W1736 Overarm Router
Depending on the type of air fitting you have on the end
of your air hose, you may need to replace the included
male 1/4 NPT fitting with the style of 1/4 NPT fitting suit-
able for the female quick connect in your shop.
To connect your overarm router to the air compressor,
do these steps:
1. Regulate the pressure of your air compressor to 60
PSI. NEVER exceed 115 PSI when your overarm rout-
er is connected to the air compressor or damage
may occur!
2. Connect your air hose to the small hose attached to
the foot switch.
Note: If you hear any air leaks, locate the leaky fit-
tings quickly and immediately disconnect the over-
arm router from the air system. Tighten the fittings
and reconnect them to the air system. If the compo-
nents are still leaking, reinstall them with a liquid
thread sealer to ensure a sealed fit.
Connecting to Air
The purpose of a test run is to ensure that the router
motor drops while the foot switch is pressed and raises
when the foot switch is released.
Note: Before performing the test run, make sure that the
router is adjusted high enough so that it will not hit the
table pin when the foot pedal is pressed.
Perform a test run now by pushing and releasing the foot
switch.
• If the router does not perform correctly, then the
valves will likely need to be adjusted. See Adjusting
Valves on Page 15.
Test Run
DISCONNECT air line before you
attempt to remove any air fittings.
Otherwise, serious personal injury to
you or others may occur!
If the router is plunged into the pin or
table, the router bit may break apart
sending metal fragments flying toward
the operator. Always adjust the plunge
depth correctly before operating the
overarm router.
