Installing the Cutter Bit
1. Turn the motor off and unplug the router from
the power source.
2. Remove the motor housing from the fixed
base.

up.
4. Press the spindle-lock button to engage and
lock the spindle shaft and collet/nut (Fig. 3).
5. Place the wrench on the collet/nut and turn
it counterclockwise to loosen the collet/nut
slightly so that it can accept the cutter bit shank.
6. Insert the cutter bit shank into the collet/nut assembly as far as it will go, then back the
shank out until the cutters are approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch away from the face of the collet/
nut (Fig. 3a, 3b).
