Mounting the base to the router

First locate your router model numbers on the diagram on the base plate. The holes are marked with the brand names.
Locate and mark the mounting holes for your router on the diagram.
Align the plate over the diagram so that the mounting holes on the plate are aligned with the diagram.
Locate the marked mounting holes for your router and mark the counterbores on your plate with a felt pen.
Mount the guide bushing on the adapter plate.
Rotate the plate so that the marked holes align with the mounting holes in the base of your router and mount the plate with the
supplied screws leaving the mounting screws loose.
Install the centering pin in the router so that the cone of the pin can be pushed against the bushing.
Move the plate on the router so that the bushing is centered on the centering pin cone.
Tighten the mounting screws to hold the adaptor plate in the centered position.
