Preparing the HydraPort Installation Router Guide
1.
Cut two 1/2-inch x 4-inch strips of soft, finished wood. The wood strips should be
long enough to span the distance from the installation location to the edges of the
mounting surface.
2.
Use four or more short lock nut screws to secure the router guide to the wood
strips (FIG. 5):
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the mounting surface, do not allow the screws to protrude
through the bottom of the wood strips.
Preparing the Mounting Surface
1.
Mark the desired mounting location on the mounting surface.
2.
Place the router guide/wood strip assembly on the mounting surface, and center
the assembly on the mounting location.
3.
Position a sheet of soft wood beneath the mounting surface to “sandwich” the
mounting surface with soft wood. This will protect both sides of the mounting
surface during installation (FIG. 6):
Note:
For additional protection of the mounting surface, place a layer of soft, thick
cloth between the wood strips and the surface.
4.
Once positioned, secure the router guide/wood strip assembly to the mounting
surface and under-surface wood with C-clamps.
Cutting the Hole In the Mounting Surface
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when operating the router. Failure to comply may result in
eye injury.
Use the specified guide bushing and router bit (not included):
•
Guide Bushing
: Woodcraft 144693 (.75” or 19 mm OD)
•
Router Bit
: Straight-Cut Router bit: Freud 12-128 or Whiteside 1072
(0.5” or 12mm / 12.7mm OD)
1.
Carefully measure the mounting surface to locate the desired position of the
HydraPort Base Assembly.
2.
Use the appropriate Installation Router Guide to mark the edges of the cutout.
3.
Carefully cut the opening in the table surface with the router.
• Note that very little clearance exists between the HydraPort Base Assembly and
the hole cutout in the mounting surface.
• Take care to align the cutout carefully with the edges or other appropriate
features in the table or mounting surface.
• If the cutout is misaligned, the installed unit will be misaligned.
• Take care to ensure that the top surface of the mounting surface is not damaged
beyond the width of the trim bezel as the cutout is made.
• Use an appropriate drill and drill bit to make a starting hole within the boundary
of the cutout. Use an appropriate saw, such as a jigsaw to finish the cutout.
• Make sure cutting tool used is appropriate for the material to be cut and will not
tear or chip the top surface.
• Note that the process of making the cutout will create substantial dust and
prepare the environment appropriately.
4.
File the four corners of the routing area square after routing.
