MARK V – MOUNTED OVERARM PIN ROUTER 555970
13
RE-INSTALL THE MARK V
WORKTABLE
Loosen the Table Tilt Lock Lever, tilt your
Table to 90° (as you would when setting up
for Drill Press) and tighten the Lever. Install
the Worktable in the Carriage, slide it “back”
until its edge is 3" from the Way Tubes.
Tighten the Table Height Lock.
Place a piece of scrap plywood or cardboard
on your table. With the Overarm Router’s
Deflector (20) resting on your MARK V’s
Worktable surface (See Fig. 2), position the
semi-circular cut-outs of the Brackets (29)
against the Way Tubes. Hold the assembly
in position while you screw the two 3" long
x 3/8" dia. socket head capscrews through
the Clamps (30) and into the threaded holes
in the Mounting Brackets (29). See Fig. 3.
Adjust the Overarm’s position so the Depth
Stop Rod Knob doesn’t collide with the end
of the MARK V’s Quill when the Stop Rod
is adjusted to its full “up” position and
tighten the two large capscrews using a
5/16" Allen wrench.
INSTALL YOUR ROUTER MOTOR
IN THE OVERARM
Remove your Router motor from its base (see
instructions included with your router.)
Place the motor between the front and rear
motor Brackets on the Overarm until it bot-
toms out against the Deflector (20) . . . then
raise it approximately 1/8" to allow for
proper air circulation.
CAUTION
Always position the Router Motor so it is
raised about 1/8" off the Deflector to al-
low for proper airflow and cooling dur-
ing operation. Without this 1/8" clearance,
overheating and damage to your router
motor will result.
Use a 7/16" open end wrench to tighten the
two Motor Bracket nuts (See Fig. 4). Be sure
your router’s switch is located for easy ac-
cessibility during operations . . . and that none
of the small lugs or other protruding parts
on the motor’s housing interfere with a good
“seating” in the Motor Brackets. When posi-
tioning your router motor, be sure its collet
or bit locking nuts are accessible without the
need for additional motor adjustments.
