How to Fit and Remove a Router
Cutter
Fitting Cutters
■ Insert at least
3
/4 of the shank length of the
cutter (1) into the collet.
■ Press the spindle lock (2) forward until the
router spindle is locked (you may need to turn
the spindle slightly to engage it).
■ Tighten the collet nut with the spanner (3). Do
not use excessive force.
Removing Cutters
■ Undo the 17mm A/F collet nut with the
spanner.
■ Keep turning the spanner until the collet nut
tightens and then loosens again. This is the
fail-safe mechanism releasing the collet.
■ The cutter should now slide out.
■ Each time you finish using a cutter, remove it
and store it in a safe place.
■
Do not tighten the collet without a
cutter fitted.
■ Always use cutters with shanks
which match the diameter of the
collet.
■ Do not use cutters larger than
40mm unless the router is fitted in a
router table.
