Locate the anti-backlash nut (ABN). The ABN will come with (2)
M5 nylock nuts, a M5 grub screw, and a M5 jam nut in the bag.
Push the nylocks into the hexagonal holes on the face of the ABN
with the nylon facing up. Screw the grub screw into the top of
the ABN until it touches the bottom. Cap the grub screw with the
M5 jam nut. Place the ABN on the Z Plate and secure using the
M5x20 machine screws. Leave loose. Make sure the nylocks can
be seen.
Locate the z rails with bearings.
Please proceed with caution as
the ball bearings can be ejected from the block if the bearings are
slid off the rails.
The rails will have plastic or rubber blocks to
keep the bearings from sliding off. Leave them in place until told
to remove them. If the blocks are not present,
or for extra
assurance
tape both ends of the rails to keep the bearings from
sliding off. Place the z rails on a flat surface with the bearings
face up.
Place the Z Plate on top of the bearings lining up the bearings
with the 4-hole groups on the corners of the Z Plate. The ABN
should be on the same side of the Z Plate as the bearings. Secure
the Z Plate to the bearings using the M3x10 button cap screws.
Leave loose. The bottom 2 holes of the top right 4-hole group will
now get M3x10 button cap hardware. Locate the Z Engager
bracket. Secure the bracket to the Z Plate with M3x16 machine
screws using the two remaining holes on the top right of the Z
Plate. Leave loose.
Locate your router mount. The router mount will have hardware
preinstalled. Remove the 2 button cap screws and washers on
the back of the router mount. Carefully turn the Z Plate on its
side making sure the bearings stay on the rails. Place the screws
with washer through the back of the plate using the 2 remaining
holes. Attach the router to the Z Plate and tighten the router
mount screws. Place your Z Plate to the side.
