manual for speciﬁc safe operating instructions.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The Woodpeckers

Side Winder can be installed in most

router tables with a standard 9¼ x 11¾ opening and a side

panel mounting surface no more than 19" away as in the

side of a cabinet or router table stand. In most cases three

holes will need to be drilled for mounting the side plate.

These instructions assume you’re installing the Side Winder

on a Woodpeckers

Router Table Stand.

USING THE LIFT WRENCH

You’ll need to know how to use the Lift Wrench to install

your router motor.

STEP 1. To change the carriage height (the carriage is the

part beneath the table that holds the motor), orient the

wrench with the handle pointing right. (Figure 1.)

Insert the wrench until it’s COMPLETELY BOTTOMED OUT.

Once it’s all the way in, try and rotate it. If it doesn’t turn, it

isn’t in. Do not force the wrench. Take it out, push it back

down and try again.

STEP 2. Once it turns easily, simply rotate it ¼ turn in ei-

ther direction to lock the handle to the carriage. Now you

can raise or lower your router as needed using the wrench.

(Figure 2.)

To install your router motor you need to raise the carriage

all the way up and lock it in place by once again orienting

the handle to the right. Now remove the lift wrench.

Once fully

inserted, rotate

the wrench ¼

turn in either

direction and

completely raise

the carriage.

REMOVE THE RING STEP 3. The Side Winder comes with one ring installed. This ring needs to be removed in order to install your motor. Loosen the Figure 3. ring by turning it CLOCKWISE with the spanner wrench. To put one back in, rotate it counter-clockwise. Knobs. Clamp. Carriage. Clearance. Remove coupling after motor is clamped in. Figure 6. STEP 6. Evenly snug the two knobs. They are self locking so they won’t spin freely.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLT. Overtightening will damage the plate. Snug the hex nut against the plate. (Figure 7b). Repeat the same steps for the other clamp block. Drill 9 ⁄32 hole in these two locations. Clamp block. Clamp knob. Figure 10. Figure 8. STEP 8. Once your router motor and the two clamp blocks have been installed, remove the Side Winder from the table and set it back in, right side up. From underneath the table rotate the clamp blocks in place and tighten the two knobs.

Flat on lift rod. Coupling / set screw. Figure 13. STEP 13. Apply a dab of grease to the outside of the pin and insert it through the hole in the bolt. This will take some effort. Be careful not to kink the flex shaft. Bend it just enough to get the pin through the hole. Optionally you can loosen the large bolt holding the bracket to the side panel. Do not completely remove the bolt. When finished make sure the bracket is hanging straight down and re-tighten the large bolt. (Figure 13). Figure 16.

GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION LEVELING THE PLATE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Before adjusting the leveling screws you need to loosen the clamp knobs underneath the table. There are eight set screws around the perimeter for adjusting the height of the plate relative to the table. Initial leveling should be done with just four of the screws, two each on opposite ends of the plate. Once the plate feels flush, use a block of wood to make sure it doesn’t catch going either direction then adjust the remaining screws.
