COLLET/NUT CARE

From time to time, inspect the collet/nut to make sure it is clean and is gripping the cutter bit properly

With the router cutter bit removed, turn the collet/nut counterclockwise (with spindle lock engaged) until it is free from motor'sspindle shaft.

Blow the coltet out with compressed air, and clean the tapered inside of the collet/nut with a tissue or fine brush.

Always make sure the cutter bit shank, cotlet!nut and motor spindle are clean and free of woodchips, dust, residue, grease and rust before installing.

Apply a slight amount of machine oil to spindle shaft if it looks dry.

Replace worn or damaged collets/nuts immediately.

NOTE: The coilet/nut is self-releasing; it is NOT necessary to strike the collet/nut to free the router cutter bit. If cutter bit seems stuck after use, loosen collet/nut a little more until it releases.

CUTTER BITS

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

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