c
lockwise direction as viewed from bottom
of router (Fig. 3).
6. Push the spindle locking bar 7 back into
disengaged position.
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".
To prevent damage to
tool, do not tighten collet
without a bit.
REMOVING THE ROUTER BIT
1. Pull out the spindle locking bar 7 up to the
marking arrow 6 on the housing. If
necessary, turn the spindle manually until it
is locked in place. There are six lock
positions offset by 60° (Fig. 2).
2. Next, use the collet wrench 18 to loosen the
collet nut 9 in a counter-clockwise direction
as viewed from bottom of router. (Fig. 3).
3. Continue to turn the collet chuck assembly 9
until it pulls the collet 15 free from the
spindle 16, and the router bit 17 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
To assure a firm grip, occasionally blow out the
collet chuck with compressed air, and clean
the taper in the spindle assembly shaft with a
tissue or fine brush.
The collet chuck is made up of two component
p
arts that snap together (Fig. 5); check to see
that the collet 15 is properly seated in the collet
chuck nut 9 and lightly thread the collet chuck
back onto the spindle.
Replace worn or damaged collet chucks
immediately.
