Mount Your Router 

1.

 If you are installing the motor from a compact router, an 

  Adapter Collar is required (see page 4 for details). Insert the 

  Adapter Collar into the housing so that its lipped edge will 

  rest on the SL Router Lift housing when the lift is in the 

  upright position. If the Adapter Collar, doesn’t fit at first, 

  follow Step 4 to loosen the housing.

2.

 Insert the crank handle in the dial on the lift’s top plate. Turn 

  the crank clockwise to raise the carriage so that it just contacts 

  the O-rings at top of the carriage shafts. The carriage should 

  be all the way toward the plate.

3.

 Before installing the router motor, set the lift upside down 

  on blocks of wood so the router’s collet will be able to extend 

  through the center hole in the top plate.

4.

 If necessary, loosen the two locking nuts on the lift’s locking 

  mechanism and loosen the socket-head adjustment screw 

  with an M6 hex wrench (not included) to accept the router 

 motor.

  and the SL Router Lift, the router motor 

MUST

 

  be securely mounted in the lift’s housing. The bolts 

  securing the motor in the housing should be checked 

  and retightened, if necessary, with each use.
