Collets
The collet must be attached to the collet nut before
it is put into the collet shaft. Be sure that the size of
the collet matches the size of the bit shank being
used. If the wrong size bit shank is used, the collet
may break. For attaching or detaching the collet
nut to the collet, follow the illustrated instructions
on this page.
Attaching Collet to Collet Nut
To assemble, place the narrow end of the collet
on an even surface. Take the nut and place it over
the collet (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
Position nut squarely over collet with the smaller
opening of the nut facing up (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
Snap nut and collet together by fi rmly applying
downward pressure into assembly with palm of
hand (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3
To remove collet from nut, hold nut fi rmly with one
hand and press the collet to one side with the other
hand (Fig. 4).

ASSEMBLY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug tool before attaching
or removing accessories or making adjust-

accessories. Others may be hazardous.
Pressing the motor release button will cause
the motor housing to drop down, which may
cause personal injury or damage to the tool or
workpiece. Make sure your hand is fi rmly on
the motor when pressing the button.

Installing/Removing Sub-bases
Fixed sub-bases (black):
To remove the sub-base, remove the sub-base
screws. To install the sub-base, secure it with the
sub-base screws.
Adjustable sub-bases (clear):
To ensure the sub-base is centered, use the center-
ing cone and pin whenever tightening, adjusting,
or changing the adjustable sub-base.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Install the sub-base and screws, but do not
tighten them.
3. Lower the motor until the collet is about 1" above
the base.
4. With the router upside down, insert the pin into
the cone, then into the collet (see Fig. 8 for cor-
rect orientation). Tighten the collet.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, do not use the dust collection port
when plunge cutting if the bit is larger than
the port opening (1-3/8"). If a rotating router
bit contacts the dust collection port, the port
will break and fl ying debris may cause injury.
Installing the Dust Collection Port (not available
on Cat. No. 5625-20)
1. If an edge guide has been installed, it must be
removed temporarily to install the dust collection
port.
2. Loosen the rod screws.
3. Place the router upright and set the circle into
the base (Fig. 9).
Fig. 9
4. Slide the rods through the base rod holes and
into the port rod holes.
NOTE: Use either the rods supplied with the dust
collection port or rods from a MILWAUKEE edge
guide.
5. Tighten the rod screws.
6. Twist a vacuum hose into the end of the port.
Templet Guides
A 1-3/16" center hole sub-base is needed to use
a template guide.
To install a templet guide, insert the guide into the
center hole of a 1-3/16" router base and secure
according to the templet guide instructions.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields.
Always unplug the tool before attaching or re-
moving accessories or making adjustments.
Use only specifi cally recommended acces-
sories. Others may be hazardous.
Never use bits larger than the smallest of
the openings in the base, sub-base, or dust
collection port.
