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 start-
ing causing serious injury.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
the spindle lock.

2.

Place the router upside down

 

on a workbench in order to

gain easy access to collet nut.

3.

Depress the gold spindle lock button.

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 injury.

WARNING:

Do not use cutters with undersized shanks. Undersized
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 damage both the
cutter and router. The use of larger cutters could also
cause possible loss of control or create other hazardous
conditions that could result in serious personal injury or
death.
