USING THE EZ LIFT
The EZ Lift is adjusted up or down using the socket/
crank handle supplied. When making height adjustments, make
sure the socket is fully inserted on the height adjustment nut.
The Height Indicator (1435D) can be slid on to the socket and
used to indicate fractions of a turn. The height indicator can be
set to ride directly on, or slightly above, the router plate.
The half-holes, or notches, on the edge of the height indi-
cator line up with the indicator hole in the router plate of the
EZ Lift. Turn the height indicator on the socket to zero it out if
desired. See fig. 5.
Each notch in the height indicator represents 1/8th of a
turn (1/128" or .0078"), with 1/4 turn (1/64" or .0156"), 1/2 turn
(1/32" or .0313") & 3/4 turn (3/64" or .0469") engraved on the
height indicator. One full turn is equal to 1/16" or .0625". See
fig. 6.
When adjusting the bit height, lower the bit (turn crank
counter-clockwise) at least 1/4 turn past the height needed (this
compensates for any backlash), then raise it (turn clockwise)
to the desired setting. As with all routing, the best results are
achieved by making several light cuts instead of one or two
heavy cuts.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically clean the threads of the height adjustment
bolt and apply a dry lubricant (Teflon spray or similar) for the
smoothest operation. No other parts of the EZ Lift require
any lubrication. Periodically remove any accumulated debris.
Periodically check all bolts and screws on the EZ
Lift (especially after initial use) for tightness. You’ll need a
7/16" wrench and a #3 Phillips screwdriver, not supplied.
Periodically check the three screws on each of the
four glides, where indicated, for tightness. See fig. 7.
ADJUSTMENT
The two screws indicated on each of the four glides
control the tension on the tighteners, which control how
hard or easy the EZ Lift moves. The initial adjustment is
made at our factory and, under normal circumstances, the
tighteners won’t need adjustment for a year or more, if ever.
If you feel the EZ Lift moves too hard (assuming
it’s been cleaned and there is no debris causing the
problem), or too easy, these screws are where you’ll
adjust the tension on the tighteners. See fig. 8.
If you need to adjust the tighteners, first snug the screws
(use a #3 Phillips screwdriver - do not overtighten or you may
strip the tighteners). Then loosen the screws approximately
1/8th turn and test how well the EZ Lift moves by using the
crank. Tighten or loosen the screws to adjust the tension on
the tighteners according to your preference. See fig. 8.
