PREPARING THE ROUTER
SAFETY OVERVIEW
1. KNOW YOUR ROUTER. Read the owner's manual that came with your router before you use it.
Understand the machine's applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards
inherent in its use. Before using the router, check that none of its moving parts is broken, loose
or misaligned.
NOTE: General Tools & Instruments is not responsible for router misuse or the disregard of
standard safety precautions associated with using a router.
Installing the "Quick Change"
Guide Sleeve
The E•Z Pro M&T Jig is designed to be used with
plunge routers with base plates with a 1-3/16"
center hole and a 1-3/8" counter-bore. This is to
accommodate the included "Quick Change"
guide sleeve and bushing. If your router base
cannot mate with the guide sleeve, you can
purchase a "Universal Router Plate" with the
appropriate center hole dimensions to attach
to or replace your current router base.
With the proper base plate installed:
1. Insert the Guide Sleeve [R-2] into the base
plate.
2. Secure the Lock Nut [R-1] firmly with
the flat Spanner Wrench Provided.
3. Screw the 1-1/8" Router Guide Bushing [R-3]
into the center of the Guide Sleeve and hand
tighten. (Fig. 3)
Centering the Base Plate and
the "Quick Change Guide System"
1. With your router upside down, plunge the base
plate and lock it.
2. Insert the 1/4" Centering Pin [R-4] in the router
chuck and tighten it securely.
3. Loosen the mounting screws of the base plate
just enough to allow a little movement.
(Fig. 4)
4. Carefully release the plunge lock and gently
guide the plunge base to extension on the cone
section of the Centering Pin; (Fig. 5) this allows
the loosened base plate to move on its screw
holes to a perfect centering position.
5. Tighten the base plate screws securely.
