Installing and removing router bits
CAUTION. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments.
NOTE. The router is supplied with the 6.35mm (1/4”) collet fitted.
WARNING. This router has a 6.35mm (1/4”) collet and only accepts 6.35mm (1/4”) router bits. Failure to follow this advice can lead to serious injury as the router bit may not be properly secured in the collet, or may damage the collet.
1.Loosen the collet nut (11) by depressing and holding the spindle lock (10) and then rotating the collet nut.
2.Insert the router bit ensuring that the shaft of the bit goes all the way into the collet.
3.Tighten the collet nut assembly by depressing and holding the spindle lock and then tightening the collet nut with the supplied spanner (16).
WARNING. Do not tighten the collet nut without a bit in place or you may break the collet.
CAUTION. Ensure the bit is firmly secured before commencing operation.
