Installing the Router Bit
1.
Always unplug the Router Line Cord from the electrical outlet before making
adjustments and before installing bits.
2.
Insert the Spanner Wrench (75) over the Collet Nut (31) and press in on the Spindle
Lock button to keep it from turning.
3.
Loosen the Collet Nut (31) by turning it counterclockwise, but do not remove.
4.
If there is already a bit in the Collet Cone, remove it.
It may be necessary to remove the Collect Nut to exchange the Collet Adapter for a
1/8” or 1/4” size, depending on the size of the bit shank. Replace the Collect Nut.
5.
Make sure that the bit used is rated at more than 34,000 RPM. Push the shank end
of the new bit through the opening in the Collet Nut. There may be some resistance, so
make sure that it goes in all the way.
6.
Press in on the Spindle Lock button, then tighten the Collet Nut (clockwise) with the
Spanner Wrench (75).
Adjusting Cutting Depth
You can set the depth of cut using the Ruler (44) scale on the side of the Router.
1.
Install the router bit as previously described.
2.
Loosen (counterclockwise) both Handles (37) securing the Ring (38) to the Guide
Poles (41). Slide the Ring (38) upward so the router bit is retracted within the Base.
3.
Place the Base (54) on a flat surface and slide the Ring (38) down until the tip of the
bit contacts the flat surface.
The Ruler scale now shows the starting position. This starting position will vary,
depending on the bit used.
4.
Add the desired depth of cut to the starting position. For example, if the starting
position is 1/4 inch, and the desired depth of cut is 1/2 inch, the correct adjustment on
the Ruler is 3/4 inch.
5.
Raise the Ring (38) using the Handles (37) until the scale shows the correct reading.
Tighten both Handles (clockwise). You are now ready to cut.
Note: It is always wise to make a test cut to ensure that the Router is adjusted properly before
beginning to cut the final workpiece.
