I2 Using the screws removed in Step 2 above, in combi_
nation with either the washers or countersunk bushings,
assemble the adapter plate Io the router if the bushing are
used the heads of the screws must be flush with, or slight-

THE TOPS OF THE SCREWS MUST NOT PROTRUDE
ABOVE THE TOP SURFACE OF THE ADAPTER PLATE
If for some reason the countersunk head screws being
used are too short, too long, or protrude above the top of
the adapter plate, obtain pan head screws that are 1/4" or
3/8" long with the proper thread from a hardware store or
DYI outlet Use these with the washers, instead of the
bushings, to assemble the adapter plate to the router
