1. Check to see that all sets screws are at the
same location within the leveling bars. Back the
screw out and slowly turn each one clockwise
until it bottoms out without lifting the leveling bar
from the plate. When all set screws are in
aproximately the same position, insert the Rout-
R-Lift™ into your table top. Take note as to where
the main plate is below the surface of your table
top and estimate about how much of an
adjustment is necessary to level the surface.
2. Remove the Rout-R-Lift™ from the table and
with the 1/8” hex key provided adjust the set
screws (Fig. 8) clockwise in the leveling bars to
raise the plate to level.
Be sure to make the adjustments evenly for all
set screws. Only adjust the ends of the long
leveling bars at first. Adjust the center set screws
after the plate has been leveled at the corners.
Do not adjust the set screws too much at one
time, it is better to adjust them slowly in 1/4 to
1/2 turns and test the level after each
adjustment. If you adjust the plate too high
simply turn the set screws counter-clockwise to
lower the plate.
3. After each adjustment, re-install the Rout-R-
Lift™ back into the table top and check that the
plate is flush with the surface. Repeat
adjustments to the set screws if necessary until
the desired leveling is achieved.

LEVELING THE ROUT-R-LIFT™ PLATE
Once the Rout-R-Lift™ is installed into your table,
it needs to be adjusted to sit flush with your table
top surface. If you have a JessEm phenolic table
top the following adjustments can be made
through the pre-drilled access holes from
underneath the table top. If you are using a
custom table top, the leveling adjustments are
made with the lift removed from the table
opening.
TAB-LOC PHENOLIC INSERT RINGS
Your Rout-R-Lift™ comes with one insert ring with
a pre-drilled 1-1/2” diameter center hole.
Additional ring sets are available with different
diameter pre-drilled holes and/or no pre-drilled
holes for creating your own custom centerhole
diameters.
1. Place the insert ring into the centerhole of
the Lift’s top plate (Fig. 8).
2. With the insert ring wrench provided, insert
the prongs of the wrench into the corresponding
holes in the insert ring and turn the insert ring
counter clockwise to tighten.
3. Turn the insert wrench clockwise to loosen
and remove the ring. If the insert ring becomes
too tight to loosen with hand pressure, a tap
clockwise on the insert wrench handle with a
block of wood will loosen it.
FIG. 8
1. With the router bit installed, place the
adjustment handle (item #36) into the access
port in the main plate.
2. Bring the bit flush to the table top.
3. To raise your router turn the adjustment
handle clockwise. To lower, turn the adjustment
handle counter-clockwise. Keep in mind that one
complete revolution of the adjustment handle
equals 0.050” or 1/20”. Make the desired height
adjustment. When your adjustment is complete,
remove the adjustable handle.
CAUTION!
ALWAYS TURN ROUTER OFF AND
