Installing cutting bits
Ill.4
WARNING: Cutting bit and router bit cutting surfaces are extremely sharp. Handle
with caution.
To loosen and tighten the collet use the collet wrench supplied with the tool.
1. Depress the shaft locking button (1) and rotate the collet lock nut (2) with the other hand
until the locking button drops into place, preventing the shaft from turning (Ill. 2).
2. While continuing to hold the shaft locking button IN, use the collet wrench (3) to turn the
collet nut counter-clockwise. Loosen the collet nut two or three turns.
3. Remove the bit if already installed in the tool.
4. Insert the new cutting bit (4) into the collet.
WARNING: Insert the bit all the way into the collet and then pull it back between
1/16” and 1/8”. This creates an air space between the motor shaft and the bit to
help protect the bit from overheating.
