Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and equipment to unpack the router:
•A knife or scissors (to cut the packaging straps on the shipping container)
•9/16-inch (14-mm) wrench (for chassis hold-down bolts and pallet hold-down
bracket bolts)
•3/4-inch (19-mm) socket and ratchet wrench
•Wire cutters
•Safety hand truck with retractable safety leg wheels and security strap, such
as the Stevens Appliance Truck Company “Escort,” Model STEV SR T-M-66
(distributed by McMaster-Carr as Model2654T6), or an equivalent safety
hand truck.
Unpacking the Router
Unpack the router in two phases:
•Open and disassemble the shipping package to expose the router on the
shipping pallet
•Remove the router and scissor-jack platform from the shipping pallet
These two procedures are described next.

Opening and Disassembling the Shipping Package

To expose the router on the shipping pallet, use Figure1 on page 3 as a reference
and follow these steps:
Step 1 Use a pallet jack or forklift to place the shipping container as close to the
installation location as possible. The unpacking site should be a large, open space
with a level, solid floor. The work space must be large enough to allow easy access
to all four sides of the shipping container.
