ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO THE ROUTER BASE

REMOVE THE BATTERY.

1.Open the clamp (A) Fig. 3 and set the power unit in the base unit.

2.Align the lower pin of the power unit (B) Fig. 3 with the groove in the base.

3.Rotate the power unit CLOCK-WISE into the base until the upper guide pins are set in the groove of the base.

4.Close the clamp.

ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT

REMOVE THE BATTERY .

1.Open the clamp (A) Fig. 4.

2.Hold the base (E) and turn the power unit (F) Fig. 4 COUNTER-CLOCK- WISE until the tip of the bit is above the bottom of the base.

3.Set the tool on a flat surface.

4.Turn the power unit (F) Fig. 4 CLOCKWISE until bit touches the work.

5.Close the clamp (A) Fig. 4.

6.	Rotate the depth adjusting ring				F
(B) Fig. 4 until the zero-line (C) is		B
opposite the index line (D) on the
housing.			C
7.	Open the clamp (A) Fig. 4.				E
8.	Tip the router so that the bit is
clear of the wood surface. Turn the
power unit (F) Fig. 4 CLOCKWISE
until the index line (D) on the motor
housing reaches the desired depth		A
indicated on the ring.
9. Close the clamp (A) Fig. 4.				Fig. 4

NOTE: Setting the index line to 1/4" on the ring means the cutting edge of the bit is exposed 1/4" below the base.

ADJUSTING SUB-BASE ALIGNMENT

Applications using a templet guide require the bit to be centered in the guide. This, in turn, requires 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 which has been aligned at the factory. If the sub-base has been removed and/or readjustment is required, use the following procedure:

Be sure that the power switch is in “OFF” position and the battery is removed to avoid accidental starting of motor which could result in personal injury.
