INSTALLING MOTOR IN BASE
The motor can be installed with the switch
positioned on the right or left of the base from
the operator's side (and the cord facing the
opposite side of the router). Install the motor
so that the switch is in the location you find to
be the most easily accessible from the
handles. The switch should be easier to turn
"OFF" than "ON" in case of an emergency.

cord.
• To position switch on the left, line up the
base’s arrow with motor housing’s arrow
that is below the switch.
3. While pressing the coarse adjustment
lever, slide motor into base until resistance
in felt. (The base’s guide pin is now
engaged into slot on motor.)
4. Continue to press coarse adjustment lever,
and turn the motor clockwise until it stops.
5. Push the motor into the base until it
reaches the approximate desired depth.
6. Release the coarse adjustment lever and
slide the motor forward or back as needed
until the coarse adjustment system’s
“catch” springs into the coarse adjustment
detent notch.
