This gives you access for assembly. 2) Place the router lift on a firm surface with the operating side facing downwards so that the mounting unit (7) is facing upwards.
5) Check that the rebate is deep enough. The insert plate must be slightly below the level of the table top! If necessary, it must be re-milled. 6) Place the FML-BR with the mounted router in the cutout and secure it through the mounting holes provided using the threaded screws supplied.

(3) and check the alignment of the router lift again. 8.4 Levelling of the reducing plates in the FML-BR in the router table The height of the reducing plates can be adjusted by means of the supplied levelling screws (M5 x 6) inside the insertion plate so that smaller workpieces in particular do not get stuck at the transition.
10. Operation of the router in the FML-BR Observe the safety instructions in this manual before operation. 10.1 Install & change tool with router motor installed 1) Disconnect the mains plug of the milling motor from the socket. 2) Remove the reducing plates (5) via the recessed grip and turn the router lift to the upper stop.
5) Make sure that the cutter is firmly seated in the collet and does not collide with the steel reducing plate (5). 6) Make sure that the reducing plate (5) is firmly seated in the prefabricated recess. WARNING When selecting the router bit, observe the maximum cutter diameter that is permissible for the router model in question.
5) Plug in the mains plug of the router motor and switch on the router. 6) Push the workpiece past the milling cutter against the direction of routing (note the direction arrow on the FML-BR). Note a even, medium feed rate. A feed rate that is too slow produces burn marks and overheats the milling tool, a feed rate that is too fast produces an unclean milling pattern.
