4. Preparations
Things to consider before starting: What are the steps of the work process? Which
tools will be needed? Which accessories need to be attached? How is the work-
piece to be secured?
Test the router on a piece of waste material before cutting the real workpiece.
5. Use
5.1 Router Cutter Selection
Select a router cutter (bit) that is sharp, undamaged and has a shank that fits into
the collet. Remember that a small diameter cutter requires a high speed.
5.2 Router Cutter Fitting
Important! Unplug the router and let the spindle stop completely before
performing any service or maintenance.
1. Turn the router upside down.
2. Press in the spindle lock button (7).
3. Undo the collet nut using the spanner.
4. Insert a suitable collet.
5. Fit the router cutter into the collet (20 mm or
at least half of the shank should be inserted
into the collet).
6. Tighten the collet nut using the spanner.
Note: Do not overtighten the collet nut, the
collet can become damaged and be difficult to
remove. Check the tightness of the collet befo-
re setting the cutting depth (if the collet is loose,
the cutter could slip and alter the cutting depth).
