STEP 15. Install the brake knob into the threaded hole in
the handle. (Figure 15). Do not tighten the brake knob until
it’s needed. It’s typically used when doing heavy routing.

STEP 16. Rotate the crank handle so that the set screws in
the coupling on the other end of the flex shaft align to the
flat spot on the lift rod. Slip the coupling onto the lift rod
and tighten the screw. (Figure 16).

TESTING THE CRANK ASSEMBLY

Test the crank assembly by slowly turning the handle and
watching the round scale on the top of the lift. If the scale
isn’t turning when you’re rotating the crank handle then one
of the set screws isn’t tight. It’s most likely to be one of the
set screws at either end of the flex shaft locking it to the
coupling. Double check that those two screws are tight.
After that make sure that the set screws in the handle and
couplings are against the flats on each shaft.

SIDE WINDER INSTALLATION ON
NON-WOODPECKERS

ROUTER TABLE STANDS.

Side Winder can be installed on non-

cabinets and router table stands. The

above illustration shows the general location of the crank
handle relative to the router table top and router lift. It’s rec-
ommended that the side panel be mounted in its entirety
and not disassembled.

STEP 14. From the outside, slip the crank handle onto the
pin, align the end of the pin with the face of the handle,
align the set screw with the flat spot on the pin and tighten
the screw. (Figure 14).
Double check that the handle has a little bit of in and out
play. If it’s tight, the handle will not crank freely.

Figure 13.

STEP 13. Apply a dab of grease to the outside of the pin
and insert it through the hole in the bolt. This will take
some effort. Be careful not to kink the flex shaft. Bend
it just enough to get the pin through the hole. Optionally
you can loosen the large bolt holding the bracket to the
side panel. Do not completely remove the bolt. When fin-
ished make sure the bracket is hanging straight down and
re-tighten the large bolt. (Figure 13).
