ADJUSTING SUB-BASE ALIGNMENT
Applications using a templet guide require the bit to be centered in the guide.
This, in turn, requires the center hole in the sub-base to be in line with the
collet of the motor unit. Your model has an adjustable sub-base which has
been aligned at the factory. If the sub-base has been removed and/or
readjustment is required, use the following procedure:
CAUTION: Be sure that the power switch is in the "OFF" position and that the
machine is disconnected from the power source to avoid accidental starting
of the motor which could result in personal injury.
1. Loosen the sub-base mounting screws just enough to allow the sub-base
to move on the base.
2. Loosen the clamp screw (C) Fig.
6, and adjust the motor so that the
collet nut engages the center hole in
the sub-base. Allow the sub-base to
center itself on the collet nut. Tighten
the clamp screw.
3. Tighten sub-base mounting
screws securely.
CONNECTING TO THE
POWER SOURCE
CAUTION: Before connecting router to power source, ALWAYS MAKE SURE
THAT THE SWITCH IS IN THE "OFF" POSITION.
