Warning: This procedure requires technical skills and appropriate tools.

Completely thread a #10-32 ESNA stop nut (25) onto each of the eight #10-32 x 3/4′′ countersunk socket-head screws (29) as shown in Fig. 7A.

Place the eight assembled screws and nuts into the eight hex-shaped pockets in the recess on the tabletop as shown in Fig. 7B.

Place the router mounting plate into the opening in the tabletop so that it rests on the heads of the screws as shown in Fig. 7B.

Position a straight edge or level across the mounting plate as shown in Fig. 7C.

Insert the Allen wrench (32) through the eight round holes in the mounting plate, engaging the hex socket in the screw heads (Fig. 7C).

Raise and lower the mounting plate by turning the screws until the mounting plate is level and flush with the top of the router table.

Remove the mounting plate from the tabletop.

FINAL INSTALLATION OF THE ROUTER MOUNTING PLATE (Fig. 11)

Warning: Make sure that the router is NOT plugged into a power outlet when installing into the table, removing from table, making adjustments or changing accessories. Router could accidentally start.

Loosen the four #10-32 x 1′′ pan-head Phillips machine screws (28) holding the router mounting plate to the tabletop.

Table leg insert (7 or 8) is available

Place the table leg insert (7 or 8) into the opening in the table leg (6) so that it is positioned at the very top of the opening.

Press the insert in so that it is completely flush with the leg.

Push the insert down as far as it will go to lock it in place.

NOTE: The cord wrap panel has two tabs at the top of the panel that lock under the table top. These tabs help prevent the panel from coming unhooked when wrapping or unwrapping the cord.
