Rousseau Router Lift LS Instruction Manual

SETUP
™
CORNER SNUGGERS: The corner snuggers are designed to tighten plate position by pressing outward in all
four corners. They are not designed to clamp the plate down to the table.
1. Once router is mounted, place plate in top opening with starting pin holes to
the right side. Assemble Corner Snuggers™ through plate using hardware pro-
vided (Fig. 1).
2. To hold plate in position push Corner Snuggers™ into all four corners and
tighten.
INSERT RINGS: The insert rings are designed to snap together with a tight fit,
so that they will stay securely in place.
To remove and replace the rings you may need to apply considerable force. We
recommend tapping the rings gently but firmly using a soft mallet or piece of wood.
If you desire a looser fit, you may lightly sand the inside diameter of the plate and red ring.
When replacing red ring the tab on underside must line up with one of the two notches in plate.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To get the most versatility and safety from your router table we highly recommend our router fences (3301 Basic or
3301DL Deluxe).
FREEHAND OPERATION: The starter pin is included for freehand routing of curved pieces, using a pilot bearing
bit. Caution: Never rout freehand (w/out a fence) using a non-piloted bit. The starter pin may be used in one of the
two predrilled locations in the mounting plate or three locations in the red ring. To store the starter pin use the
predrilled hole in the back right of the mounting plate.
When using the starter pin, the feed direction of the workpiece is always right to left across the front of the bit.
Set the workpiece against the front of the starter pin and pivot it slowly into the bit.
Once the workpiece has contacted the bit's pilot bearing move it away from starter pin.
While routing, make sure the workpiece is always in contact with the bearing.
