W1736 Overarm Router

Installing Router

SET UP

The adapters included with the Model W1736 are designed for most common sizes of Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch, Porter-Cable, and Dewalt routers that have detachable bases.

To install a router motor into the overarm router assembly, do these steps:

1.Remove your router motor from its base and mea- sure the diameter of the router motor or the base from which it was removed. (If your router size does not closely match any of the adapters, you may not be able to safety mount your router motor on the Model W1736.)

2.Slide the correct size adapter over the router motor, as shown in Figure 9, aligning any pins in the router with the slots in the adapter and making sure that the adapter lip is toward the top part of the router.

Note: The adapter must have a snug fit all the way around the router body or it will not secure to the housing properly. Refer to Figure 10 to ensure a proper fit.

3.Insert the router motor/adapter assembly into the housing on the overarm router assembly.

4.Using a 6mm hex wrench, tighten the cap screw at the front of the housing to secure the router motor (see Figure 11).

5.Check that the router motor is tightly secured in the housing by pulling on it to see if it can be pulled out of the housing.

If the router motor is loose or can be pulled out of the housing, then it is not fastened correctly or installed with the correct adapter. Remove the router and try refastening it, or remeasure your router and ensure that you are using the correct adapter.

If the router motor cannot be pulled out by hand, then proceed with the rest of the setup process.

Note: If the router is contacting the table in the down position, adjust the plunge depth knob (see Page 3) so the router will not contact the table in the down posi- tion.
