locates in the centre of
the height adjusting ring
and is secured in place
with two small screws.

after the cutter has been
installed, thus you need
to select the cover which
will pass over the cutter
with the minimum of clearance. Three covers are
supplied with the product, all with different size
clearance holes.
11. Prior to fitting the cover, always ensure the area is
free from any build up of timber cuttings from
previous operations.

adjustment ring and align the two holes in the cover
with the underlying matching holes. Fit the two
securing screws and tighten firmly.
Caution. Do not fully tighten the collet nut with the
wrench unless there is a router bit in place or you may
damage the collet.
