OPERATION
REMOVING/INSERTING CUTTERS
See Figure 8.
Follow these steps to remove or insert cutters.
1. Unplug the router.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the tool 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 be-
fore engaging the spindle lock.
2.
Depress the gold spindle lock button.
3.
Place the router upside down
on a workbench in order
to gain easy access to collet nut.
4.
Loosen the collet nut by turning it counterclockwise
with the wrench provided.
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 buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench
provided.
5.
Choose one of these options:
■
To remove the cutter:
Remove the cutter from the collet.
■
To insert the cutter:
a) Insert the shank of the cutter until the shank
bottoms out, then pull it out 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) to
allow for expansion when the bit gets hot.
b) Tighten the collet nut securely by turning it
clockwise with the wrench provided.
c) Release the gold spindle lock button.
WARNING:
If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the cutter
may detach during use causing serious personal in-
jury.
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 subbase. Use of such cutters
will come in contact with the router subbase and dam-
age both the cutter and router. The use of larger cut-
ters could also cause possible loss of control or cre-
ate other hazardous conditions that could result in
serious personal injury or death.
