EZ Lift
Owners Manual
Please Read Carefully!
BEFORE BEGINNING
Identify and verify that you have all the parts listed. Read the owners
manual at least once, familiarizing yourself with the EZ Lift before using.
The 1435, 1436 & 1437 EZ Lift is designed for tables with a 9-1/4"
x 11-3/4" plate opening. It is guaranteed square to the plate to within
1/4º and has 3-3/8" of fine adjustment, plus the coarse adjustment of
your router motor. There is no assembly needed, just remove your router
motor from its’ existing base and install it in the motor block of the EZ
Lift (see instructions). The EZ Lift will only fit the routers listed below:
Router Model Fits: 1435 EZ Lift 1436 EZ Lift 1437 EZ Lift
Porter Cable 7518 No Yes No
Milwaukee 5625 No No Yes
Porter Cable 892 Yes w/1436A w/1437A
Porter Cable 690 Yes w/1436A w/1437A
DeWalt 616/618 Yes w/1436A w/1437A
Bosch 1617/1618 Yes w/1436A w/1437A
INSTALL ROUTER MOTOR
Install the socket (1435S) on the square drive of the crank
handle (1435HX). Place the socket/crank handle on the nut of
the motor tightening bolt and loosen it (turn counter-clockwise)
3-4 turns. See fig. 1.
Get your router motor and slip it into the motor block of
the EZ Lift so it projects out the plate side of the motor block
3/4" to 1". You may have more than one choice as to which way
to install the router motor, so select the position that places the
cord and switch in the best possible position for you. The router
motor can be adjusted for height in the motor block later (coarse
adjustment) to better suit above-the-table bit changes, etc., but
ALWAYS make sure the router motor is fully inserted in the
motor block! See fig. 2.
Place the socket/crank handle on the nut of the motor
tightening bolt and tighten (turn clockwise) the router motor in
the motor block. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! See fig. 1.
To remove the router, use the crank handle to loosen the
motor tightening bolt 2-3 turns, then tap on the end of the nut
with the socket (or a block of wood) until the router is free.
This same socket/crank handle is also used to adjust the
router/bit height on the EZ Lift. Never use a power tool connected to the socket!
USING THE 1436A OR 1437A ADAPTER
If using an adapter (1436A or 1437A) to reduce the opening in the 1436 or 1437 EZ Lift for use with a 3-1/2" motor,
make sure the slot in the adapter is facing the height adjustment
mechanism of the EZ Lift before tightening. See fig. 4.
