USING YOUR ROUT-R-LIFT™ PRESTIGE
To raise your router, turn the height adjustment handle
clockwise. To lower, turn the handle counter-clockwise.
Keep in mind that one complete revolution equals
1/16
of change. When your adjustment is complete,
rem ove the handle and place somewhere off the work
surface for safety.
With the Rout-R-Lift™ Prestige you have the added
benefit of locking your Lift in a desired position for
long term routing operations and having the
comfort in knowing the position you have set is
locked in place.

All JessEm Lifts feature our patented thread tensioning
design. Thread tension is set at the factory and depending
on the amount of use you may have to reset this
adjustment periodically, depending on the amount of
tension you desire.
If the bit height ever begins to change (or drop) during use,
the thread tensioning likely needs to be reset.
