Bit Installation and Removal
NOTE: Always snap the collet firmly into the collet nut, (past the
retainer spring) before installing a bit.
FIG. 1
Use the supplied wrench and the spindle lock as necessary to
loosen (counterclockwise) the collet nut, (Fig. 1).
Insert the round shank of the desired router bit into the loosened
collet as far as it will go and then pull it out about 1/16". Hold the
spindle shaft by depressing the spindle lock button, while firmly
tightening the collet nut with the wrench provided to prevent the
bit from slipping.
Your router has a unique locking system for retaining the bit. When
removing a bit, the collet nut must be loosened with the wrench.
The collet nut will turn approximately 3/4 of a turn and then become
tight again. At this point the bit can't be removed. Using the same
procedure, loosen the nut a second time. This lifts the collet and
makes it easy to remove the bit.
NOTE: Your router is equipped with a clear plastic cap over the
cutting area. This cap assists with dust extraction. When installing a
router bit over 1-1/8" in diameter, ensure the plastic cap is removed
or positioned above the cutting portion of the bit (Fig. 2).To remove
the cap, push it from the bottom of the router. To re-install the cap,
align the tabs (Fig. 2) and snap it into place.
