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. You’ll need two 7/16"
wrenches, a #3 Phillips screwdriver and a flat blade screwdriver.
ASSEMBLY
Find the side/arm assembly (1470AS) that has the
arm with the squared-off corner. Get the adjuster arm
(1475A1) from the 1475 Height Adjuster package and
attach it to the squared-off arm as shown, using two 3/4"
screws (MF010). Pivot the arm as necessary to access the
lower mounting hole in the arm. Set the remaining height
adjuster parts and hardware aside until later. See fig. 1.
Take both side/arm assemblies and align the pointer
in the arm with the 10º mark on the scale on the top of
the side. Insert a pin (Ringpin1) through the 10º hole
in the side and into the hole in the arm. See fig. 2.
Install a washer (WB002) and a nylon washer (WN001)
on the stud of the knobs (5863). Slide another nylon washer
(WN001) between the arm and side. A credit card can help
position the washer. The washer must be aligned with the
curved slot in the side and the threaded hole in the arm.
Insert the stud of the knob thru the curved slot in the side,
screwing it into the arm, then tighten the knob. See fig. 3.
Insert 1" screws (MF015) thru the three countersunk
holes in each side and start an oval nut (5760B - flat
side first) on each screw. Slide a 7.5" deluxe track
(1470C) on to the oval nuts on each Side. Center the
deluxe track on the side, check the side for square on
a flat surface and tighten the screws. See fig. 4.
Remove the pin from each arm, loosen the
handle and rotate the arm to the 0º mark on the side,
then reinstall the pin and tighten the knob.
ATTACH ROUTER BLOCK
Set the router block on end with the clamping
knob in the router block (1470B or 1472B) facing the
bottom. Insert a barrel nut (5791B) in the hole in the
face of the router block near the end. Use a flat blade
screwdriver to align the threaded hole in the barrel nut
with the cross hole in the router block. See fig. 5.

Install a washer (WB002) and two 1/4" spacers
(BUSH002) on the knobs (5864). Using the side/arm assembly
with the height adjuster arm attached to it, set the arm in the
groove in the router block. Install the ratchet handle thru the
slot in the arm, screwing it into the barrel nut. Slide the router
block as far down on the arm as possible (away from the height
adjuster arm) and tighten the knob. Flip the assembly over
and connect the remaining side/arm assembly to the opposite
side of the router block in the same manner. See fig. 5 & 6
ATTACH ASSEMBLY TO PLATE
Insert 3/4" screws (MF010) thru the six countersunk
holes in the router plate (1470P or 576P) and start oval
nuts (5760B - flat side first) on the ends of the screws.
Line the oval nuts up with the T-slot in the double
tracks and slide the assembly on to the oval nuts.
If you have the 1470P plate, position the assembly so
the back edge of the sides are 11/16" from the edge of the
plate and tighten the screws. The opening in the router block
should be over the bit opening in the router plate. See fig. 7.
If you have the 576P plate, position the assembly so the
back edge of the sides are flush with the edge of the plate and
tighten the screws. The opening in the router block should
be over the bit opening in the router plate. See fig. 7.
INSTALL HEIGHT ADJUSTER
Install a barrel nut (5791B) in the hole in the front of
the router block. Use a flat blade screwdriver to align the
threaded hole in the barrel nut with the cross hole in the
router block. Get the 1475 Height Adjuster package. Spread
the two nylon washers on the threaded rod of the height
adjuster (1475B) apart enough so the rod slips in the groove
in the adjuster arm (installed earlier) and the washers are on
each side of it. Continue screwing the threaded rod into the
barrel nut until the nylon washer on the top of the adjuster
arm is snug against the top of the adjuster arm. See fig. 8.

Place the arm plate (1475A2) with it’s groove covering
the threaded rod and fasten it to the adjuster arm using
the 3/4" screws (5771B). Align the top and bottom edge
of both parts before tightening the screws. See fig. 9.
Adjust the two nuts on the threaded rod, along with
the washers, against the underside of the adjuster arm.
Tighten the nuts against each other when you have adjusted
the up/down slop out of the height adjuster. See fig. 9.
ROUTER INSTALLATION
Loosen the clamp handle in the router block and insert
your router in the router block so the end of the motor is flush
with the router block, or protruding out past it.. The router
motor should always be fully inserted in the router block!
Never insert a router motor partially in the router block! The
router motor can be repositioned anywhere in the motor block as
long as it is completely in the motor block at all times. Tighten
the clamp handle just enough to hold the router motor. Do not
over-tighten or you may damage your router. See fig. 10.
ANGLE SETTINGS
There are pin settings at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 22-1/2, 25, 30,
35, 40 & 45 degrees, or you can set your desired angle using the
scale on top of the sides as a guide. To set an angle, remove the
two pins (if used), loosen the two angle adjustment knobs and
pivot the router to the desired angle. Replace the pins (if the
angle is one of the pin settings above) and tighten the knobs.
Angle settings other than those provided can
be set using a drafting square or bevel gauge placed
between the plate and the face of the router block.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT!! Loosen the height knob nearest the
Height Adjuster just 1/4 to 1/2 of a turn and loosen the
opposite height knob 2 full turns. Retighten the knob nearest
the Height Adjuster first, then retighten opposite knob.
Turn the crank handle on the Height Adjuster to
move the router up or down. If you cannot achieve the
desired height, you may have to reposition the router in
the router block (see router installation section above).
USING THE ANGLE EASE
There are two ratchet knobs for locking the height and
two for locking the angle. Perform one of these adjustments
at a time instead of attempting both adjustments at the same
time. Make sure your bit is locked securely in the router
collet and that all knobs are tightened securely before using.
Depending on your table opening size, you may have to
set the Angle-Ease at 0º degrees to insert it in your router table.
To reduce the risk of injury we recommend that
you tilt the cutter into the fence (or table) hiding more
of the cutter compared to tilting the cutter away from
the fence (or table) and exposing more of the cutter.
