Attaching the quick-clamp
router mounting plate to the
router (Figs. 5–7)
The router mounting plate included with this
router table is designed to fit the routers
in Chart 1. The router mounting plate also
features access holes to allow use of the
over-table height adjustment (OTA) feature
on certain router models. See Fig. 7 for OTA
access hole. Refer to your router manual for
additional information on using this feature.
WARNING
before installing router into the table,
making adjustments, changing accessories,
removing the router from the table,
performing maintennace, or storing the
tool. Such precautionary asfety measures
reduce the risk of unintentional tool operation.
1. Remove the plastic subbase from your
router (Fig. 5).
If you wish to mount the router with the
•
subbase, you may need to purchase longer
fasteners. Using the subbase reduces the
range of the cutting depth.
2. If your router has its own dust extraction hood that mounts to the top of the router base and
you want to use it under the router table, this is a convenient time to install it.
3. Using Chart 1, determine the hardware and hole pattern typeyou're your router.
The screws are driven into threaded holes in the router's base.
•
Other manufacturers routers are outside of SKIL s control. Changes made to these routers
•
may affect the compatibility to the fasteners specified and/or supplied with this table.
Always make sure the screw is fully seated on the mounting plate and that the router base
•
is firmly against the mounting plate to ensure secure mounting. If the router, plate, and
fasteners do not seat together properly, you may need to purchase new fasteners of a
different length or size.
WARNING
router base fasteners clamping tightness. Router motor vibration can loosen fasteners
during use, causing the router to fall from the table.
4. Refer to the mounting plate guide (Fig. 7) and align the appropriate mounting plate holes
for your router to the router base holes. Before you mount the router, be sure that the router
position does not interfere with the table switch and quick-clamp router mounting system.
5. Securely mount the quick-clamp mounting plate (4) to your router (Fig. 6).
NOTE: Mounting plate must be mounted with the bent tabs towards the router. Plate must
also be mounted so no router parts interfere with the table or the router mounting mechanism.
