• Place the universal router plate onto the router and
line up the marked holes, install the machine screws
(selected earlier).
Tighten the machine screws.
NOTE:
If the machine screws (supplied) bottom out into
the router mounting holes, they will need to be shortened
to match the router.
• Use a 3/16" hex wrench and the included 5/16-18 flat
head screw to assembly the handle to the base.
Setting Up the Reversible Fence
NOTE:
Using the fence allows edge routing with bits
without bearing guides. This is also useful when cutting
rabbits or dados. The adjustable fence has a range of
2-3/4" which is very helpful when cutting multiple dados.
