Warning!
Cutting bits and router bits are extremely sharp . Handle with care .
Part Action
1 Remove plastic coating on cutting bit, if applicable .
2 Press on the spindle locking button (1) . Rotate the collet
nut (2) until the spindle locking button clicks into place . This
prevents the spindle from turning .
3 Press down on the spindle locking button, and use the
Ø 16mm (Ø 5/8") collet wrench (3) to turn the collet nut
counter-clockwise . Loosen the collet nut several turns .
4 Remove existing bit if one is already in the collet .
5 Insert the new cutting bit (4) fully into the collet, then pull
it back between 1mm (1/32") and 3mm (1/8") to create an
air space between the motor shaft and the bit . This helps
protect the bit from overheating .
Note: If the shank of the bit being installed is a different size
to the bit being removed, install the correct collet . Refer to
Changing the collets on page 15 .
