COLLET CHUCK CARE

(Model 1825 only)

With the router bit removed, continue to turn the collet nut counter-clockwise until it is loose. To assure a firm grip, occasionally blow out the collet chuck and clean with a tissue or fine brush. The collet chuck is made up of two component parts as illustrated (Fig. 6); check to see that the adapter sleeve if needed is properly seated in the collet nut and lightly thread the collet nut back onto the armature shaft. Replace a worn or damaged collet chuck assembly immediately.
