WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before attaching or removing accessories or making adjustments. Use only speciﬁcally recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

Collets

The collet must be attached to the collet nut before it is put into the collet shaft. Be sure that the size of the collet matches the size of the bit shank being used. If the wrong size bit shank is used, the collet may break. For attaching or detaching the collet nut to the collet, follow the illustrated instructions on this page.

Attaching Collet to Collet Nut

To assemble, place the narrow end of the collet on an even surface. Take the nut and place it over the collet (Fig. 1).

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, use only the following router tables and lifts with this motor.

JessEm Mast-R-Lift™ #02101 with required Shim Kit #02116

JessEm Mast-R-Lift™ #02102 with required Shim Kit #02116

JessEm Mast-T-Excel™ #02201 with required Shim Kit #02116.

Using other tables and lifts may not properly secure the Router Table Mo- tor with Remote Power. An improp- erly secured motor increases the risk of injury or product damage.

To install the motor into a router lift, read, understand, and follow the instructions pack- aged with the router lift.

Installing the Bit

It is not necessary to remove the motor from the lift to install a collet assembly or a bit. (If removal of the motor is desired, see the lift instructions.) Raise the motor as high as possible. Always wipe wood chips, dust or other foreign materials from the collet shaft and collet assembly before assembling.

Insert the collet assembly into the collet shaft. Insert the bit shank into the collet as follows:

1.Insert the bit shank into the collet as far as it will go.

2.Back the bit shank out slightly to avoid bottoming out.

3.Be sure there is a minimum of 1/16" be- tween the bottom of the collet assembly and the radius to the cutting portion of the bit (Fig. 5).

collet should be clamped to a solid part

on the bit shank.

5. To tighten the bit in the collet assembly,

use two wrenches (Fig. 6).

NOTE: Never tighten a collet assembly without inserting a bit shank of the proper size. This may damage the collet.

Removing the Bit

1.Loosen the collet nut from the collet shaft using two wrenches.

2.Once loose, unscrew the collet nut by hand until it feels tight again.

3.Return to using the wrenches until the bit shank can be pulled out.
