Collet care
• From time to time, inspect the collet to make sure it is clean and is gripping the cutter bit properly.
• With the router cutter bit removed, turn the collet counter-clockwise (with the spindle lock engaged)
until it is free of the motor’s spindle shaft.
• Blow the collet out with compressed air, and clean the tapered inside of the collet to remove
woodchips, dust residue, grease, and rust before re-installing it.
• Apply a small amount of machine oil to the spindle shaft if it looks dry.
• Replace worn or damaged collets immediately.
NOTICE: The collet is self-releasing. It is NOT necessary to strike the collet to free the router cutter bit.
If the cutter bit seems to be stuck after use, loosen the collet further until it releases.
Cutter bit care
• Get faster, more accurate cutting results by keeping cutter bits clean and sharp. Remove all
accumulated pitch and gum from cutter bits after each use.
• When sharpening cutter bits, sharpen only the inside of the cutting edge. Never grind the outside
diameter. When sharpening the end of a cutter bit, be sure to grind the clearance angle the same as
it was originally ground.

7. With the cutter bit inserted and the spindle-
lock button pressed in to engage the shaft,
place the wrench on the collet/nut, and turn
it clockwise until the collet is firmly tightened
around the cutter bit (fig 2, fig 3).
WARNING!
Tighten the collet securely to prevent
the cutter bit from slipping. If the
collet is not tightened securely, the
cutter bit may detach during use,
causing serious personal injury.
NOTICE: To ensure proper gripping of the cutter-
bit shank and minimize run-out, the shank of the
cutter bit must be inserted at least 5/8" (16 mm)
into the collet.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to tool, do not tighten
the collet without a cutter bit installed.
Removing the cutter bit (fig 1
and fig 2)
1. Turn the motor off, and unplug the tool from the power source.
2. Remove the motor from the fixed base.
3. Set the motor upside down on its top cap, with the collet pointing up.
4. Press the spindle-lock button in order to engage and lock the spindle shaft and collet.
5. Place the wrench on the collet and turn it counter-clockwise in order to loosen the collet slightly
and remove cutter bit shank.
