RT-FS/RT-PHFS OWNER’S MANUAL
Throughout the manual, the exploded views are referenced to clarify the location and
name of each part. There are multiple exploded views in this manual, so a
decimal point system is used. The number before the decimal point refers to the
exploded view number (in this case, 1 through 4). The number after the decimal point
refers to the part number (as indicated by the number in the balloon in the exploded
view). For example, a part referenced as “1.1” would be the part labeled with a “1”
balloon in the exploded view #1.

5Refer to the hole pattern reference gure
from step 4 and align the mounting
holes in an upper side bracket (E) with
the mounting holes in the stand legs (F)
marked “aa,” align the mounting holes
in a lower side bracket (B) with the holes
marked “cc,” and align the mounting
holes in the caster mounting bracket
(C) with the holes marked “dd.” Mount
the brackets to the stand legs (F) using
twelve hex head bolts (V) and twelve
washers (K). Set this assembly aside.
4Place two stand legs (F) on a at
surface and position them so the top
surface of each tube and the outward-
facing surface of each tube have the
holes marked as “aa,” “bb,” “cc,” and
“dd” in the hole pattern reference gure.

support plate (1.14) and lower side bracket (B)
and secure it with the washer (K) and the hex
nut (Y). Use a 5mm hex wrench and a 10 mm

Place the other two stand legs (F) on
a at surface, and position them so
the top surface of each tube and the
outward-facing surface of each tube
have the holes marked as “aa,” “bb,”

gure from step 7 and align the
mounting holes in the other upper side
bracket (E) with the stand leg (F) holes
marked “aa” and align the mounting
holes in the other lower side bracket
(B) with the holes marked “cc.” Mount
the brackets to the stand legs using
eight hex head bolts (V) and eight
washers (K).
Refer to the hole pattern reference
gure from step 7 and align the
mounting holes in the at edges of the
two wheel housings (O) with the bottom
two holes in the stand legs (F) marked

Next, mount the 3” wheels (P) to the
wheel housings (O). Insert a hex head
bolt (Q) through one side of a wheel
housing (O), then through a washer (S),
a 3” wheel (P), a third washer (S), the
other side of the wheel housing (O), and
another washer (S). Secure the bolt with
a lock nut (J). Use two 13mm wrenches
to tighten the nut, but do not over-
tighten the nut, or the wheel will not be
able to rotate. Repeat this process for
the other wheel assembly.
Rotate the stand legs (F) upright so
the leveling feet (M) are on the ground.
Refer to the hole pattern reference
gure from step 7 and align the
mounting holes in an upper front/rear
bracket (D) with the remaining top holes
in two stand legs (F) (marked as holes
“aa”) and align the mounting holes in
a lower front/rear bracket (A) with the
holes in the stand legs (F) marked “cc.”
Mount the brackets (D and A) to the two
stand legs (F) using eight hex head bolts
(V) and eight washers (K).
Repeat step 11 with the other upper
front/rear bracket (D) and lower front/
rear bracket (A), then use a 10mm
wrench to tighten all of the hex head
bolts (V) used to assemble the stand.

Place a level on one of the upper
brackets and adjust the leveling feet (M)
to make sure the bracket is level. Check
the corners between the brackets and
the remaining three brackets, as shown
by the red arrows. Recheck all four
brackets, then use a 14 mm wrench to
tighten the hex nut (N) on each leveling
foot (M) up against the bottoms of the
stand legs (F). Make sure the feet are
adjusted so the wheels (P) just contact
the ground, but can still spin relatively
freely. If the wheels (P) are not close
enough to the ground, the stand will not
roll properly.
Insert a socket head cap screw (R) through a
washer (K), then through the square hole in
the handle mounting bracket (T). Then thread
the screw into one of the single holes in the
front of either front stand leg (F) (marked
as holes “bb” in the hole pattern reference
gure in step 7). Use a 5mm hex wrench
to tighten the screw. (The handle mounting
bracket (T) is adjustable and can be aligned
any way the user desires to hold the router
lift elevation handle.)
