COLLET CHUCK CARE
All router models are designed to accept 1/2"
and 1/4" shank bits. 1/4" shank bits require a
1/4" adapter sleeve. With the router bit
removed, continue to turn the collet nut counter-
clockwise until it is loose. To assure a firm grip,
occasionally blow out the collet chuck and clean
with a tissue or fine brush. The collet chuck
assembly is made up of two component parts
as illustrated (Fig. 6); check to see that the
adapter sleeve, if needed, is properly seated in
the collet nut and lightly thread the collet nut
back onto the 1/2" collet chuck. Replace a worn
or damaged collet chuck assembly immediately.
