INSTALLING MOTOR IN BASE

The motor can be installed with the switch positioned on the right or left of the base from the operator's side (and the cord facing the opposite side of the router). Install the motor so that the switch is in the location you find to be the most easily accessible from the handles. The switch should be easier to turn "OFF" than "ON" in case of an emergency.

To install motor in non-plunge base:

1.Release the base clamp lever.

2.Line up the arrow on the base with arrow on the motor. (Fig. 8)

•To position switch on the right side of the base, line up the base’s arrow with motor housing’s arrow that is below the cord.

•To position switch on the left, line up the base’s arrow with motor housing’s arrow that is below the switch.

3.While pressing the coarse adjustment lever, slide motor into base until resistance in felt. (The base’s guide pin is now engaged into slot on motor.)

4.Continue to press coarse adjustment lever, and turn the motor clockwise until it stops.

5.Push the motor into the base until it reaches the approximate desired depth.

6.Release the coarse adjustment lever and slide the motor forward or back as needed until the coarse adjustment system’s “catch” springs into the coarse adjustment detent notch.

7.Set final height position as described below in “Operating Instructions”.

To install motor in plunge base:

2.Line up the arrow on the base with arrow on the motor. (Fig. 8)
