Bit Installation and Removal (Fig. 2-4)
FIG. 2
NOTE: Always snap the collet firmly into the collet nut, (past the retainer
spring) before installing a bit.
Use the supplied wrench and the spindle lock as necessary to loosen
(counterclockwise) the collet nut (B).
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". Ho)ld the spindle shaft
by depressing the spindle lock button (A), 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 (L) is removed or
positioned above the cutting portion of the bit. To remove the cap, push
it from the bottom of the router. To re-install the cap, align the tabs (M)
and snap it into place.
