Excessive force should not be used to clamp the locking lever. Using excessive force
may damage the fixed base.
When the locking lever (I) is clamped the motor (J) should not move in the fixed base.
Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp without excessive force or if
the motor moves in the fixed base after clamping.
TO ADJUST THE LOCKING LEVER’S CLAMPING FORCE
1. Open the locking lever (I).
2. Using a hex wrench turn screw (S) in small increments.
NOTE: Turning the screw clockwise tightens the lever, while turning the screw
counterclockwise loosens the lever.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or
when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
If you need to adjust, change, or replace the subbase, a centering tool is
recommended. Refer to Accessories . The centering tool consists of a cone and a pin.
TO ADJUST THE SUBBASE
1. Loosen but do not remove the subbase screws (LL) so the subbase moves
freely.
2. Insert the pin into the collet and tighten the collet nut.
3. Insert the motor into the base and clamp the locking lever on the base.
4. Place the cone on the pin (T) and lightly press down on the cone until it stops as
shown. This will center the subbase.
