Fitting the router bit into the router head
Note
: Before changing or fitting the router
bit always disconnect the power to the
machine.
1.
Select a pointed router bit and its relevant
collet.
2.
Fit the collet into the spindle nut. Press the collet into
the spindle nut until it snaps into place.
Note:
The router bit must not be fitted into the collet until
the collet has been fitted into the spindle nut. With the
router bit fitted into the collet, the collet can not compress
and snap into the spindle nut.
The face of the collet and the face of the spindle nut will
be close to flush.
Note:
To remove the collet, hold the spindle nut and
press the collet on the side. The collet will compress and
pop out. Do not try and remove the collet while a cutter is
fitted as the collet will not compress and pop out.
3.
Fit the spindle nut and collet assembly onto the spindle
thread by hand.
4.
Press the bit into the collet but note, the flute of the
router bit must not be inside the collet and should be a
minimum of 1/16 “ outside the collet. Hold the router
spindle with the supplied wrench and tighten the collet
with a second wrench. Do not over tighten.
Note:
Use this process for all other router bits that you
need to fit, but you will have to change the collet if the
shank of the router bit is a different size.
