How to Fit and Remove a Router
Cutter
Fitting Cutters
n
Insert at least
3
/
4
of the shank length of the
cutter (1) into the collet.
n
Press the spindle lock (2) forward until the
router spindle is locked (you may need to turn
the spindle slightly to engage it).
n
Tighten the collet nut with the spanner (3). Do
not use excessive force.
Removing Cutters
n
Undo the 17mm A/F collet nut with the
spanner.
n
Keep turning the spanner until the collet nut
tightens and then loosens again. This is the
fail-safe mechanism releasing the collet.
n
The cutter should now slide out.
n
Each time you finish using a cutter, remove it
and store it in a safe place.
n
WARNING: Do not tighten the collet
without a cutter fitted.
n
WARNING: Always use cutters with
shanks which match the diameter of
the collet.
n
WARNING: Deep cuts should always
be routed in several passes.
n
WARNING: Do not use cutters larger
than 40mm unless the router is
fitted in a router table.
