BIT INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL (FIG. 3, 4)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FIG. 3

I
Always snap the collet (I)
firmly into the collet nut
(G), (past the retainer
spring) before installing a
bit.
Use the supplied wrench
and the spindle lock
button (H) as necessary to
loosen (counterclockwise)
the collet nut, as shown.
Insert the round shank of
the desired router bit into
the loosened collet as far
as it will go and then pull
it out about 1/16" (1.6 mm).
Hold the spindle shaft by depressing the spindle lock button while
firmly tightening the collet nut with the wrench.
Your router has a unique locking

system for retaining the bit. When
removing a bit, the collet nut must
be loosened with the wrench. The
collet nut will turn approximately
3/4 of a turn and then become
tight again. At this point the bit
can’t be removed. Using the same
procedure, loosen the nut a
second time.This lifts the collet and
makes it very easy to remove the
bit.
