SWITCHING FROM FIXED BASE TO PLUNGE
BASE
See Figures 2 - 4, pages 18 and 19.
To remove the fixed base:
 Unplug the router.
 Loosen the lock lever on the fixed base.
NOTE: It should not be possible to move the router
motor with the lock lever tightened and the motor cor-
rectly installed in either base. If movement is possible
with the lock lever tightened in either of the bases, an
adjustment to the lock lever needs to be made. See
Adjustments.
 Hold the router motor with one hand, and with the other,
depress and hold the adjustment button.
 Pull the adjustment bar tab from the slot in the motor
base.
 Lift the motor up from the slot until the adjustment bar
tab passes out of the slot area.
 Pull the base until it dislodges from the motor hous-
ing. Use caution, as forcing may result in permanent
damage to the locking mechanism.
To install the plunge base:
 Unplug the router.
 Loosen the lock lever.
 Tighten the locking arm for stability.
 Align the router motor tab with the groove in the plunge
base.
 Slide motor through base until it clicks into position with
the stop bar.
 Tighten the lock lever.

WARNING:
If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the bit
may detach during use, causing serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
Do not use bits which are larger than 2-1/4 in.
Never use bits which are larger in diameter than
the opening in the router subbase. These situations
could cause possible loss of control or create other
hazardous conditions that could cause possible
serious personal 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.
WARNING:
If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be
careful not to touch the collet nut, bit, or collet with
your hands or fingers. You will get burned because
of the heat buildup from cutting. Always use the
wrench provided.
INSTALLING/REMOVING COLLETS
The router has two different size collets, a 1/2 in., and a 1/4
in. The 1/4 in. collet should be used with smaller bits for
finer work, while the 1/2 in. collet can be used with larger
bits that require heavier use.
The collet must be attached to the collet nut before it is put
into the shaft.
To remove collet:
 Unplug the router.
 Hold the collet nut with the supplied wrench and depress
and hold the spindle lock until it locks into place.
