INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BIT
Disconnect the tool from the power source!
1. Remove the chip deflector (N) Fig. 9.
2. If the bit is too large to fit through the center hole of the dust cover (G) Fig. 8,
remove the dust cover.
3. Turn the router upside down and stand it on the motor cap.
4. Clean and insert the shank of the bit into the collet at least 3/4". If the shank
"bottoms" in the router, back it out
approximately 1/16" to allow for
proper tightening.
5. Press on the spindle lock (R) Fig. 9
while turning the chuck (D) Fig. 9
until it locks into place.
6. Tighten the collet nut (D) Fig. 10 with
the wrench provided.
7. To remove the bit, loosen the collet
nut. If the bit does not remove easily,
continue to loosen the collet nut until
the nut forces the collet retaining ring
to lift.
8. Reinstall the chip deflector.
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE DEPTH
Disconnect the tool from the power source!
1. Loosen the depth rod-locking knob (K) Fig. 11, and the depth indicator knob,
(J) Fig. 11 to allow the depth rod (L) Fig. 11 to contact one of the depth stops
(M) Fig. 11. Normally the deepest cut is set with the depth rod (L) Fig. 12
resting on the base casting (A) Fig. 12. Adjust the three adjustable stops (B)
Fig. 12 to any desired height to allow for stock removal in steps. This action
will prevent overloading the motor or the various depths that may be required
for a particular job.
