Move the Mounting Brackets for Center-Mounting the MX5, MX10, MX40, or MX80 Router, If
Needed
Two removable mounting brackets are attached to the mounting holes closest to the
front of the chassis (see Figure 2 on page 6). You can move the pair of brackets to
another position on the side of the chassis for center-mounting the router.
To move the mounting brackets from the front of the chassis toward the center of the
chassis (see Figure 3 on page 6):
1. Remove the four screws at the top and bottom of the bracket.
2. Pull the bracket away from the chassis.
3. Align the bracket with the two sets of mounting holes located toward the center of
the chassis.
4. Insert the four screws at the top and bottom of the bracket and tighten each partially.
5. Tighten the four screws completely.
6. Repeat the procedure for the other bracket.
