The WR525 can be mounted to a variety of machines in a number of different ways. These instructions
demonstrate the WR525 mounted to a router lift that is laying upside down on its top plate.

The “L” bracket and the magnet bracket can be attached the scale and sensor in many different ways
(FIG 1-2). Determine the best way for your particular situation.

The “L” bracket attaches to the top of the Scale

2- Permanently attached the scale and sensor to the lift

Center punch the screw locations and use the 3.6mm drill bit and the M4 x 8mm long thread forming
screws to attach the scale to the top plate (FIG 5) and the magnet bracket to the carriage (FIG 6). Put a
drop of oil on the end of the screws and use a nut driver to force the screws into the holes while turning
slowly.

Using a square make sure the scale is perpendicular to the top plate. If needed you may have to carefully
bend the “L” bracket to get perfect alignment. Fully tighten all screws to hold the system in position.
