W1736 Overarm Router (Mfg. 8/10+)

Depending on the type of air fitting you have on the end

of your air hose, you may need to replace the included

male 1/4 NPT fitting with the style of 1/4 NPT fitting suit-

able for the female quick connect in your shop.

To connect your overarm router to the air compressor,

do these steps:

1. Regulate the pressure of your air compressor to 60

PSI. NEVER exceed 115 PSI when your overarm rout-

er is connected to the air compressor or damage

may occur!

2. Connect your air hose to the small hose attached to

the foot switch.

Note: If you hear any air leaks, locate the leaky fit-

tings quickly and immediately disconnect the over-

arm router from the air system. Tighten the fittings

and reconnect them to the air system. If the compo-

nents are still leaking, reinstall them with a liquid

thread sealer to ensure a sealed fit.

Connecting to Air

The purpose of a test run is to ensure that the router

motor drops while the foot switch is pressed and raises

when the foot switch is released.

Note: Before performing the test run, make sure that the

router is adjusted high enough so that it will not hit the

table pin when the foot pedal is pressed.

Perform a test run now by pushing and releasing the foot

switch.

• If the router does not perform correctly, then the

valves will likely need to be adjusted. See

Adjusting

Valves on Page 15.

Test Run

DISCONNECT air line before you

attempt to remove any air fittings.

Otherwise, serious personal injury to

you or others may occur!

If the router is plunged into the pin or

table, the router bit may break apart

sending metal fragments flying toward

the operator. Always adjust the plunge

depth correctly before operating the

overarm router.
