Assembly Instructions
(Steps below correlate to images shown later in manual)
1.
Attach the two side panels (Parts #3 and #11) to
the front panel (Part #14) using six 10-32 x ¼”
Button head Screws (Part #1). All flanges should
be faced up and inward (assembling the dust box
upside down)
.x
2.
Attach the bottom panel (part #13) to the
assembly created in step 1 using eight 10-32 x ¼”
button head screws. Make sure the threaded
inserts attached to the base are pointed
downward, away from the flanges on the front
and side panels.
x
3.
Attach the back panel (part #4) to the rest of the
dust box assembly using eight 10-32 x ¼” button
head screws. Once again, the flange should be
facing up and inward.
x
4.
Slide the round end of the hinge brackets (part
#18) through the slots on the front panel, with
the oblong side of the protruding part facing
towards the door opening. Use two 10-32 x ¼”
Screws per hinge to attach them to the front
panel. leave the screws slightly loose until the
door is mounted.
x
5.
Use the two door pivot bolts (Part # 17) and two
10-32 lock nuts (Part #16) to attach the dust box
door. Tighten the hinge screws once the door is
attached. Adjust the lock nuts until the door
swings freely with minimal play.
x
6.
Use six 10-24 x ½” screws (Part # 8) to attach the
two halves of the dust collection port together
(Parts #9 and #10).
x
7.
Attach the dust port to the dust box using
four 10-32 x 1/4” Screws, ensuring the larger
round opening is facing the bottom of the
dust box (up).
x
Use four 10-32 x ¼” Screws to attach the wire
plate (part # 7) to the back of the dust box.
x
x
Select which hose plates (Part # 6) you will
use and connect them to the dust box using
six 10-32 x ¼” Screws. If using a JessEm Pow-
R-Tek Router, use the plates with a hose
adapter. Otherwise, use the solid plates with
no opening.
x
Select which Excel handle cover (Part #12)
you plan to use and attach it to the side of
the dust box using two 10 - 32 x ¼” Screws.
Use the solid plate unless you plan to use a
Mast-R-Lift Excel.
x
8.
Attach the mounting brackets (Part #5) to
your table top. Six 10-24 x ½” Screws are
used with JessEm predrilled phenolic tops, or
you may wish to use your own button head
screws for attaching the dust box to a custom
top. Leave these screws loose until the dust
box is attached to the brackets.
x
Older JessEm table tops will not have
predrilled holes for the dust box. If this is the
case and you plan to use the screws
provided, predrill holes approximately 5/8”
deep using a #19 drill bit (0.166”). Be careful
not to drill completely through the table top.
x
9.
Attach the dust box to the brackets using four
10 – 32 x ¼” Screws. Tighten the screws from
step 8. If using a Mast-R-Lift Excel, the lift will
be connected to the top. Disconnect the
handle shaft at the connector near the gear
box and slide it out to get clearance for
instillation. Once the dust box is installed
loosely, the remaining shaft from the gearbox
should be protruding from the Excel cover
(part 12). reattach the connector to the gear
box. Align the dust box so that the shaft does
not touch the excel plate and tighten the dust
box mounting screws.
