when handling bits as they can cause serious injury.
Make sure that the router bit you wish to use is suitable for your router.
It must be capable of operating at the rotation speed of 23,000 RPM.
Before use, check the bit carefully for any cracks or chips. Do not use a
bit that shows signs of damage. Carefully read the instructions included
with your router bit.

To insert a bit with 1/4" shank:
First insert the router bit into the 1/4" shank adaptor. Loosen the collet nut and insert the router bit with shank
adapter into the collet as far as it will go and retract the bit by 1/16" to 1/8". Finger tighten the collet nut until the bit

collet, it will become loose during operation and result in serious personal injury.

or improperly installed.

lock and loosen the collet nut with the wrench. Remove the bit from the collet.
