ADJUSTING THE SUB-BASE ALIGNMENT

Applications using a template guide require the bit to be centered within the guide, and 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. To adjust:

1.Install the 42054 Template Guide (available as an accessory) on the sub-base and tighten securely.

2.Loosen the sub-base mounting screws just enough to allow the sub-base to move on the base.

3.Install a straight 1/4" diameter bit in the collet of the motor unit and tighten securely.

4.Attach the motor unit to the base. Align the hole in the template guide with the bit and adjust the depth of cut so that the bit extends through the template guide. Tighten the motor unit in the base.

5.Tighten the sub-base mounting screws securely.
