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.

If the bit cuts freely and the motor does not slow down, the cutting depth is generally correct. GUIDING THE ROUTER The router can be guided through the work in any of several ways. The method you use depends, of course, on the demands of the particular job and on convenience. For routing operations such as grooving or dadoing, it is often necessary to guide the tool in a line parallel to a straight edge. One method of obtaining a straight cut is to securely clamp a board or other straightedge t

Otherwise, the router can be damaged.) (Fig. 8) 4. Move motor into base until the approximate desired depth has been reached. (Fig. 8) 43FIG. 8 5. Turn motor clockwise about 1/4” until single triangle lines up with “locked” symbol. (Fig. 9) 6. Close the clamping lever. Always make sure the motor sits tightly in the base. (The tension of the clamping lever can be changed by re-adjusting the nut.) (Fig. 9) 56FIG. 9 CHECK SUBBASE LOCATION Make sure that the bit and its cutter are centered in the su

It is advisable to retract the bit whenever it is not engaged in workpiece.

To unlock the coarse adjustment knob, move the coarse adjustment lock to the left. (counter-clockwise). 2. Rotate the coarse adjustment knob clockwise to lower the depth

The collet chuck is made up of two component parts as illustrated (Fig. 5); check to see that the collet is properly seated in the collet chuck nut and lightly thread the collet chuck back onto the armature shaft. Replace worn or damaged collet chucks immediately.

The deluxe router guide is supplied with two rods and screws to fasten the guide (Fig. 27). In addition, it features a fine adjustment knob and indicator for accurately positioning the edge guide relative to the bit. With the guide installed and adjusted, the router should be USE IN ROUTER TABLE Your router can also be used in a router table. The RA1161 fixed base is designed to allow easy depth adjustment in a table. The RA1162 "D" D-Handle base will not fit in most router tables. !CAUTION The

2). TO LOCK SWITCH ON: Squeeze trigger, depress button and release trigger. TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH: Squeeze trigger and release it without depressing the “Lock- ON” button. !WARNING If the “Lock-ON” button is continuously being depressed, the trigger cannot be released. On models 1617 & 1618 hold the tool with both hands while starting the tool, since torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist. SOFT START FEATURE (Models 1617EVS & 1618EVS only) Electronic feedback control minimizes torque t

To attach, place deflector into position as shown in (Fig. 10). Then flex sides of deflector while pushing until it snaps into place. The plunge base’s chip shield can also be flipped out.

(Pan-head screws have rounded tops.) Follow steps 1-8. FIG. 18 OTHER BASES 1. Position the sub-base so that its pan-head screw holes are over the matching set of threaded holes in the base. 2. Insert the pan-head screws, not the flathead screws, through the sub-base and tighten them until they are snug, but still al
