ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING LOCK LEVER TENSION ON THE
FIXED BASE AND PLUNGE BASE ROUTER
See Figure 21, page 19.
Over time and with repeated use, the lock lever may become
loose. When this occurs, tighten the stop nut slightly. The
elastic stop nut should be loose enough so that there is
some play in the lock lever when it is in the open position.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the elastic stop nut. The lock lever
should clamp tightly to secure the motor housing.
NOTICE:
Make sure the motor housing does not move up
or down when clamped. If motor is not securely
clamped in base, adjustments will not be accurate.
WARNING:
Follow the provided proper instructions when
mounting router to a routing table. Failure to use
router tables with appropriate safety features could
result in serious personal injury. Use router tables
that are UL classified and identified suitable for use
with the specific router model.
