Connecting to Air

SET UP

Depending on the type of air fitting you have on the end of your air hose, you may need to replace the included male 1/4 NPT fitting with the style of 1/4 NPT fitting suit- able for the female quick connect in your shop.

To connect your overarm router to the air compressor, do these steps:

1.Regulate the pressure of your air compressor to 60 PSI. NEVER exceed 115 PSI when your overarm rout- er is connected to the air compressor or damage may occur!

2.Connect your air hose to the small hose attached to the foot switch.

Note: If you hear any air leaks, locate the leaky fit- tings quickly and immediately disconnect the over- arm router from the air system. Tighten the fittings and reconnect them to the air system. If the compo- nents are still leaking, reinstall them with a liquid thread sealer to ensure a sealed fit.

DISCONNECT air line before you attempt to remove any air fittings. Otherwise, serious personal injury to you or others may occur!

Test Run

The purpose of a test run is to ensure that the router motor drops while the foot switch is pressed and raises when the foot switch is released.

Note: Before performing the test run, make sure that the router is adjusted high enough so that it will not hit the table pin when the foot pedal is pressed.

Perform a test run now by pushing and releasing the foot switch.

If the router does not perform correctly, then the valves will likely need to be adjusted. See Adjusting Valves on Page 15.

If the router is plunged into the pin or table, the router bit may break apart sending metal fragments flying toward the operator. Always adjust the plunge depth correctly before operating the overarm router.
