Bit installation and removal (Fig. D)
Warning! Projectile hazard. Only use bits with shanks
that match the installed collet. Smaller shank bits will not be
secure and could become loose during operation.
Warning! Never tighten the collet without fi rst installing a
router bit in it. Tightening an empty collet, even by hand, can
damage the collet.
Warning! Do not use router bits with a cutting diameter in
excess of 34.9 mm in this tool.
Warning! Do not use straight router bits with a diameter larger
than 30mm.
To install the bit
Remove the motor unit from the base unit. Refer to
Removing the Motor from the Fixed Base (if needed).
Clean and insert the round shank of the desired router bit
into the loosened collet as far as it will go and then pull it
out about 1.6 mm.
Depress the spindle lock button (8) to hold the spindle.
shaft in place while turning the collet nut (16) clockwise
with the wrench provided.
Note: The unit is equipped with two spindle lock detents.
Note: Tighten collet nut securely to prevent the bit from
slipping.
To remove the bit
Remove the motor unit from the base unit (refer to
Removing the Motor from the Fixed Base/Removing the
Motor from the Plunge Base).
Depress the spindle lock button (8) to hold the
spindle shaft in place while turning the collet nut (16)
counterclockwise with the wrench provided.
Collets
Note: Never tighten the collet without fi rst installing a router bit
in it. Tightening an empty collet, even by hand, can damage
the collet.
To change collet sizes, unscrew the collet assembly as
described above.
Install the desired collet by reversing the procedure. The collet
and the collet nut are connected. Do not attempt to remove
the collet from the collet nut.
Locking lever adjustment (Fig. E)
Excessive force should not be used to clamp the locking lever.
Using excessive force may damage the base.
When the locking lever is clamped, the motor should not move
in the base.
Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp
without excessive force or if the motor moves in the base after
clamping.
To adjust the locking lever's clamping force:
Open the locking lever (9) (base unit).
Using the hex wrench provided, turn locking lever
adjustment nut (10) in small increments.
Turning the nut clockwise tightens the lever, while turning
the nut anticlockwise loosens the lever.
Centering the subbase (Fig. F)
If you need to adjust, change, or replace a subbase, a
centreing tool is recommended. The centering tool consists of
a cone and a pin.
Loosen but do not remove the subbase screws (20) so the
subbase moves freely.
Insert the pin into the collet and tighten the collet nut.
Insert the motor into the base unit and clamp the locking
lever (9) on the base.
Place the cone on the pin and lightly press down on the
cone until it stops. This will center the subbase.
While holding down on the cone, tighten the subbase
screws.
Installing a fi xed base edge guide (Fig. G)
Remove the motor unit from the base unit. Refer to Removing
the Motor from the Fixed Base.
Remove fl at head screws from storage holes on
edge guide.
Slide edge guide (19) into edge guide slot (18) on side
of base unit. Insert the two fl at head screws through the
appropriate holes in the subbase to secure the edge
guide. Tighten hardware.
Follow all instructions included with the edge guide.
Note: To remove the edge guide, reverse the above
procedure. After removing edge guide, always replace the two
fl at head screws into the storage holes on the edge guide to
prevent loss.
Attaching and Removing a Dust Extraction System
to the Fixed Base
To attach (Fig. H-M)
1. Place dust extraction system attachment accessory (12)
on the base (7) and hold down on the screw side as
shown in Fig. I.
2. Press down on the opposite side of the accessory until
there is a click as shown in Fig. J.
3. Check that the pin on the adapter is seated in the hole (17) on
the base as shown in Fig. K.
4. Install screw (13) as shown in Fig. L.
To remove (Fig. M, N)
1. Remove screw as shown in Fig. M.
2. Pull accessory away from the unit (to the left) to remove it
from the base as shown in Fig. N.
