ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING LOCK LEVER TENSION ON THE
FIXED BASE ROUTER
See Figure 20, page 17.
Over time and with repeated use, the lock lever may become
loose. When this occurs, tighten the stop nut slightly. The
stop nut should be loose enough so that there is some play
in the lock lever when it is in the open position.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the stop nut. The lock lever should
clamp tightly to secure the motor housing.
NOTICE:
Make sure the motor housing does not move up
or down when clamped. If motor is not securely
clamped in base, adjustments will not be accurate.
WARNING:
Follow the proper provided instructions from the
router table manufacturer when mounting router
to a routing table. Failure to use router tables with
appropriate safety features could result in serious
personal injury. Use router tables that are UL
classified and identified suitable for use with the
specific router model.
CENTERING TOOL
See Figures 21 - 23, pages 17 - 18.
If the subbase needs to be replaced, removed, or changed,
a centering tool is provided. The 1/4-in. collet adaptor must
be removed before the centering tool can be used.
To remove the subbase on the router:

 Hold the collet nut with the supplied wrench and depress
and hold the spindle lock until it locks into place.
 Loosen the collet nut, be sure the 1/4 in. adapter has
been removed from the 1/2 in. collet.
 Insert the large end of the centering tool pin into the collet
until it touches bottom. Pull centering tool upward until
the tapered edge is flush with the subbase. Tighten the
collet securely with the wrench provided.
 Release the spindle lock.
 Place the centering cone on the centering tool and lightly
press down on the cone until it stops as shown in fig-
ure 20. This will center the subbase.
