MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLE FENCE, DUST PORT AND TABLE

Powertec Trim Router Table 71392

From the underside of the fence, insert the two T-Bolts up and through the holes on each end the fence. Place a 5/16" washer on each T-Bolt and then thread on the fence lock knobs. Do not tighten the knobs.
Attach the Powertec 70152 dust port to the back of the fence using the pan head screws and 1/4" washers. Figure 2
Optional mounting: The trim router table may be attached to a longer board or cleat for clamping to a stationary work surface. If using this method, add the cleat now. There are pre-drilled cleat mounting holes at the rear of the trim router table. Drive #8 screws through the three cleat mounting holes and into the cleat.
NOTE: The screw length should be the thickness of the trim router table plus the cleat) Figure 3
Install the fence to the table. Make sure the T-Bolt heads extend down far enough to fit into the fence adjustment slots in the table. Insert the T-Bolt heads into the round access holes in the tabletop, engage the heads in the stepped slots on the underside of the table and slide the fence toward the back.
NOTE: To adjust the fence, loosen the knobs, slide the fence to the desired application and tighten knobs. Figure 4
WARNING: The trim router table MUST be clamped or attached directly to a stationary work surface BEFORE operating the router. Figure 5 shows the trim router table with cleat clamped to a stationary work surface.
Clamp or Attach the Table to Stationary Work Surface:
- If the cleat was assembled earlier, clamp it to the edge of a bench, table, piece of plywood or other stationary work surface.
- The table may be attached directly to a stationary work surface. Drive #8 screws through the three cleat mounting holes and into the stationary work surface.
  IMPORTANT: The screw length will be determined by the work surface thickness. The general rule is for the screw to enter at least half the thickness of the bottom material/work surface. Figure 5
Install the three leveling screws from the bottom into the holes on the lip of the opening in the table.
NOTE: These screws are used to make the router base flush with the face of the tabletop. These screws will also register the three stopped holes in the underside of the trim router base to keep it from shifting during use. Figure 6

ASSEMBLY THE TRIM ROUTER BASE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn router off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
NOTE: This clear router plate provides better visibility and when used with a PORTER-CABLE style guide bushing (sold separately) it allows a bit to follow the path intended by a template or jig.

NOTE: The trim router base can be left on the router, allowing it to be taken from table routing to hand held routing without switching baseplates.

Remove the existing router plate and all related hardware from the router.
On the chart find the model and the corresponding letter for your router.
Find the corresponding letters for your router in Figure 7.
NOTE: Some routers have more than one option.
Place the universal router plate onto the router and line up the first letter with the appropriate hole and then rotate the plate until all holes for the pattern line up. Install and tighten the machine screws.

Make sure the leveling screws are seated in the three stopped holes on the underside of the router base to prevent the base from shifting during use. Figure 9
Attach the bit guard to the front of the fence using the bit guard knobs.
NOTE: To adjust the bit guard, loosen the knobs, slide the bit guard up and down to desired application and tighten knobs. To temporarily remove the bit guard, slightly loosen the bit guard knobs and slide the guard up and over
the knobs.
