INSTALLING THE ROUTER
1. Place the crank handle into the hex hole in
the lift’s dial on the top plate. Crank the lift
carriage up so that it just contacts the O-rings at
top of the carriage shafts. The carriage should be
all the way toward the top plate.
2. Before installing the router motor, prop the
unit up on blocks of wood (Fig. 1) so the router’s
collet can extend through the centerhole in the
top plate. The motor housing must slide all the
way through and contact the inside back of the
centerhole on the plate.
3A.Open the cam lock clamp to accept the
router motor and slide the motor into the carriage
so the top of the motor housing just makes
contact with the inside surface of the centerhole
in the top plate. Then back it off approx. 1/16”.
Note: If the cam lock clamp does not secure
the router motor properly, or is too tight, you may
have to adjust the clamp tension see step 3B.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
!Before operating any router read and
understand all safety instructions in the
owner’s manual that came with the router.
!If you do not have a manual, contact the
manufacturer and obtain one before using
any power tool.
!Always wear eye protection in compliance
with ANSI safety standards when operating
any power tool.
!Always use proper guards and safety
devices when operating power tools and
machinery.
!Carefully check router bits before each use.
Do not use if damage or defect is
suspected.
!Do not exceed the recommended RPM for
any router bit.
!Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that
may catch on tools or equipment.
!Unplug the tool or machine when mounting
or making any adjustments to mechanical
performance.
DO NOT USE A CORDLESS DRILL TO
RAISE AND LOWER THE LIFT CARRIAGE.
THE AMOUNT OF FRICTION WILL CAUSE
PREMATURE WEAR OF THE THREADS
ROUTER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
!Never force the bit or overload the router
beyond the expectations of the tool.
!Be sure that at least 3/4 of the shank
length is inserted securely in the router
collet.
!Never bottom out the bit in the collet. Allow
1/8” clearance between shank and bottom
of collet.
!Always make sure the fence on your router
table is locked into position before each
use.
!Always rout in two or more passes when
large amounts of stock must be removed.
!Use reduced RPM speeds for large
diameter bits.
CLAMP OPEN
The cam lock
design spreads
the clamp when
fully opened.
CLAMP CLOSED
Secures the router
motor in the
carriage when
fully closed.
FIG. 1
TAB-LOC PHENOLIC INSERT RINGS
Your Rout-R-Lift FX 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. See your JessEm distributor for these
and other accessories.
4. Rotate the motor so that the on/off switch
and variable speed adjustment switches are in
your most desired position relative to being able
to access them from the front, side or rear of the
router table, whichever you prefer. Close the cam
lock clamp to secure the motor in the carriage.
The lift is now ready to be placed in a router
table.
INSTALLING A JESSEM LIFT IN A CUSTOM
ROUTER TABLE APPLICATION
Using a JessEm router lift in a router table is
similar to using a router mounting plate. Your
table top must have a port machined into the top.
JessEm offers solid phenolic router tables tops
with pre-machined ports for all JessEm router
lifts. If you are installing this Lift in a custom
table application you will have to fabricate this
opening yourself. JessEm offers a separate
template for this operation. See your JessEm
distributor for the proper template for your
JessEm router lift
INSTALLING THE ROUTER (Cont’d)
ADJUSTING THE CAM LOCK CLAMP
3B.The tolerances on many router motor
Housing diameters vary slightly. If the clamp does
not appear to hold the router motor securely, or if
you are unable to close the clamp entirely
because it is too tight, you may have to adjust
the tension on the cam lock clamp. Using 1/2”
wrench, turn the lock nut counter-clockwise to
loosen the clamp or clockwise to tighten (Fig. 2).
A small adjustment is all that is needed. Test and
repeat in small increments until a correct fit is
achieved. The cam lever should be closed
completely with the router motor secure.
1. Place the insert ring into the centerhole of
the Lift’s top plate (Fig. 4).
2. With the insert 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 with a block of
wood will loosen it.

FIG. 3
FIG. 2
LEVELING THE LIFT IN THE TABLE TOP
1. With the Rout-R-Lift FX in the table top
opening, install (8) set screws into the holes
around the lift perimeter. Adjust (Fig. 3) the four
corners first to align the lift surface to the table
surface so that both are flush. Adjust the
remaining set screws on the sides to provide
added support.
3. Then rotate the brass tensioning collar (Fig. 6)
with vertical grooves, so it tightens against the
rubber washer. Note: a drop of oil on the rubber
washer eases the rotation of the brass collar.
4. Be certain when you tighten the brass collar
the set screw seats in one of the vertical grooves.
5. Tighten the 1/4-20 nut with the 7/16” wrench
again and the adjustment is complete.
USING YOUR ROUT-R-LIFT FX
To raise your router, turn the height adjustment
handle clockwise. To lower, turn the handle
counter-clockwise. Keep in mind that one
complete revolution equals 1/16” of change.
When your adjustment is complete, remove the
handle and place somewhere off the work
surface for safety. Refer to the chart below for
fractional and decimal adjustments based on
amount of revolutions made.
Fraction Decimal Number of
Revolutions
1/64” 0.016” 1/4 Revolution
1/32” 0.031” 1/2 Revolution
1/16” 0.062” 1 Revolution
1/8” 0.125” 2 Revolutions
1/4” 0.250” 4 Revolutions
1/2” 0.500” 8 Revolutions
RE-ADJUSTING THE THREAD TENSIONING
All JessEm Lifts feature our patented thread
tensioning design. This feature is why it is not
necessary to lock the router into position after
setting the cutting height. The design keeps
tension on the position wherever you set the
height. Thread tension is set at the factory and
depending on the amount of use you may have to
reset this adjustment periodically. If the bit height
ever begins to change (or drop) during use, the
thread tensioning likely needs to be reset.
1. Turn the Lift upside down on a table with the
threaded height adjustment rod facing you.
2. With a 7/16” open end wrench, (Fig. 5)
loosen the 1/4” - 20 hex nut that is located on
the right side of the brass post next to the
threaded rod. Then use a hex wrench to back out
the set screw that threads through the nut until
the brass tensioning collar can be turned.
