BEFORE BEGINNING
Identify and verify that you have all the parts listed. Read
the instructions at least once, familiarizing yourself with the
parts, before beginning assembly.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Set one of the Side/Arm assemblies upright on a bench
with the 45º scale mark facing you. Align the pointer in the
Arm with the 0º mark on the scale on the top of the Side. Insert
a pin (Ringpin1) through the 0º hole in the Side and into the
hole in the Arm. This will hold the Arm in place for assembly.
Repeat for the other Side/Arm assembly. See fig. 1.
Install a brass washer (WB002), followed by a nylon
washer (WN002) on the ratchet handles with the 1-1/8" stud
(5860-1.5). Slide another nylon washer (WN002) between the
Arm and Side. A credit card will slip between the Arm and
Side to help position the washer. The washer must be aligned
with the curved slot in the Side and the threaded hole in the
Arm. See fig. 2.
Insert the ratchet handle/washers thru the curved slot in the
Side and thread it into the Arm. Make sure there is a nylon
washer between the Arm and Side. Lightly tighten. Repeat for
the other Side/Arm assembly.
Set the router mounting block on a bench so that one of
the grooved ends is facing up with the router block clamping
knob facing away from you and to the bottom.
Insert a 1-1/8" barrel nut (5791B) into hole "A" in the face
of the router block (see part drawing of 1425B). Use a small
screwdriver to align the hole in the barrel nut with the hole in
the router block. See fig. 3, Step 1.
Install a 1/2" spacer (PS001) on the ratchet handle with 1-
5/8" stud (5860-2). Place the Arm of the right hand Side/Arm
assembly in the groove in the router block. Install the ratchet
handle with spacer thru the slot in the Arm and into the barrel
nut in the router block. Lightly tighten. Repeat for the opposite
side. See fig. 3, Step 2.
Set the completed router block/side/arm assembly on the
labeled side (non countersunk side) of the router plate as shown.
See fig. 4. The opening in the router block should be over the
bit opening in the router plate. It is critical to have the angle set
to "0º" and the router block fully lowered on the arms before
proceeding. Tighten all knobs securely before proceeding.
Align the six holes in the router plate with the slotted
holes in the sides. Insert a barrel nut (5793B), with the slot fac-
ing inward, in each of the slotted holes in the sides. Fasten the
router plate to the assembly using the flat head screws
(MF015), inserted thru the router plate and into the barrel nuts.
Get all six screws started before fully tightening them.

ROUTER INSTALLATION
The 1425 will hold a 4.2" diameter router motor from a
Porter Cable 7518 or 7519. The optional 1430S Shim will allow
you to use the Milwaukee 5625 router. The optional 1425R1
Adapter fits a 3.5" diameter router motor from a Bosch 1617/1618,
DeWalt DW616/618 or Porter Cable 690 & 892. If you have a dif-
ferent router motor you may have to make some modifications to
the router block or adapter.
Loosen the clamp handle in the router block. See fig. 5.
Insert your router in the router block so the end of the motor is
flush with the router block. THE ROUTER MOTOR SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FULLY INSERTED IN THE ROUTER BLOCK!
NEVER INSERT A ROUTER MOTOR ONLY PARTIALLY IN
THE ROUTER BLOCK! See fig. 6. The router motor may need
to be readjusted for various operations. Tighten the clamp handle
just enough to hold the router motor. Do not over-tighten or you
may damage your router.
USING THE ANGLE EASE
There are two ratchet handles for height adjustment and two
for angle adjustment. Perform one of these adjustments at a time
instead of both together.
You may have to set the Angle-Ease at 0 degrees to insert it
in your router table.
We suggest that, whenever possible, you tilt the cutter INTO
THE FENCE (vs. away from the fence) to reduce the amount of
cutter exposure to yourself and the risk of injury.
ANGLE SETTINGS
Set your angle using the pins and the scales on top of the
sides as a guide. These are ballpark settings only. The sides fea-
ture pins with positive settings at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 22-1/2, 25, 30,
35, 40 & 45 degrees. See figs. 1&2. Pull the pins out (away from
the router). Pivot the router to the desired angle and push the pins
in the desired hole to set the angle.
Exact angle settings other than those provided will require a
drafting square or bevel gauge, placed in between the base plate
and the router block.
HEIGHT SETTINGS
Loosen the two height adjustment knobs and slide the
router/router block up or down on the two pivot arms. If you can-
not achieve the desired height you may have to change the position
of the router motor in the router block.
Make sure your bit is locked securely in the router collet and
that the two height knobs and two angle knobs are tightened
securely before using.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT ACCESSORY
Our optional 1426 Height Adjustment Knob makes height
adjustments easier.
