Installing the Router Bit in the Tool Holder
Caution: Before changing or fitting the router bit, always disconnect the
power to the machine.
1) Select a router bit and its relevant collet.
2) Fit the collet into the spindle nut. Press
the collet into the spindle nut until it snaps
into place.
Note.
The router bit must not be fitted into
the collet until the collet has been fitted
into the spindle nut. With the router bit
fitted into the collet, the collet can not compress and
“snap” into the spindle nut. The face of the collet
and the face of the spindle nut will be close to flush.
Note:
To remove the collet, hold the spindle nut and
press the collet on the side. The collet will compress
and pop out. Do not try to remove the collet while a
cutter is fitted, as the collet will not compress and
pop out.
3) Fit the spindle nut and collet assembly onto the tool holder spindle thread
by hand.
Press the bit into the collet, but note that the flute of the router bit must not be
inside the collet and should be a minimum of 1/16" outside the collet. Hold the
toolholder with the supplied wrench and tighten the collet with a second
wrench. Do not over tighten.
Note:
Use this process to install each of the router bits into the tool holders,
being careful to use the correct collet size for each router bit.
Note:
Keep the collets clean and blow all dust out of the slots. Fine dust
accumulates and may affect the clamping action.
