PR004 OFFSET BASE
(Included with PR20EVSNK. Also available as
optional accessory)
The PR004 Offset Base is designed for routing
in confined areas, especially for trimming
laminates in areas that are inaccessible with
the standard fixed base, such as locations that
are close to adjacent vertical surfaces like as
the tops of already-installed counter backsplash
backsplashes (Fig. 23).
The PR004 allows routing extremely close to
vertical surface in front of the tool, as close as
1/2” when 3/4” bit is used (Removal of the black
offset spindle cover further reduces distance
from 3/4” bit and vertical surface to 3/8”.) The
1-1/16” base opening makes it possible to use
bits that have cutters as wide 13/16”.
The PR004 can also be used to scribe the back
of a new counter backsplash so that it will mate
precisely with the wall against which it will rest
(Fig. 24).
Heat Build-Up
To reduce the risk of injury,
do not use the offset base
for more than 10 minutes continuously.
Prolonged continuous use will result in the tool
becoming hot to the touch.
The nature of a belt drive mechanism like the
one in the PR004 Offset Base creates more
heat than when the motor is used in its other
bases. To help minimize heat build-up, the
PR004 has been designed with large bearings,
specially-designed heat sinks, carefully-directed
airflow and plastic heat shields. Depending on
the application, the PR004 Offset Base can be
used for up to about 10 minutes continuously
before it will need to be left idle so that it can
cool off.
Motor Installation
1. Remove collet from motor and install toothed
drive pulley using collet wrench. Make sure
that drive gear is fully tightened onto the
motor’s spindle. (Fig. 25)
2. The motor is then installed into the base
according to the instructions on page 9.
3. Insert screwdriver (not included) through the
U-shaped opening in the subbase to fit belt
over drive pulley. (Fig. 26)
