Fitting the Router Bit into the Router Head-

Safety Note

: Before changing or fitting the router bit, always disconnect the power from the machine. 

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 cannot 

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.

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. 

Fully Assembled.
