Sub Base Alignment For Template Routing
The guide adapter is aligned with the collet at the time of
manufacture, but the two may become misaligned during shipping
and handling, particularly if the tool is dropped. To properly align the
collet with the guide adapter follow the steps below.
1. Turn Off and Unplug Router.
2. Raise the Clamp Lever and remove the motor unit from the router
base.
3. Remove the Guide Screw and the Adjusting Ring shown in Figure 3.
4. Loosen the 4 screws in the Sub Base, as shown in Figure 4.
5. Re-insert the Guide Screw (not the Adjusting Ring) in the motor
unit and insert the motor unit into the router base. (Make sure
that you align the Guide Screw with the slot in the router base.)
6. Lower the motor unit until the collet adapter extends through the
guide adapter, as shown in Figure 4. Adjust the Sub Base until the
collet adapter fits through it.

7. Tighten the four screws in the Sub Base and remove the motor
unit from the router base.
8. Remove the Guide Screw and re-install the Adjusting Ring.
9. Install the Guide Screw and re-insert the motor unit into the router
base. (Be sure to align the guide screw with the slot in the base.)
10. The template guide is now aligned with the collet.
NOTE: When installing the guide screw in the above section
remember that it must be tightened firmly so that the head is flush
against the side of the motor unit.
Attaching Bits and Cutters
Turn Off and Unplug Router
Insert the shank of the desired bit or cutter into the collect as far as it
will go, then pull it out slightly (about 1/32",.793 mm). Use the
wrenches provided to securely tighten the collet nut. One wrench
holds the collet adapter and the other tightens the collet nut.
A special coating has been put on the collet and collet nut to increase
the bit holding power. Use only the wrenches provided with your
router to tighten the collet nut. Other tools may damage the coating
through overtightening.
Depth Adjustment
Turn Off and Unplug Router
Loosen the Clamp Lever by raising it fully. Adjust the depth setting of
the router bit by turning the Adjusting Ring shown in Figure 5. To
raise the bit away from the work surface, turn the ring clockwise (as
viewed from the top of the tool) and to lower the bit into the work, turn
it counterclockwise.Directly over the Clamp Lever pivot point is a
line scribed into the aluminum housing, as shown in Figure 5. As the
ring is rotated, the raised lugs on the ring will pass over this line. Each
time a lug passes the line, the bit is raised or lowered 1/64" (.396
mm). Every full revolution of the Adjusting Ring accounts for
