Before Use

WARNING: ALWAYS ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply before fitting
or removing attachments, or altering any machine settings
Installing dust extraction port
• Attach the Dust Extraction Port (14) to the Base Plate (15) using the nuts and bolts supplied
• Dust from certain materials can be toxic. Attach a dust extraction system to the Dust Extraction
Port (14) whenever possible, before using the router
Installing a router bit
Note: Wear protective gloves when inserting and removing router bits due to the sharp edges of
the cutters.
• Press in the Spindle Lock Button (7) and rotate the spindle so that the lock engages
• The Collet Nut (8) can then be slackened (it may be necessary to use the supplied spanner)
• Ensure that the correct size of collet is installed. If it is necessary to change the collet, unscrew the
Collet Nut completely, change the collet and replace the nut
• Insert the router bit into the collet, ensuring that at least 20mm, or half of the shaft (whichever is
greater) is inserted into the collet
• The Collet Nut can then be tightened using the Spanner supplied.
WARNING: DO NOT over tighten the collet nut, as this could cause damage to the collet or the
spindle lock.
Removing a router bit
• Press in the Spindle Lock Button (7) and loosen the Collet Nut (8).
The router bit should now be loose and can be removed
• If the router bit does not release from the collet, gently tap the collet nut to release.
WARNING: ALWAYS keep the collet, collet nut, spindle threads and router bit shank clean to ensure
a reliable and secure fitting.
Fitting the parallel guide
• When grooving, or chamfering, use of the Parallel Guide (1) will help to ensure that accurate
cuts are made
