Read the ENTIRE IMpORTANT SAFETy INFORMATION section at the beginning of this 

manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Tool Set Up

TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM AccIDENTAL OpERATION: 

Make sure that the Trigger is in the off-position and unplug the tool from its 

electrical outlet before performing any procedure in this section.

Installing the Router Bit

1.  Unplug the Router from the electrical outlet.

2.  Place the Small Wrench over the 

Spindle to keep it from turning.

3.  Use the Large Wrench to loosen the Collet Nut,  

but do not remove it.

4.  If there is already a bit in the Collet Cone, remove it.

5.  Push the shank end of the new bit into the opening 

in the Collet Nut. There may be some resistance, 

so make sure that it goes in all the way.

6.  While holding the Small Wrench over the Spindle, 

tighten the Collet Nut with the Large Wrench.

Adjusting cutting Depth

Set the depth of cut using the scale 

marked on the side of the Router.

1.  Install the router bit as previously described.

2.  Loosen the Base Knob. Slide the Base downward 

so the router bit is retracted within the Base.

3.  Place the Base on a flat surface, and slide the 

Router down in the Base until the tip of the bit 

contacts the work surface. Tighten the Base Knob.

4.  The scale on the Housing now shows the 

starting position. This starting position 

will vary depending on the bit used.

5.  Add the desired depth of cut to the starting position.  

For example, if the starting position is 1″ 

and the desired depth of cut is 1/2″, the 

correct adjustment on the scale is 1-1/2″. 

6.  Loosen the Base Knob, and raise the holder 

until the scale shows the correct reading; 

in this example 1-1/2″. Tighten the Base Knob.

7.  Make a test cut on a piece of scrap material 

to ensure that the adjustment is correct.
