Cutter Bits; Installing The Router Motor In The Base - Craftsman 320.2767 Operator's Manual

CUTTER BITS
Keep cutter bits clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum from
cutter bits after each use.
When sharpening cutter bits, sharpen only the inside of the cutting edge for
faster, more accurate cutting results. Never grind the outside diameter. Be sure,
when sharpening the end of a cutter bit, to grind so that the clearance angle is
the same as originally ground.
INSTALLING THE ROUTER MOTOR IN THE BASE (Fig. 5)
_, WARNING: Never use the router motor without installing it into either an
approved fixed or plunge base. Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury and damage to motor.
WARNING: Always turn the motor off and unplug the router from the power
source before making any adjustments or installing accessories. Failure to turn
the motor off and unplug the router could result in accidental starting, which can
cause serious personal injury.
NOTE: Install the collet/nut and router cutter bit you are going to use before
installing the motor housing in the fixed base.
