Additional tools requir ed to mount your router to the Rout-R-Lift: Cross-point (P hillips) screwdriver

Tools required for adjus tment:

7/16" Open End Wrench

Mounting Your Router to the Rout-R-Lift

1. Turn your Rout-R-Lift upside down on the

table. With the 5/32 hex wrench supplied, remove the four 1/4-20 x 1 flat head cap screws (Figur e 1) and remov e the aluminum carriage plate. (NOTE: If the screws are blocked, crank the Rout-R-Lift with the adjustment handle until all four screws are exposed.)

2. Remove the master ring from the carriage

plate, by f irst removing t he six 1/4-20 x 3/4 flat head machine screws that secure the clamping brack ets to the aluminum carri age plate (Fig. 2).

3. Remove the sub-base and screws that

attach the sub-ba se to yo ur rout er. NOT E: If your sub-base cannot be removed, just remove the screws that will be used to attach your r outer to the master ring.

4. Lay the master ring on a flat surface with the

countersunk holes and t he engraving f acing upwards and with t he engraved "T" to the top and the engraved " B" to the bot tom.

Figure 1

Figure 2

5. Pages 14-15 show a series of drawings of

the master r ing with the holes shaded sol id to match many differ ent routers. Locat e y our router and then locate the proper holes in the master r ing usi ng the dra wing a s an ai d. With a f elt tip marker or pencil, mark a l ine on the master r ing for each hole that you will be using for your router.

6. With the holes marked on the master ring,

place the master ring on the base of your router and rotate it to line up the correct holes in your router. Don't worry about handle locati on at this point as that can be set when the master ring is re-attached to the aluminum carriage plate.

7. The master ring is 1/4" thick and may

prevent your screws that come with your router from engaging your r outer sufficiently. If this is the case, source longer flat head screws from your local hardware or automotive parts supplier. With the screws you removed from your r outer (or the longer screws which you acquired) attach the master ring to your router (Fig. 3). Lightly secure the screws at fi rst to ensure that t he master ring will locate in the c enter of your router, and t hen tighten securely.

8. You must now re-attach the m aster ring to

the aluminum carriage plate. With the carriage plate upside down in front of you, slide the master ring with router attached into place to engage the recess of the carriage plate (Fig. 4).

At this point , take note of the handle location and on/off switch to ensure they are in the best location for use. You can rotate the router at this point to have it in the best possible l oc ation for use. Once satisfied with the router location, place one of the clamping brackets into the correct location and feed one of the 1/4-20 x 3/ 4" flat head screws from under the aluminum carriage plate and thread i nto the clamping br acket. Repeat this step f or the other five clampi ng brackets.

9. Once the brackets are in place, securely

tighten the six 1/4-20 x 3/4" screws.

Figure 3

Figure 4

10. Using the 1/4-20 x 1" flat head screws

(removed in step 1) , re-install the car ri age to the Rout-R-Lift (Fig. 5). NOTE: Use the socket head cap screws as loc ating pi ns for easier instal lation of the carriage.

Your router should now be installed onto the Rout-R-Lift.

NOTE: It is unlikely that y our rout er wil l not fit one of the hole patt er ns on the m aster ri ng. However, if it will not match, new holes will have to be drilled. Pr oc eed as follows:

1. Remove the master ring from the carriage

plate (see step #2 above) and place it engraved side down.

2. Center your router's sub-base onto the

master ring, and rotate the sub-base until there is mi nimal interf erence wit h any of t he pre-drilled holes in the ring.

3. Clamp the sub-ba se to the master ring and

use the sub-base holes as a templ ate t o dr ill the holes into the master ring. Use a bit slightly lar ger than your sub-base screws.

4. Rem ove the cl amps and flip t he master r ing

over so the engraved si de with the "T" and "B" is now face up.

5. Countersink the holes to suit the r outer' s fl at

head screws. (NOTE: If the router you are mounting does not have flat head screws holding the sub-ba se, then source flat head screws that mat c h at a local suppli er .)

6. Continue the assembly proc ess according to

the instructions under "Mounting Your Router..."

Figure 5

Leveling the Rout-R-Lift

Included wit h your Rout -R-Lif t are t en 1/ 4-28 set screws and 1/8 hex wrench. These set screws can be used to level your Rout-R-Lift to the table; t hread the set scre ws into the ten tapped holes in your Rout-R-Lift from above using the 1/8 hex wrench provided ( Fig. 6).

Figure 6

Mounting the Deluxe Fence Assembly

1. Take the three button head Phillips screws

and put one through each hole on the vertic al side of the aluminum fence support (Fig. 7). There are thr ee holes on each si de of the f ence support; do one side at a time. Start the square nuts on each screw. Do not tighten, leave loose for installation.

2. Take one fence extension assembly and

install onto the fence support (Fig. 8). The holes are staggered f or easy installation.

Figure 7

Figure 8

3. Slide assembly along the f ence support unt il

it stops at the fence guard bridge (Fig. 9). Securely fasten t he screws.

4. Take the remaining three button head

Phillips scre w and perform steps 1, 2 and 3 on the other side of the fence support .

5. Install the 1/4-20 x 1 flat head screws and

square nuts into the holes in the MDF Subfences, leaving clearance under the nuts. Mount the S ubfence by sliding the nuts into the T-Slot of the fence extension (Fig.

10).

Figure 9

Figure 10

NOTE: The MDF Subfences can be mounted either on the left or right but the screws should be closest to the center of the fence once installed (Fig. 11).

The sub-fence is adj usted by loosening the two flat head screws on the front of each MDF board. O nce loosened, slide t he board to the desired openi ng. Securely tighten t he flat head screws.

6. Mount the adjustable fence guard to the

bridge on the fence bracket with the two fence guard knobs (Fig. 12).

Figure 11

7. Mount the assembled fence to the main

plate of the ROUT-R-LIFT with one fence knob in each of the threaded holes in the top corners of the plate (Fig. 13).

8. The vacuum attachment is sized to accept

standard 2-1/4" vacuum hose or a dust collector adaptor (see your local Powermatic dealer f or adaptors). To install hose on the vacuum attachment, press nozzle down slightly on the fl exibl e arms and pivot inward (Fig. 14).

Using Your Rout-R-Lift

Always turn router off and

disconnect router from pow er source befo re making any height adju st ment.

1. Depending on the si ze of the router bit you

are using it may be desirable to use an insert ri ng to reduc e the siz e of t he opening. To install the insert ri ng place the insert i nto the opening of t he main plate, then with the insert wrench turn counterclockwise to tighten (then remove the insert wrench). See Fig. 15.

2. With the router bit installed, place the

adjustment handle into the access port in the main plat e (Fig. 16).

Figure 15

3. Bring the bit fl ush to the t able top.

4. To raise your router, turn the adjustment

handle clockwise; to lower turn the adjustment handle counterclockwise. Keep in mind that one complete revoluti on of the adjustment handle equals 0.050" or 1/20". See Fig. 17.

5. Make the desired height adjustment. When

your adjustment is complete, remove the adjustable handle.

6. A start ing pi n is provi ded to assist i n certai n

freehand operations when the fence is not used. Thread the pin into the router plate with a screwdriver (Fig. 18).

Figure 16

Figure 17

Figure 18

Modification for Height Adjustment Tension

Disconnect router from power

source.

The height adjustm ent tension is set at the factory; however, if you find the tension is too loose and the router' s hei ght adjustment moves when routing, then modification is as follows:

1. Turn your Rout-R-Lift upside down on a

table (Fig. 19) .

2. With a 7/16 open end wrench, loosen the

1/4-20 hex nut (Fi g. 20). Then back out the set screw with the 1/8 hex wrench.

Figure 19

3. Rotate the brass anti-backlash nut so it

tightens agai nst the rubber washer (Fig. 21). NOTE: A drop of oil on the rubber washer eases the rotation of the brass nut against the washer.

4. Make certain when you have finished

tightening the brass anti-backlash nut that one of the slots on the nut is centered t o the set screw. This ensures that the set screw will protrude into the slot of the antibacklash nut. S ee Fig. 21.

5. Snug the set screw, then ti ghten the 1/4-20

hex nut (that you loosened in step 2) .
