Installing Freehand Sole Plate and Pistol Grip Base:
To install the router motor into the freehand sole plate base or pistol grip base, make sure the
locking lever is released by flipping it away from the base. Align the spindle-locking button with
the U-shaped recess in the upper base and slide the router motor down into the upper base housing
until it stops. Flip the locking lever against the base to lock the motor into the base.
WARNING! Do not use the freehand sole plate or pistol grip base for making “standard”
router cuts. These bases are designed to be used with the circle cutting accessory or when
using the Marvel 40 to cut electrical box openings in drywall. Limited control with this
accessory could cause you to loose control and increase the chance of serious injury. Use a
high speed steel spiral bit that will allow you to plunge cut through the drywall when using
the tool to make the cut outs.
Adjusting the Cutter Depth using the Freehand Sole and Pistol Grip Bases:
Loosen the butterfly knob on the height adjustment wheel. Use the height adjustment wheel to
position the bit to the required cutting depth. Tighten the butterfly knob to lock the cutting depth
at your desired position. Before starting to cut, you should re-check bit depth and make sure sole
plate is securely tightened. Re-check the collect to make sure the bit is securely fastened.
