LEVELING THE PLATE
Before adjusting the leveling
screws you need to loosen
the clamp knobs underneath
the table. There are eight set
screws around the perimeter
for adjusting the height of the
plate relative to the table. Initial
leveling should be done with
just four of the screws, two each on opposite ends of the
plate. Once the plate feels flush, use a block of wood to
make sure it doesn’t catch going either direction then ad-
just the remaining screws.
CHANGING BITS
First use the spanner
wrench to remove the Twist
Lock Ring. Now use the lift
wrench to raise the router
chuck completely above
the plate. Use the wrench-
es supplied with your rout-
er to change the bit. (Image

Winder but the process is
the same.
GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The Side Winder is made primarily from aluminum and steel
parts. The steel parts will have a light coating of petroleum
jelly when it leaves the factory. After unpacking, if necessary,
clean aluminum parts, including the main plate, with mineral
spirits or lacquer thinner. Do not use any water based cleaner.
The two steel posts should be wiped with a clean rag and
lubricated with petroleum jelly or a very light machine oil. The
flex shaft can be periodically sprayed with a lubricant such as
WD40 then wiped dry.
Minor surface rust on any steel parts can be removed with
abrasive nylon pads like a scotch bright pad. All steel parts
should be kept lubricated with petroleum jelly or thin machine
oil, particularly the posts and lift screw.
ADJUSTING THE SCALE
The adjustable scale is used
to reference the amount of
height change relative to a
starting position. One rota-
tion equals
1 ⁄
32
". Each line
equals .001". The scale
can be adjusted by apply-
ing downward finger pres-
sure then rotating it in either
direction. Built in friction
keeps it from free spinning.
Adjustable scale.
