Bit Assembly Removal - Craftsman CompuCarve 133.217540 Operator's Manual

Bit Assembly Removal
To remove a bit quickly, a thumb should be placed on the Z-Truck Grip
Ridge (see Figure 25 below) and the Chuck Release Flange should be
pulled up while pulling lightly on the bit with the opposite, gloved hand.
WARNING: Use caution to avoid being cut by the sharp
cutting edges of the router bit. Use caution if the bit has
recently been in use; it may be HOT and a glove will be
required to handle it.

BIT REMOVAL TOOL INSERTION
Alternately, the supplied bit
removal tool can be used to
extract the router bit as shown in
Figures 26 and 27. Slide the
removal tool under the release
flange and into the adapter slot
and then lift the handle in a
gentle prying motion. The
removal tool straddles the bit
adapter to hold it and keep it
from falling as the bit is released.
The bit and its collet assembly
will drop out onto the removal
tool as it lifts the release flange.
After removing a bit using the
removal tool, the quick release
chuck may be left un-cocked.
To cock it, push the flange up on
the chuck to prepare for insertion
of another bit.
