Re-adjusting the Thread Tensioning
The Router Lift FX 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 right 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.

Note: A drop of oil on the rubber washer eases 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.
