Mounting Template Guides

WARNING! Disconnect tool from power
source.

For template routing the Freud FT3000 accepts
standard template guides which are available
separately. To use template guides an optional
adapter ring (Freud FT1100) must be attached
to the base plate using the two slotted screws
provided. Remove the slotted screws from the
base plate, insert the adapter ring with the flat
side toward the router body. Install and tighten
the screws to secure the adapter ring. - Fig. 17

The base plate has been centered at the
factory, however, if the base plate has been
removed and remounted some adjustment may
be necessary to center the template guides to
the router bit. To adjust, loosen the four base
plate screws that secure the base plate to the
router, reposition the base plate and tighten the
screws.

the power supply matches the voltage specified
