Installing/Removing Sub-bases
Fixed sub-bases (black):
To remove the sub-base, remove the sub-base
screws. To install the sub-base, secure it with the
sub-base screws.
Adjustable sub-bases (clear):
To ensure the sub-base is centered, use the center-
ing cone and pin whenever tightening, adjusting,
or changing the adjustable sub-base.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Install the sub-base and screws, but do not
tighten them.
3. Lower the motor until the collet is about 1" above
the base.
4. With the router upside down, insert the pin into
the cone, then into the collet (see Fig. 8 for cor-
rect orientation). Tighten the collet.
5. Push the cone down firmly. The sub-base will
center.
6. While pressing down on the cone, tighten the
sub-base screws.
7. Remove the centering pin from the collet. Save
the pin and cone for future use.
8. To remove the sub-base, remove the sub-base
screws.

4. Slide the rods through the base rod holes and
into the port rod holes.
NOTE: Use either the rods supplied with the dust
collection port or rods from a MILWAUKEE edge
guide.
5. Tighten the rod screws.
6. Twist a vacuum hose into the end of the port.
Templet Guides
A 1-3/16" center hole sub-base is needed to use
a template guide.
To install a templet guide, insert the guide into the
center hole of a 1-3/16" router base and secure
according to the templet guide instructions.

Installing the Dust Collection Port (not available
on Cat. No. 5625-20)
1. If an edge guide has been installed, it must be
removed temporarily to install the dust collection
port.
2. Loosen the rod screws.
3. Place the router upright and set the circle into
the base (Fig. 9).
Warning
To reduce the risk of
injury, do not use the dust collection port
when plunge cutting if the bit is larger than
the port opening (1-3/8"). If a rotating router
bit contacts the dust collection port, the port
will break and flying debris may cause injury.
Warning
To reduce the risk of
injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields.
Always unplug the tool before attaching or re-
moving accessories or making adjustments.
Use only specifically recommended acces-
sories. Others may be hazardous.
Never use bits larger than the smallest of
the openings in the base, sub-base, or dust
collection port.
Installing the Bit
It is not necessary to remove the motor from the
base to install a collet assembly or a bit. If removal
of the base is desired, see previous section. Always
remove wood chips, dust or other foreign materials
from the collet shaft and collet assembly before
assembling.
Insert the collet assembly into the collet shaft. Insert
the bit shank into the collet as follows:
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Insert the bit shank into the collet as far as it will
go.
3. Back the bit shank out slightly to avoid bottoming
out.
4. Be sure there
is a minimum of
1/16" between
the bottom of
the collet as-
sembly and the
radius to the
cutting portion
of the bit (Fig.
10).
