ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO THE ROUTER
1. CAUTION: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Open the clamp (A) Fig. 1, and set the power unit in the base unit.
3. Align the lower pin of the motor unit (B) Fig. 1 with the groove in the base.
4. Rotate the motor unit CLOCKWISE into the base until the upper guide
pins are set in the groove of the base.
5. Close the clamp.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
1. CAUTION: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Open the clamp (A) Fig. 3.
3. Hold the base (E), and turn the
motor unit (F) Fig. 3 COUNTER-
CLOCK-WISE until the tip of the bit
is above the bottom of the base.
4. Set the router on a flat surface.
5. Turn the motor unit (F) Fig. 3
CLOCKWISE until bit touches the
work.
6. Close the clamp (A) Fig. 3.
7. Rotate the depth adjusting ring
(B) Fig. 3 until the zero-line (C) is
opposite the index line (D) on the
housing.
8. Open the clamp (A) Fig. 3.
9. Tip the router so that the bit is clear of the wood surface. Turn the motor
unit (F) Fig. 3 CLOCKWISE until the index line (D) on the motor housing reaches
the desired depth indicated on the ring.
10. Close the clamp (A) Fig. 3.
NOTE: Setting the index line to 1/4" on the ring means the cutting edge of the
bit is exposed 1/4" below the base.
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. Model 690LR has an adjustable sub-base which has
been aligned at the factory. To readjust:
CAUTION: Be sure that the power switch is in the “OFF” or “O” position
and that the machine is disconnected from the power source to avoid
accidental starting of the motor which could result in personal injury.
1. Loosen the sub-base mounting screws just enough to allow the sub-base
to move on the base.
