Tool Assembly
Installing the Motor into the Lift
To install the motor into a router lift, read, understand, and follow the instructions packaged
with the router lift.
Installing the Bit
It is not necessary to remove the motor from the lift to install a collet assembly or a bit.
(If removal of the motor is desired, see the lift instructions.) Raise the motor as high as
possible. Always wipe wood chips, dust, or other foreign materials from the collet shaft
and collet assembly before assembling.
Insert the collet assembly into the collet shaft.
Insert the bit shank into the collet as follows:
1.
Unplug the motor from the power source.
2.
Insert the bit shank into the collet as far as
it will go.
3.
Back the bit shank out slightly to
avoid bottoming out. This equates to
approximately ⅛" (3.2mm).
4.
Be sure there is a minimum of 1/16"
between the bottom of the collet assembly
and the radius to the cutting portion of the
bit (Fig. 5).
5.
Be sure that the collet is not clamped to a
fluted section on the bit shank. The collet
should be clamped to a solid part on the
bit shank.
6.
To tighten the bit in the collet assembly
use two wrenches (Fig. 6).
NOTE: Never tighten a collet assembly
without inserting a bit shank of the proper
size. This may damage the collet.
