INSTALLING ROUTER BITS
1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
2.Raise spindle to the maximum height and tighten lock knob.
3.This machine is supplied with a 1/2 inch collet (A) Fig. 27, that accepts 1/2 inch shank router bits. A 1/4 inch adapter sleeve (B) Fig. 28, is also furnished that allows you to use 1/4 inch shank router bits.
4.Insert 1/2 inch collet (A) Fig. 27, into spindle assembly (C) and hand tighten nut (D). If you are using 1/4 inch shank router bits, insert 1/4 inch adapter sleeve
(B) Fig. 28, into 1/2 inch collet (A), making certain slot (K) in adapter sleeve (B) is aligned with the slot in 1/2 inch collet (A). NOTE: This is important for maximum clamping of the router bit in the spindle.
5.Clean and insert shank of router bit (E) Fig. 29, into collet (A) or adapter sleeve until it bottoms, then back out router bit approximately 1/16 inch.
6.Place wrench (F) Fig. 29, on flats of spindle assembly to keep spindle from turning during router bit installation.
NOTE: Spindle wrench (F) Fig. 29, features a round protrusion on one side that makes installation easier. With the open end of wrench (F) Fig. 29, on the flats of the spindle, rotate the wrench until the protrusion slides into the miter gage slot (G) as shown. Place the other wrench (H) on flats of the collet and turn wrench clockwise to tighten router bit in spindle assembly.
CAUTION: Table ridges may be sharp. To avoid personal injury, we suggest that wrenches (F) and (H) supplied with your machine be used when installing and removing router bits.
