Re-adjusting the Thread Tensioning
The SL Router Lift features our patented thread-tensioning design,
which holds the router in position when you set the cutting
height. Thread tension is set at the factory, and depending on the
amount of use, you may have to reset this adjustment periodically.
If the bit height ever begins to drop during use, the thread
tensioning probably needs to be reset.
1.
Turn the Lift upside down, with the threaded height
adjustment rod facing you.
2.
With a 7/16" open-end wrench, loosen the 1/4"-20 hex nut
on the left side of the brass post next to the threaded rod.
Then use a hex wrench to back out the set screw that
threads through the nut until the brass tensioning
collar can be turned.

3.
Rotate the brass tensioning collar (with vertical grooves) so
it tightens against the rubber washer.
Fig. 11.
(If needed,
a drop of oil on the rubber washer can ease the rotation
of the brass collar.)
4.
Tighten the brass collar, making certain that the set screw
seats in one of the vertical grooves.
5.
Tighten the 1/4"-20 nut with the 7/16" wrench. The adjustment
is complete.
