7.8.2 Lifting with hoist
1. Place straps around steel bolts, and put bolts
inside the four holes (X, Figure 7-18). Make
sure bolts are long enough to span hole and
catch beneath base, and that straps will tighten
clear of gantry and any fragile parts.
2. Place rubber foot pads (HP023, Figure 7-17)
over holes in stand.
3. Lower router assembly while aligning holes in
router assembly and stand.
4. Remove straps and insert four screws with flat
washers (HP024/025, Figure 7-17) loosely to
ensure hole alignment. Tighten screws.
5. Level the router table along both axes, adjusting
the levelers below the stand as needed.
Figure 7-18
7.9 Completing assembly
1. Push cable connectors into their corresponding
receptacles (Figure 7-19) and rotate collars to
secure.
Figure 7-19
2. Position power cord from beneath stand so it
will not be tread upon or rolled over by the
casters.
3. Install hook (HP007) onto threaded holes in left
or right side of stand (Figure 7-20). Connect
cable (R4) to server and controller.
Figure 7-20
4. Install plastic caps (HP021) over holes in table
base.
5. Install step motor (R7, Figure 7-21) to top of
gantry tower in the orientation shown, and
tighten two setscrews in coupling (Y). Connect
cable.
6. The tool touch-off puck plugs into socket on
gantry support (Figure 7-21).

7.10 Installing router (PM-2X2R only)
Secure a router (not included) into the holder as
shown, Figure 7-22. The machine will accept a 3-
1/2” or universal router. Orient the speed dial toward
front of machine if possible. Make sure screws are
securely tightened. NOTE: Maximum weight of
router = 8 kg. (17.6 lb.)
Position power cable so it will not interfere with
vertical or horizontal movement of head. See Figure
7-23. Optimal method is to feed plug through box (A)
and drag chain (B), and connect to receptacle (C) in
the tray. Keep excess length of cable inside box, as
shown (cable ties not included.)
