Attaching Your Router
The mounting plate included with the Model T1240 DOES NOT feature pre-drilled mounting holes due to
the varying brands of routers using different mounting hole configurations.
To properly use this router table, holes must be drilled into the mounting plate that match the base mount-
ing hole configuration of your router. This procedure will require a drill press or hand-drill with guide, the
correct size drill bits, and possibly additional fasteners for mounting the router.
Before making any modifications to the mounting plate, read the entire Attaching Router section in this
manual to make sure the person making the modification is capable of performing the required tasks,
and to make sure that your router is firmly secured to the router mounting plate.
