A wide assortment of router bits with different
profiles is available separately. Use 1/2" shank
whenever possible, and only use good quality
bits.
To prevent personal injury,
WARNING
!
always remove the plug
from power source before removing or
installing bits or accessories.
INSTALLING A ROUTER BIT
Place router upside down or lay router on its
side with the base resting on the bench.
Another option is to remove the motor from the
base before installing the bit.
1. Remove the chip shield (or flip up if plunge
base is attached.
2. Hold the armature shaft in place with the
shaft wrench (Fig. 4)
3. Next, use the collet wrench to loosen the
collet chuck assembly in counter-clockwise
direction (viewed from under the router).
4. Insert the shank of the router bit into the
collet chuck assembly as far as it will go,
then back the shank out until the cutters are
approximately 1/8" to 1/4" away from the
collet nut face.
5. With the router bit inserted and the shaft
wrench holding the armature shaft, use the
collet wrench to firmly tighten the collet
chuck assembly in a clockwise direction
(viewed from under the router). To ensure
proper gripping of the router bit and
minimize run-out, the shank of the router bit
must be inserted at least 5/8".
COLLET CHUCK CARE
With the router bit removed, continue to turn
the collet chuck counter-clockwise until it is
free of the shaft. To assure a firm grip,
occasionally blow out the collet chuck with
compressed air, and clean the taper in the
armature assembly shaft with a tissue or fine
brush. The collet chuck is made up of two
component parts as illustrated (Fig. 5); check to
see that the collet is properly seated in the
collet chuck nut and lightly thread the collet
chuck back onto the armature shaft. Replace
worn or damaged collet chucks immediately.

been removed from base, do
not use router bits greater than 2" in
diameter as they will not fit through the sub-
base.
To prevent damage to tool,
CAUTION
!
do not tighten collet without
a bit.
NOTE: The bit shank and chuck should be
clean and free of dust, wood, residue and
grease before assembling.
REMOVING THE ROUTER BIT
1. Use the shaft and collet chuck wrenches as
described earlier, and turn the collet chuck
assembly in a counter-clockwise direction.
2. Once the collet chuck assembly is loosened
continue to turn the collet chuck assembly
until it pulls the collet free from its taper, and
the router bit can be removed.
NOTE: The collet chuck is self-extracting; it is
NOT necessary to strike the collet chuck to free
the router bit.
