Page 17: Fitting The Router Bit Into The Router Head
Fitting the Router Bit into the Router Head Note: Before changing or fitting the router bit, always disconnect the power to the machine. Note: Collets and spindle collet holes must be cleaned regularly. Ensure that the slots in the collet are free of sawdust, as sawdust builds up and will stop the collet from compressing. If the collets or spindle holes are not clean, the router bit may not run true, and this will affect the performance of your machine. -

Page 19: Do's And Don'ts
DO’S AND DON’TS 1. DO verify water level in the spindle reservoir. 2. DO lubricate all ball screws every 8 hours of run. Use 30w oil or lithium white grease lubricant or equivalent to lubricate the ball screws. Wipe off any excess to reduce dirt and dust acumination. -
Page 20: Precautions Regarding Spoil Boards
Precautions Regarding Spoil Boards The spoil board is porous when the melamine has been cut through and will absorb moisture. As moisture is absorbed, the dimensions of the board will change. In general this will not be a problem, as the changes from day to day are not significant. Also the changes will, in general, be over the complete board. -
Page 21: Removing The Job From The Spoil Board
Removing the Job from the Spoil board If you use double-sided tape to attach the job to the spoil board, lever the job off the spoil board with a wide-blade putty knife or something similar.
