1. Remove Pages From Book

Before installation please remove the pages required for your router from this book.

Failure to due so can result in referring to the wrong page, confusion and damaged parts!

2. Installation

The Router Raizer is designed to make the plunge router easy and enjoyable to adjust . It may appear to be complex and difficult to install, but the plunge router is an easy tool to disassemble and reassemble. Allow approximately 1 / hours for installation. For technical assistance call toll free 1-866-266-1293

3. Multiple Parts

The Router Raizer is a universal kit containing many parts you will not install into your router. Each instruction page lists the parts required for installation into that router. We advise keeping and storing all the extra parts and instructions.

4. STP® for Lubricating The Plunging Action

( After installation you will have extra parts )

( All Plunge Routers )

For maximum performance and smoothest plunging action all plunge posts require a light film of lubrication. We only recommend using STP® MOTOR OIL TREATMENT.

Before beginning the installation please purchase a bottle of STP®. Apply a light film to the posts and inside the post bushings just before reassembling the router.

1. Install the Router Raizer components into the base and motor housing of the router.

2. Before reinstalling the motor housing onto the base, use a Q tip, brush or little finger

to apply a film of STP® to the inside of both post bushings and the outside of both plunge posts.

NOTE: STP® on the posts can attract dust, but the lubricating properties are not affected. periodically wiping the posts clean and reapplying STP® to the posts only will keep the router operating smoothly.

Post Bushings

Apply light film on the inside surface of both post bushings.

Plunge Posts

Apply light film to the outside surface of both plunge posts.

5. Plunge Post Boots

Some plunge routers use rubber boots to seal the posts from dust and debris.

We recommend leaving these boots off when reassembling the router, and using the above lubrication and maintenance to keep the router operating smoothly.
