4. Turn the power unit (F) Fig. 4 CLOCKWISE until bit touches the work.
5. Close the clamp (A) Fig. 4.
6. Rotate the depth adjusting ring
(B) Fig. 4 until the zero-line (C) is
opposite the index line (D) on the
housing.
7. Open the clamp (A) Fig. 4.
8. Tip the router so that the bit is

ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO THE ROUTER BASE
REMOVE THE BATTERY.
1. Open the clamp (A) Fig. 3 and set the power unit in the base unit.
2. Align the lower pin of the power unit (B) Fig. 3 with the groove in the
base.
3. Rotate the power unit CLOCK-WISE into the base until the upper guide
pins are set in the groove of the base.
4. Close the clamp.
ADJUSTING SUB-BASE ALIGNMENT
Applications using a templet guide require the bit to be centered in the
guide. This, in turn, requires the center hole in the sub-base to be in line with
the collet of the motor unit. Your model has an adjustable sub-base which
has been aligned at the factory. If the sub-base has been removed and/or
readjustment is required, use the following procedure:
Be sure that the power switch is in “OFF” position and the
battery is removed to avoid accidental starting of motor
which could result in personal injury.
