the size is not known insert the bit into the collet. The collet which offer a machine fit to the shank is
the correct one to use. Do not force the bit into a collet. Replace the spring and place the collet into
the spindle before loosely replacing the nut (H). Slide in the bit allowing approx. 5-10mm overhang
before tighten the collet nut (observe the router bit’s manufacturers instructions for more specific
information).
NOTE:
Ensure at least 75% of the shank is inside the collet. Do not tighten the collet with no bit
fitted as this will cause damage. Do not over tighten the collet nut.
WARNING:
Take care when handling the cutter bits as they are extremely sharp. When
cutting is complete remove the bit before cleaning and storing it in a safe place.
