CARE AND MAINTENANCE

General
WARNING: All maintenance should only be carried out by an authorized service organization.
Cleaning
WARNING: Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, make sure that the router and
the router table have been disconnected from power supply. Keep all ventilation openings clean to
prevent overheating of the motor.
Wear a mask and proper eye protection when you clean the tool.
Always use only a soft, dry cloth to clean your router and table, never use any detergent or alcohol.
Collet care
From time to time, inspect the collet to make sure it is clean and is gripping the cutter bit
•
properly.
With the router cutter bit removed, turn the collet counterclockwise (with the spindle lock
•
engaged) until it is free of the motor's spindle shaft.
Blow the collet out with compressed air, and clean the tapered inside of the collet to remove
•
woodchips, dust residue, grease, and rust before re-installing it.
WARNING: Wear proper eye protection and a mask when using compressed air to clean the tool.
Always make sure that the cutter bit shank, collet/nut and motor spindle are clean and free of
•
woodchips, dust, residue, grease and rust before installing a cutter bit or collet/nut. Apply a
small amount of machine oil to the spindle shaft if it looks dry.
Replace worn or damaged collets immediately.
•
NOTICE: The collet is self-releasing. It is NOT necessary to strike the collet to
free the router cutter bit.
If the cutter bit seems to be stuck after use, loosen the collet further until it releases.
Cutter bit care
Keeping cutter bits clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum from cutter bits
•
after each use.
When sharpening cutter bits, sharpen only the inside of the cutting edge. Never grind the
•
outside diameter. When sharpening the end of a cutter bit, be sure to grind the clearance angle
the same as it was originally ground.
