MLCS 9098 Instruction manual

Item #9098
On-Point Universal Laser Guided/LED Router
Plate General Instructions
1) Remove the sub base from your router.
2) Put a V Groove, or any pointed/small diameter
router bit into your router.
3) Place your router on top of the On-Point router
base and line up the point/center of the router bit
with the exact center of the crosshairs of the laser
guides.
4) Be sure the mounting screw holes in your router
base do not overlap the laser guides or wiring in
the On-Point router base. If it does simply rotate
your router until the holes are clear of the laser
guides and wiring.
5) Very carefully mark the mounting screw hole
pattern on the On-Point router base.
6) Drill the proper size hole for your mounting
screws completely through the On-Point router
base.
7) From the bottom side of the On-Point router base
counter sink each hole so that the screw head is
below the surface of the On-Point. This will ensure
that the screw heads will not mar your work or
interfere in any way.
8) Mount your router to the On-Point router base.
9) Turn off the power on the On-Point router base
when not in use. This will extend the life of the
batteries and lasers and LEDs.
Tips:
Use heavy-duty double face tape to mount your router to
the On-Point router base as a temporary solution.
Holes can be counter bored up to 3/8” for shorter screws.
The router’s sub base can be used as a pattern for marking
mounting holes.

Using the On-Point Universal Laser Guide
Router Plate to make perfectly spaced cuts:
Easily set up your straight edge guide using the On-
Point’s laser as your reference point. Perfect for cutting
dado slots in furniture construction or making general
decorative cuts in any project.
Set-up and Use:
1. On your work piece, mark the centerline of your slot or
groove with a pen, pencil or marking gauge.
2. Position the On-Point router base over the centerline
drawn in step 1 at either end of the line. Turn on the laser
and center the laser’s cross hair directly over the point at
the end of the line. Place your straight edge guide so that it
is flush against the On-Point router base. (see figure 67A
& Additional tip below).
3. Move the On-Point router base to the opposite end of
the line. Keeping the router base oriented the same way as
it was in step 2, again place your straight edge guide so
that it is flush against the On-Point router base. (see figure
67B & Additional tip below).
4. Lock your straight edge guide in place and rout your
groove.
Additional tip:
If you are routing stopped grooves instead of through
grooves, when you have the router set on the ends of your
lines, clamp a stop block at the edge of the router base.
Then when the On-Point router base contacts the stop
block(s), you have cut the full length of your stopped
groove. (see figure 67C). The stop block is clamped to
Work Piece.

Using the Edge Guide Accessory
The edge guide can be mounted to the bottom of the On-
Point to allow you to follow either a straight or curved
edge to make internal cuts for inlays, decorative grooves
or a drip channel on cutting boards. The edge guide can be
mounted with the flat edge toward the bit opening (see
figure 67aA and 67aB) when following straight edges or
with it reversed so that the two ball bearing guides are
positioned toward the bit opening (see figure. 67aC and
67aD) to follow a curved edge.
1. Start by inserting the two t-head bolts through the slots
in the On-Point and align the t-heads of the bolts so they
are recessed into the shoulder of the slot.
2. Decide which position the edge guide will be mounted
and place it over the threads of the bolt. Screw the knobs
on the exposed threads, leaving them loose at this time, to
hold the edge guide to the bottom of the On-Point.
3. Adjust the edge guide to the desired position and
tighten the knobs to secure the edge guide in position on
the bottom of the On-Point.
Tip:
Use the laser crosshairs to accurately adjust the position of
the edge guide aligning the crosshairs on your desired
layout line where the cut is to be made.
