and the button head screws holding the vertical fitting loose,
slide the rods into the base of your router and slide the router
close to the Router Adapter. Ensure the vertical and horizontal
fittings do not bind. Tighten the knobs that secure the Rods into
the base of your router.

the same surface and install the attached Router Adapter into the
groove of the Clamp-N-Guide.

by unlocking the base of your router and sliding the base back and
forth on the rods. They should not bind and the Nylon Glides and
Glide Track should remain seated in the Clamp-N-Guide. If they bind
or lift the Glide Track, loosen the socket head screws and button
head screws and readjust.

If they bind or lift the Glide Track, loosen the socket head screws and button head screws and readjust.
N O TE: Depending on the size and brand of your router, you may need to use a different threaded hole in the vertical track fitting.

your router. If your router has guide rod holes, but

did not come with guide rods, you can measure

the holes with drill bits. Find the drill bit that will

freely pass through the guide rod holes without

binding. Order the guide rod size that is equal to

or slightly smaller than the drill bit.
