Collets (Fig. D)
WARNING: Projectile hazard. Only use bits with shanks that
match the installed collet. Smaller shank bits will not be secure
and could become loose during operation.
CAUTION: Never tighten the collet without first installing
a router bit in it. Tightening an empty collet, even by hand, can
damage the collet.
Two collets

Installing and Removing a Bit (Fig. A, E)
WARNING: Do not tighten the collet without a bit fitted.
WARNING: Always use bits with shanks which match the
diameter of the collet.
WARNING: Do not use bits larger than 63 mm (2-1/2").
CAUTION: Care should be taken when removing bit to
avoid cuts to fingers. Wearing protective gloves while fitting and
changing router bits is recommended.
Installing a Bit
1. Insert at least three-fourths of the shank length of the bit into
the collet
12
2. Press the spindle lock button
nOTE: You may need to turn the spindle slightly to engage it.
3. Turn the collet counterclockwise with the supplied 22 mm
wrench
15
to tighten it.
4. Tighten collet nut securely to prevent the bit from slipping.
Removing a Bit
1. Press the spindle lock button
2. Turn the collet
wrench
15
to loosen.
3. Keep turning the wrench until the collet tightens and
then loosens again. This is the fail-safe mechanism releasing
the collet.
4. The bit should now slide out.

a safe place.
Multiple Position Turret Stop (Fig. F)
WARNING: Do not change the multiple position turret stop
while the router is running. This will place your hands too near the
bit head.
The multiple position turret stop
distance that the tool can be plunged. It consists of three
screws of different lengths that serve to define the depth of cut
by limiting the travel of the depth stop bar/rod
1. Routing depth can be set by selecting the screw of the
appropriate length on the turret.
2. The turret is rotatable with detent stops to properly align
the screws.
3. It is the interaction of the depth stop bar/rod and the
multiple position turret stop that determine the routing depth.
4. If none of the provided screws seems close to the desired
height each can be adjusted by loosening the hex nut at the
bottom and then turning the screw either in or out to make it
the proper length. After adjusting this screw be sure to tighten
the hex nut at the bottom with an 8 mm wrench
5. Refer to section Ajusting the Plunge Routing Depth for
instructions on how to use the multiple position turret stop in
an actual operation.
