INSTALL THE CUTTER BIT (fig 2)
1. Turn the motor off and unplug the
router from the power source.
2. Remove the motor housing from the
fixed or plunge base.
3. Set the motor upside down on its top
cap, with the collet pointing up.
4. Press the spindle-lock button to
engage and lock the spindle shaft and
the collet. Place the wrench on the
collet and turn it counter-clockwise to slightly loosen the collet and accept
the cutter-bit shank.
5. Insert the cutter-bit shank into the collet assembly as far as it will go, then
back the shank out until the cutter is approximately 1/8 to 1/4” (3.2 to 6.4
mm) away from the face of the collet.
6. With the cutter bit inserted and the spindle-lock button pressed in to engage
the shaft, place the wrench on the collet and turn it clockwise until the collet
is firmly tightened on the cutter bit.

NOTICE:
• If the cutter bit cannot be removed, you can remove the collet and bit together and then
knock the bit out from the collet.
• To ensure proper gripping of the cutter-bit shank and minimize run-out, the shank of the
cutter bit must be inserted into the collet at least 5/8” (15.9 mm).
WARNING!
• Tighten the collet securely to prevent the cutter bit from slipping. If the
collet is not securely tightened, the cutter bit may detach during use causing
serious personal injury.
• Do not use a cutter bit that has a diameter larger than the two sub-base
openings [2” (50.8 mm)]. A larger cutter bit will not fit through the sub-base
opening, will cause damage to the sub-base and the motor, and could cause
serious personal injury to the operator.
