Assembly

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,

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".

When the templet guide has

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,

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.

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.
