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,
e
specially locations that are close to adjacent
vertical surfaces, such as the tops of already-
installed counter backsplash backsplashes
(Fig. 22).
The PR004 allows routing extremely close to
vertical surface in front of tool, as close as
1/2” when 3/4” bit is used (Removal of 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. 23).
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, 25,000 RPM speed*, 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.
*13,000-RPM 25,000 when used with
PR20EVE motor.
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. 24)
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. 25)
