REDUCING COLLET
A second collet (11) is supplied for the use
of s
m all shanked (eg. 8 mm ) cutters.
With the router in the collet lock position
(see
“ Collet Lock ” above) use the wrench
to unscrew the standard collet, anti-
clockwise, and re
m ove it fro m the router.
Tighten the reduced collet in its’ place.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Router speed settings are not critical
- generally the highest speed which does
not result in burn
m arks on the workpiece
should be used. Where stated, always follow
the cutter
m anufacturers’ m axi m u m speed
li m itations.
Operating at reduced speed increases the
risk of da
m age to the router as a result of
overload. Use very slow feed rates and/or
m ultiple shallow cuts.
The Speed Controller
(5) is
m arked 1 to
5, corresponding
approxi
m ately with
the speeds and cutter
dia
m eters below. Turn
the dial to select the
desired speed.

DUST EXTRACTION
Dust Port
The CMT Router is
equipped with a Dust
Port (10) for chip
extraction above the
cut. It accepts 38
mm
(1½ ” ) O.D. hose,
supplied with the CMT
Dust Collector.
The hose screws into position via a left hand
thread (anti-clockwise).
DEPTH STOP & TURRET
The Depth Stop (16) and Turret are used in
the free plunge
m ode to accurately preset
up to three different cut depths.
1. Loosen the Depth
Stop Lock knob (16)
and retract the depth
stop fully, then re-
tighten.
2. Set the Turret
Thu m bwheel(s) to
the desired plunge
depth(s) using
the scales on the
turret post.
3. Fit the cutter, and
adjust the plunge
depth until the
cutter tip is level with
your
“ zero datu m”
(eg. router base or
Router Table surface).
4. Rotate the turret
until the fixed turret
post is in line with
the depth stop.
Release the stop,
allowing it to spring
onto the post, then
re-tighten.
