W1736 Overarm Router (Mfg. 8/10+)
The adapters included with the Model W1736 are
designed for most common sizes of Makita, Milwaukee,
Bosch, Porter-Cable, and Dewalt routers that have
detachable bases.
To install a router motor into the overarm router
assembly, do these steps:
1. Remove your router motor from its base and mea-
sure the diameter of the router motor or the base
from which it was removed. (If your router size does
not closely match any of the adapters, you may not
be able to safety mount your router motor on the
Model W1736.)
2. Slide the correct size adapter over the router
motor, as shown in Figure 9, aligning any pins in
the router with the slots in the adapter and making
sure that the adapter lip is toward the top part of
the router.
Note: The adapter must have a snug fit all the way
around the router body or it will not secure to the
housing properly. Refer to Figure 10 to ensure a
proper fit.
3. Insert the router motor/adapter assembly into the
housing on the overarm router assembly.
4. Using a 6mm hex wrench, tighten the cap screw at
the front of the housing to secure the router motor
(see Figure 11).
5. Check that the router motor is tightly secured in the
housing by pulling on it to see if it can be pulled out
of the housing.
• If the router motor is loose or can be pulled out
of the housing, then it is not fastened correctly
or installed with the correct adapter. Remove the
router and try refastening it, or remeasure your
router and ensure that you are using the correct
adapter.
• If the router motor cannot be pulled out by hand,
then proceed with the rest of the setup process.
Note: If the router is contacting the table in the down
position, adjust the plunge depth knob (see Page 3) so
the router will not contact the table in the down posi-
tion.
