ATTACHING THE QUICK-CLAMP
ROUTER MOUNTING PLATE TO
THE ROUTER (Figs. 5-7)
The router mounting plate included with this
router table is designed to fit the routers in
Chart 1 on page 14. The router mounting plate
also features access holes to allow use of the
over-table height adjustment (OTA) feature on
certain router models. See Fig. 7 for OTA access
hole. Refer to your router manual for additional
information on using this feature.
I _'WARNINGI Disconnect the router
from the power supply
before installing router into the table,
making adjustments, changing
accessories, removing the router from the
table, performing maintenance, or storing
the tool. Such precautionary safety measures
reduce the risk of unintentional tool operation.
1. Remove the plastic subbase from your router.
(See Fig. 5.)
, If you wish to mount the router with the
subbase, you may need to purchase longer
fasteners. Using the subbase reduces the
range of the cutting depth.
2. If your router has its own dust extraction hood
that mounts to the top of the router base and
you want to use it under the router table, this
is a convenient time to install it.
3. Using Chart 1 on page 14, determine the
hardware and hole pattern type for your
router.
, The screws are driven into threaded holes
in the router's base.
, Other manufacturers' routers are outside of
CRAFTSMAN's control. Changes made to
these touters may affect the compatibility to
the fasteners specified and/or supplied with
this table.
, Always make sure the screw is fully seated
on the mounting plate and that the router
base is firmly against the mounting plate
to ensure secure mounting. If the router,
plate, and fasteners do not seat together
properly, you may need to purchase new
fasteners of a different length or size.
i A WARNINGI Before using the router
IAUL I table, verify that the router
is securely clamped in the router table
base. While working, periodically check
the router base fasteners clamping
tightness. Router motor vibration can loosen
fasteners during use, causing the router to fall
from the table.

4. Refer to the mounting plate guide (Fig. 7) on
page 14 and align the appropriate mounting
plate holes for your router to the router base
holes. Before you mount the router, be sure
that the router position does not interfere
with the table switch and quick-clamp router
mounting system.
5. Securely mount the quick-clamp mounting
plate (4) to your router. (See Fig. 6.)
NOTE: Mounting plate must be mounted with the
bent tabs towards the router. Plate must also be
mounted so no router parts interfere with the table
or the router mounting mechanism.
