Welcome to the forum, Diego. I've had a few of that model and I don't remember ever having the wire. I think it serves no purpose. Take it out and put it in a drawer. Is your Dad a woodworker ?

 

hi jhon
yes i also think it has no purpose as such but my father wanted to know so i searched the internet and that's how i found this forum
yes usually my dad likes to work with wood
thanks for your answer

 

I've never seen something like that. Do you still have the instruction book? That might be your best bet. I would hesitate to remove if it isn't interfering with the operation of the tool. I notice there is a recess for it, which is why I wouldn't remove it.

BTW, welcome to the Forum.

Hello
No unfortunately my father bought it without a manual but I will look for one on the internet maybe it is a good idea.
Thanks Tom

 

Tom - I've had a few of that model and never saw or had the need for that spring wire in any of them. Looking at mine this morning, I can see no reason why it is there. And that one having survived for so many years indicates the base plate was very rarely removed, if at all. Tis indeed a mystery.
I see the spring listed as Part #39 in a few places but no information on what it is for.

 

I know, my father made me search all over the internet for the function of that part but I didn't find more than the list you show me.
by the way thank you for taking the time to check your router and answer.

 

I bet some engineer woke up in the middle of the night with a brainstorm. But I think maybe something got lost in translation.

G'day Diego, welcome to the forum.

 

I think it is a spring (39) for storing "collet wrench" (38) in base when Router not in use..

I have uploaded the B&D 7614 PDF manual to

Black & Decker 7614 router manual

I printed individual pages from internet and rescanned printed pages into 15 page PDF manual.

I can upload the B&D 7614 manual here if OP cannot find it online elsewhere.

I think you win the prize on this one Reuelt. Makes sense now.

 

Tom, when I looked at the spring in the parts diagram, the wrench was right next to it and I thought the two had something to do with each other. (which we now know it does). This is one of those things that you can't see the forest for the trees LOL. I stared at mine until I was blue in the face and just couldn't see it. Here is a snippet of the "Wrench Storage".

 

I've got the router and the wrench somewhere. I took it out because it blocks my view.

 

In case the original poster missed it, Reuelt posted a pdf of the manual here Black & Decker 7614 router manual

 

I’ll have to look around. I’ve got that wrench somewhere.. I used the router because I could see my marks on the cabinets for round over edges on face frames… While I got the plate off, I’ll clean the light…
