INSTALL HANDLES
Insert the 1-1/4" screws (MF020) thru the countersunk
holes in the plate, place a 5/8" spacer (BUSH004) and
fasten a knob (5590) on each screw. See fig. 10.
ROUTER INSTALLATION
Loosen the clamp handle in the router block and insert
your router in the router block so the end of the motor is flush
with the router block, or protruding out past it.. The router
motor should always be fully inserted in the router block!
Never insert a router motor partially in the router block! The
router motor can be repositioned anywhere in the motor block as
long as it is completely in the motor block at all times. Tighten
the clamp handle just enough to hold the router motor. Do not
over-tighten or you may damage your router. See fig. 11.
ANGLE SETTINGS
There are pin settings at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 22-1/2, 25, 30,
35, 40 & 45 degrees, or you can set your desired angle using the
scale on top of the sides as a guide. To set an angle, remove the
two pins (if used), loosen the two angle adjustment knobs and
pivot the router to the desired angle. Replace the pins (if the
angle is one of the pin settings above) and tighten the knobs.
Angle settings other than those provided can
be set using a drafting square or bevel gauge placed
between the plate and the face of the router block.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT!! Loosen the height knob nearest the
Height Adjuster just 1/4 to 1/2 of a turn and loosen the
opposite height knob 2 full turns. Retighten the knob nearest
the Height Adjuster first, then retighten the opposite knob.
Turn the crank handle on the Height Adjuster to
move the router up or down. If you cannot achieve the
desired height, you may have to reposition the router in
the router block (see router installation section above).
USING THE ANGLE EASE
There are two ratchet knobs for locking the height and
two for locking the angle. Perform one of these adjustments
at a time instead of attempting both adjustments at the same
time. Make sure your bit is locked securely in the router
collet and that all knobs are tightened securely before using.
Freehand routing can be dangerous. To reduce the
risk of injury, we recommend that you use guides to help
maintain the desired line of travel. Always maintain a
firm grip on the handles and take any other necessary
safety precautions to reduce the risk of injury.
