INSTALLING A ROUTER BIT
1. Lay router on its side with the flat side of base
resting on the bench.
2. Press spindle lock to prevent rotation of collet
chuck. NOTE: it may be necessary to rotate
collet nut to engage spindle lock (Fig. 3).
3. Next, use the collet wrench to loosen the
collet chuck assembly in counter-clockwise
direction (viewed from bottom of router).
4. Insert the shank of the router bit into the collet
chuck assembly as far as it will go, then back
the shank out until the cutters are
approximately 1/8" to 1/4" away from the
collet nut face.
5. With the router bit inserted and the spindle
lock engaged, use the collet wrench to firmly
tighten the collet chuck assembly in a
clockwise direction (viewed from bottom of
router).
To ensure proper gripping of the router bit and
minimize run-out, the shank of the router bit
must be inserted at least 5/8".
Cutter diameter must be at
!
WARNING
least 1/4" smaller than the

Assembly
before removing
To prevent damage to tool,
!
CAUTION
do not tighten collet without
a bit.
NOTE: The bit shank and chuck should be clean
and free of dust, wood, residue and grease
before assembling.
REMOVING THE ROUTER BIT
or
1. Press spindle lock to prevent rotation of collet
chuck, and turn the collet chuck assembly in a
counter-clockwise direction.
2. Once the collet chuck assembly is loosened,
continue to turn the collet chuck assembly
until it pulls the collet free from its taper, and
the router bit can be removed.
NOTE: The collet chuck is self-extracting; it is
NOT necessary to strike the collet chuck to free
the router bit.
COLLET CHUCK CARE
With the router bit removed, continue to turn the
collet chuck counter-
clockwise until it is
free of the shaft. To
assure a firm grip,
occasionally blow
out the collet chuck
with compressed air,
and clean the taper
in the armature assembly shaft with a tissue or
fine brush. The collet chuck is made up of two
component parts that snap together (Fig. 4);
check to see that the collet is properly seated in
the collet chuck nut and lightly thread the collet
chuck back onto the armature shaft. Replace
worn or damaged collet chucks immediately.
