Woodhaven 3000-3004: Planing Sleds - Manual (Page 2)

BEFORE BEGINNING
The Planing Sled must be setup and used on a flat surface.
Identify and verify that you have all the parts listed. You'll need
a 7/16" wrench for assembly. Read the instructions carefully at
least once before beginning.
ASSEMBLY - ROUTER SLED
Follow the directions in the 4973 Plate Hardware and
attach your router to the Router Plate (3000P). The router does
not need to be perfectly centered on the plate. Position your
router on the plate so the router handles (if you haven't removed
them) are parallel to one of the router plate edges and position
the router to take the best advantage of the plates mounting slots
and router control locations. Mark the position of the router on
the router plate (timing mark) so you can return it to the same
location, then temporarily remove the router. See fig. 1.
An optional drill style plate (PN 3000PD) is available for
semi-permanent mounting of your router, but it requires drilling
mounting holes in the plate.
Insert the 5/8" screws (MF006) from the underside of the
router plate through the countersunk holes. Start an oval nut
(5760B), flat side first, on the end of each screw. Slide a 6"
Ultra Track (4406) on to two of the oval nuts, position it even
with the plate at it's ends and edge, then tighten the screws.
Repeat for the second Ultra Track on the opposite side of the
router plate. See fig. 2.
Remove the paper backing and install the glide pads
(PAD1 - 2 on each track, 4 extras provided) where shown on
the outsides of each Ultra Track, next to where the plate attaches
to the track. On a 1" bolt (HB030), place two 3/8" spacers
(BUSH050) and start a knob (5590) on the end of the bolt. Slide
the bolt head in the top side T-slot of the Ultra Track. Center the
bolt in the track and lightly tighten the knob for now. Repeat
this step on the opposite Ultra Track. On four of the 3/4" bolts
(HB020), install a 3/8" spacer (BUSH050), washer (WB002)
and acorn nut (NUT006). Slide two of the bolt heads in to the
top T-slot of the Ultra Track, one on either side of the knob.
Position the spacers flush with each end of the Ultra Track and
lightly tighten the acorn nuts for now. Repeat this step on the
opposite Ultra Track, then set the Router Sled aside for now.
See fig. 3.
ASSEMBLY - BRACKETS & RAILS
Install a washer (WB002) on eight of the 1" bolts
(HB030). From the ribbed side of the Sled Bracket, insert the
bolts through the holes in the Sled Brackets (3000B - 4 pieces,
2 pairs) and start an oval nut (5760B), flat side first, on the end
of each bolt. Sliding the oval nuts into the T-slot of the Double
Track, mount a pair of Sled Brackets to both Double Tracks
(4216, 4224 or 4232 depending on model purchased). Position
the pair of brackets so they are 3-5/8" apart (measured from the
inside ends - this gap will be adjusted later), flush with the edge
of the Double Track and centered on it, then tighten the bolts.
Insert a 3/4" bolt (HB020) through the hole in the rib on each
Sled Bracket and install a washer (WB002) and ratchet handle
(5860) on the end of each bolt. See fig. 4.
