ƒ To adjust the web, locate the stop plate bolt on the rear right side of the yellow clamp

guard on top of the machine. This is a black metal plate that extends up through the case
top alongside the clamp guard. You will find a nylock nut that secures the black router
stop plate to the clamp guard housing. Loosen this nut and slide the black stop plate
toward the rear of the machine slightly to shorten the web. To increase the web, slide this
plate toward the front of the machine. Be sure to tighten the nylock nut securely when
you have finished adjusting the router stop plate to prevent shifting during operation.

Changing the bits on your machine


To change the bit on either your drill or your router you will need to remove the motor from the
carriage. You do not need to take the tabletop off to change the bits.

ƒ Open the rear door and look at the black drill motor at the top of the carriage.

ƒ Just to the right of that is a black T-Knob that tightens on a large U-Bolt that holds the

router in place.

ƒ Un-Plug the motor you wish to change.

ƒ If changing the bit on the router, loosen the T-Knob a few turns to provide enough slack

to drop the motor down and then out the rear door. (Figure 10)
