WARNING:
Do not use bits with undersized shanks. Undersized
shanks will not tighten properly and could be thrown from
the tool causing injury.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
the spindle lock.
WARNING:
If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be careful
not to touch the collet nut, bit, or collet with your hands or
fingers. You will get burned because of the heat buildup
from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
WARNING:
If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the bit may
detach during use, causing serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Bit continues to rotate after the router has been turned off.
To avoid injury, wait until the bit has come to a complete
stop before removing router from the workpiece.
WARNING
:
Do not use bits which are larger than 2-1/4 in. Never use
bits which are larger in diameter than the opening in the
router subbase. These situations could cause possible
loss of control or create other hazardous conditions that
could cause possible serious personal injury.
OPERATION
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 1 - 2, page 15.
 Unplug the router.
 Remove chip shield from router base by pushing two
sides together and removing from base.
 Depress spindle lock.
 Place the wrench provided through front of router base
onto collet nut and turn counterclockwise to loosen.
 Install bit once collet nut is loose. If changing bits, bit will
easily slip from collet after loosening collet nut.
 Insert shank of bit until shank bottoms out, then pull it
out 1/16 in. to allow for expansion when the bit gets hot.
 Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with
the wrench provided.
 Release spindle lock.
 Replace chip shield.
To remove the bit:
 Place the wrench provided through front of router base
onto collet nut and turn counterclockwise to loosen.
 Loosen the collet nut and remove the bit.
 Release the spindle lock.
INSTALLING/REMOVING THE 1/4
ADAPTOR
See Figures 1 - 2, page 15.
The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit bits with
1/2 in. diameter shanks. To use bits with 1/4 in. diameter
shanks, insert the 1/4 in. adaptor into the 1/2 in. collet.
 Unplug the router.
 Remove chip shield from router base by pushing two
sides together and removing from base.
 Depress spindle lock.
 Place the wrench provided through front of router base
onto collet nut and turn counterclockwise to loosen.
 Install adaptor once collet nut is loose.
 Insert 1/4 in. shank bit, then tighten the collet nut securely
by turning clockwise with the wrench provided.
 Release spindle lock.
 Replace chip shield.
To remove the adaptor:
 Place the wrench provided through front of router base
