QUICKLIFT WRENCH ASSEMBLY

Attach the Handle to the end out the Quickly Wrench 2Shaft and lock in place with the included Hex Screw and Hex Key 9. figure a.

INSTALLING & LEVELING THE QUICKLIFT

1. Place the Quick Lift in the opening on your router table.

2. Initial leveling should be done with just (4) of the Set Screws, (2) each on opposite ends of the Plate. Install the (4} Set Screws 8 in the threaded holes of the plate, adjust them to flush with your table using the Hex Key 10.

3. Once the Plate feels flush to the table, use a straight edge to ensure table doesn’t catch on the edge of the Plate.

4. Install and adjust the remaining (4) Set Screws and fine tune as necessary. FIGURE B.
   
   III. INSTALLING THE ROUTER MOTOR

5. Zero out the Quick Lift Carriage by using the Quick Lift Wrench 2 (see page 3-4. Quick Lift Wrench).

6. Mount your router motor to the Quick Lift Carriage by loosening the (2) Carriage Strap Nuts. f igure c.
   

7. Place router motor flush to the Plate. Ensure the Carriage Strap is snug to the router motor by tightening (2) Carriage Strap Nuts.
   NOTE: If your router comes with offset wrenches, use a 3/4″~ 1″ spacer (not included) for vertical placement of router motor in Carriage. figure d.
   
   NOTE: The motor length will determine whether above the table bit changes are possible. Shorter motor barrels like that of the PC690, Bosch 1617/1618 and a few others are too short for above the table bit changes. Offset wrenches and collet extenders can help.

8. To lock the QuickLift to your table, hand-tighten the (2) Thumbwheel Nuts 7 to the Bolts on the underside of the Plate figure E.
   
   NOTE: For thicker tables such as MDF, install with the boss up towards the table. For thinner tables, install with the boss down away from the table . Figure e-1.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT CRANK & DIAL SCALE

Once the router motor is roughly adjusted with the Quick Lift Wrench, micro- adjust the bit height with the Crank Handle 1and the Adjustment Dial. Each full revolution of the dial equals 1/32” vertical adjustment of the router bit. For further adjustments, zero the Adjustment Dial Scale by spinning the scale with your fingers until the zero aligns with the engraving on the plate. figures G &G-1
