   UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.

  

   

WARNING:

            Failure  to  unplug  your  router  could  result  in 

accidental starting causing serious injury.

     

CAUTION:

            To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, 

always  allow  motor  to  come  to  a  complete  stop 
before engaging spindle lock.

    Depress spindle lock.
    Lay  router  down  on  work  bench  in  order  to  gain  easy 

access to collet nut .

    Place  the  wrench  provided  through  front  of  router  base 

onto collet nut and turn counterclockwise to loosen.

 
           

WARNING:

            If  you  are  changing  a  cutter  immediately  after  use, 

be careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your 
hands or fingers. They will get burned because of the 
heat  build  up  from  cutting.  Always  use  the  wrench 
provided.

    Install router bit once collet nut is loose. If changing bits, 

the bit already installed will easily slip from collet after 
loosening the collet nut. NOTE: The collet is machined to 
precision tolerances to fit bits with 12.7 mm (1/2”) diameter 
shanks. To use bits with 6.35 mm ( 1/4”) diameter shanks, 
insert the 6.35 mm ( 1/4”) collet adaptor into the 12.7 mm 
(1/2”)collet.

   Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with 

the wrench provided.

    Release spindle lock.

          WARNING:

            If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the cutter may 

detach during use causing serious personal injury.

      

          

WARNING:

 

Do not use cutters with undersized shanks. Under- 
sized shanks will not tighten properly and could be 
thrown from the tool causing injury.

    
          

WARNING:

 

Do not use cutters that are larger in diameter than the 
opening in router base. Use of such cutters will come in 
contact with the router base and damage both the cutter 
and router base. This situation could also cause possible 
loss of control or create other hazardous conditions that 
could cause possible serious personal injury.
