ATTACHING/REMOVING VACUUM ADAPTOR
See Figures 4 - 6, page 13.
WARNING:
During use, always keep vacuum hose clear of the path
of the bit.
The vacuum adaptor attaches to the router base for im-
proved dust management when used in combination with
a vacuum. The vacuum hose adaptor accepts 1-1/4 in. to
1-7/8 in. vacuum hoses.
NOTE: The router ships with a chip shield that must be
removed prior to installing the vacuum adaptor.
To remove the chip shield and install the vacuum adaptor:
Remove the battery pack.
Turn the router upside down to remove the four subbase
screws and the subbase.
Place your fingers inside the base and gently push out
on top of the chip shield near the tab until it snaps free.
Hold the vacuum adaptor at a slight angle and place it
onto the base so that the rounded edges of the adaptor
are aligned with the holes in the base.
Gently press the top of the vacuum adaptor until the tab
snaps into place.
Align the tabs on the subbase with the grooves in the
removable base, then place the subbase onto the remov-
able base.
Attach the subbase using the four subbase screws.
Tighten the screws securely. Do not over tighten.
