OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Selecting the Cutter Bit
This router comes with a 1/2” collet and 1/4” collet sleeve that accept cutter bits with 1/2” and
1/4” shanks, respectively. The 1/2” collet is installed on the tool, and the 1/4” collet sleeve can
be installed inside the 1/2” collet.
WARNING
Do not use a router cutter bit that has a cutter bit diameter larger than 1-1/4
inches with the sub-base that is installed on this router, as it will not t
through the sub-base opening, will cause damage to the sub-base and the motor, and could
cause serious personal injury to the operator.
WARNING
Always turn the motor off and unplug the router before making any
adjustments or installing accessories. Failure to unplug the router could
result in accidental starting, which can cause serious personal injury.

slightly to accept the 1/4” collet sleeve (g 2a).
5. Insert the 1/4” collet sleeve into the 1/2” collet assembly as far as it will go (g 2b).
