If you want your work to be done correctly, you have to know how to connect your wood router to your table well because it’s the first thing to do. As an RA-1181 is from the same brand as the 1617 EVS, it is pretty easy to connect them; let’s see how to do it: ●First of all, you have to bring the first base of the router & start processing to place that beneath the table’s hole; please make sure that you place the base by matching the screw holes. ●In the second step, you are supposed to hold the first base beneath the table & get the screws into the holes. Please get a screwdriver to join the screws tightly & that’s how the base is ready to hold the router. ●You have to take the router properly under the table and start running the machine through the base. You will slowly push & rotate the router through the base until you hear a click & they are placed together.
