Make sure that drive gear is fully tightened onto the motor’s spindle. (Fig. 24) 2. The motor is then installed into the base according to the instructions on page 9. 3. Insert screwdriver (not included) through the U-shaped opening in the subbase to fit belt over drive pulley.

Press large red spindle lock button on top of offset spindle (Fig. 26). 3. Tighten collet nut using the same collet wrench as is used on the motor’s own collet nut. (The collet used on the PR004 is the same type of self-releasing collet used on the motor itself when used with the other bases.) 4. Make a trial cut to check the depth and readjust as necessary. Using the Offset Router The principles of using the offset router are basically the same as for the regular router set-up (motor in fixed-base assembly), with the following differences 1. The offset router should be gripped with one hand gripping the motor gripping area and the other gripping resting on the top of the offset spindle holding the front of the motor (Fig. 22). 2. For routing backsplashes and other elevated workpieces, some installers mount the offset base to a wood block that matches the height of the laminated backsplash. This helps to maintain a consistent angle between the bit’s cutter and the workpiece and to provide addition stability. Offset Base Roller/Bushing Guide The PR004’s roller/bushing guide is required when edge-forming or trimming with unpiloted non-bearing bits. Attachment of Roller/Bushing Guide The PR004’s roller/bushing guide is attached using two screws with a Philips screwdriver (not included). Fig. 27 Adjustment of Roller/Bushing Guide Whether making straight or bevel cuts, the width of material removed is determined by the distance between the front of the router bit’s cutter and the front of the roller/bushing. Adjust the front of the roller/bushing as follows (Fig. 28): 1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, to adjust, loosen screw. 2. Rotate the knurled knob on back of the guide to move the roller/bushing in or out to create amount of cutter exposure needed to trim the laminate flush with the guiding surface or to create the desired bevel.

Tighten clamping screw using a Phillips screwdriver. 5. Make a trial cut to check the setting and readjust as necessary. Use of the PR004 with Roller/Bushing Guide 1. With the guide installed and adjusted, the router should be fed normally, keeping the guide in contact with the edge of the workpiece at all times. 2. To maintain a consistent width of cut, a consistent angle must be maintained between the router and the workpiece. -16 BM 2609140437 05-06 5/23/06 3:15 PM Page 17 PR005 TILT BASE (Included with PR20EVSNK. Also available as optional accessory) The PR005 Tilt Base (Fig. 29) is used for the following purposes: • Trimming laminated edges at the point that they reach adjacent vertical surface, such as a kitchen counter’s backsplash (Fig. 31). • Trimming special angles (Fig. 30) • Making bevel cuts. One method of obtaining a straight cut is to securely clamp a board or other straightedge to the work surface, and guide the edge of the router sub-base along this path (Fig. 14). Motor Installation The motor is installed according to the instructions on page 9. Angle Adjustment The total tilt range is 75., from 45. forward to 30. backward. To adjust the angle (Fig. 31): 1. Loosen the two wing screws. 2. Adjust the angle as desired using the scale on the left side of the base. Note that there are detents at every 7.5.. Whenever possible, the base should be positioned with the motor tilted toward the closed end of the base. 3. Tighten the wing screws. Be careful not to over-tighten, or the base may be damaged. Depth Adjustment The depth is adjusted according to the instructions on page 10. Using the Tilt Router The principles of using the tilt router are basically the same as for the regular router set-up (motor in fixed-base assembly), with the following difference. 1. The PR005 should always be used with a self-piloted or bearing bit. 2. The proper grip position depends on the angle of the cut and the tool. The router should be gripped with one hand gripping the motor and the other gripping the elsewhere on the back of the tool. ! WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, never grip the base directly above or next to the exposed bit. 3. When trimming edges while the bit is tilted toward the direction of feed, it is extremely FIG. 29 FIG. 30 FIG. 31 Wing Screw Scale Wing Screw important to keep the base square with the surface to be routed. If the tilt router is shifted in the direction of the surface it is riding on, the upper part of th...
