Installing and Removing the Cutter Bit
Installing the Cutter Bit
1. Turn the motor off and unplug the router from
the power source.
2. Remove the motor housing from the fixed or
plunge base.
NOTICE: See the instructions for installing and
removing the motor housing from the fixed or
plunge base in this manual.
3. Set the motor upside down on the motor-
housing top cap, with the collet/nut pointing
up.
4. Press the spindle-lock button to engage and
lock the spindle shaft and collet/nut (Fig. 3).
5. Place the wrench on the collet/nut and turn
it counterclockwise to loosen the collet/nut
slightly so that it can accept the cutter bit shank.
6. Insert the cutter bit shank into the collet/nut assembly as far as it will go, then back the
shank out until the cutters are approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch away from the face of the collet/
nut (Fig. 3a, 3b).

the wrench on collet/nut and turn it clockwise until the collet/nut is firmly tightened on the
cutter-bit shank.

Do you have a question about the RT1322-00 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Motor turns on but does not start, it begins to draw amps like it wants to start but doesn’t. Just replaced the brushes literally minutes prior to trying to turn it on.
If the Skil RT1322-00 motor turns on but does not start after replacing the brushes, possible causes could include:
1. Worn or improperly installed brushes – If the new brushes are not seated correctly or do not make proper contact with the motor, the motor may not function properly.
2. Incorrect brush type – Using brushes that are not compatible with the motor could prevent it from starting.
3. Damage to the motor or armature – If the motor was used with worn-out brushes for too long, the armature or other internal components may be damaged.
4. Dust or debris in the brush holder – Any obstruction in the brush holder may prevent proper electrical contact.
5. Faulty wiring or loose connections – If wires were disturbed during brush replacement, a poor connection could prevent the motor from running.
Checking the brush installation and ensuring they are properly seated may resolve the issue.
