MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

CUTTERS

Get faster and more accurate cutting results by keeping cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum from cutters after each use.

When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of the cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be sure when sharpening the end of a cutter to grind the clearance angle the same as originally ground.

COLLET

Dust and chips may collect on the collet from time to time, making it necessary to clean the collet. To do so, remove the collet assembly and wipe it with a clean dry rag. Clean the taper in the shaft in the same manner. Never immerse the collet or end of the shaft in a solvent or in water. Before replacing the collet assembly, put a drop of SAE30 motor oil on the inside of the nut, on the threads of the shaft, and on the taper in the shaft. Replace the collet assembly onto the shaft by hand only. Never tighten the collet nut without a bit in the collet. This action could permanently damage the collet.

BRUSH ASSEMBLIES

See Figure 24.

Your router has externally accessible brush assemblies that should periodically be checked for wear.

TO REPLACE BRUSH ASSEMBLIES

■UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug your router could result in acciden- tal starting causing serious injury.

■Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush assembly is spring loaded and will pop out when you remove brush cap.

■Remove brush assembly (brush and spring).

■Check for wear. If worn, always replace in pairs. Do not replace one side without replacing the other.

■Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that brush moves freely in brush tube.

■Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and replace.

■Tighten brush cap securely. Do not over torque.
