ADJUSTING SUB-BASE ALIGNMENT

Applications using a templet guide require the bit to be centered within 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, proceed as follows:

DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

1.Install 42054 Templet Guide (available as an accessory) to the subbase and tighten securely.

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

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

4.Assemble motor unit to base, align hole in templet guide with 1/4" diameter bit and adjust depth of cut so that bit extends through templet guide. Tighten motor unit in base.

5.Tighten sub-base mounting screws securely.
