CAUTION
DO NOT place vacuum pumps under the machine. Vacuum
pumps run hot and may warp the machine frame or damage
the worktable.
5.5 Fitting the Dust Hose
1. Fit a 6-inch dust hose (not supplied) to the dust collection port located at the top of the
machine and secure using a hose clamp. Verify the clamp is tight.
2. The dust hose will follow the spindle head across the entire worktable. If there is insufficient
slack, the hose may be damaged or broken. It is recommended that the hose be suspended
from the ceiling of the shop with sufficient slack so as not to restrict movement. This will
prevent the dust collection hose from becoming a tripping hazard or interfering with the
machine during operation and causing damage.
5.6 Switching Out the Tooling
1. Select the desired router bit and a collet of correct size.
2. Fit the collet into the spindle nut. Press the collet into the spindle nut until it snaps into place.
The router bit must not be fitted into the collet until the collet
has been fitted into the spindle nut. With the router bit fitted
in the collet, the collet cannot compress and snap into the
spindle nut.
