HOW TO FIT THE 6.35 mm /1/4” COLLET
(See A) ( WX15RT, WX16RT)
This router is supplied with a 6.35mm(1/4”)
collet as an accessory.
To fit the 6.35 mm(1/4”) collet (b) simply slide
it into the 12.7mm collet (a) fitted to the collet
nut.
The 6.35 mm(1/4”) collet has a flange coller to
ensure insertion to correct depth.
NOTE: 1. Do not attempt to remove the
12.7mm collet from the collet nut.
2. Always wear safety gloves when
changing the router bits.
2. MOUNTING THE EXTRACTION
ADAPTER (See B)
To connect the vacuum cleaner via a suction
hose, you must fasten dust adapter (20) to
base plate (10) with both screws and nuts (25).
When mounting the extraction
adapter, ensure correct mounting
position!
• For dust extraction, the vacuum hose can
be connected directly to the extraction
adapter.
• Clean the dust adapter (20) regularly to
ensure optimum dust extraction at all
times.
• The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for
the material to be worked.
• When vacuuming dry dust that is especially
detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a
special vacuum cleaner.
3. ON AND OFF SWITCH
a) LOCK-ON SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool.
Depress on/off switch (18) then lock on button
(16), release on/off switch first and lock-on
button second. Your switch is now locked on
for continuous use. To switch off your tool just
depress and release the on/off switch.
b) LOCK-OFF SWITCH
For starting operation of the machine, actuate
the lock-off button (16) first, then press and
hold the On/Off switch (18) afterwards. To
switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch (18).
For safety reasons the On/Off switch
of the machine cannot be locked; it
must remain pressed during the entire
operation.
Speed pre-selection
The required speed can be pre-selected with
the thumb-wheel (17) (also whilst running).
1 – 2 = low speed
3 – 4 = medium speed
5 – 6 = high speed
The required speed is dependent on the
material and can be determined by practical
testing.
After longer periods of working at low speed,
allow the machine to cool down by running it
for approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with
no load.

The values shown in the chart are standard
values. The necessary speed depends on the
material and the operating conditions, and can
be determined by practical testing.
Constant electronic control and soft
start (Only for WX16RT and WX16RT.1)
Constant electronic control maintains the
speed constant at no-load and under most
working conditions. Soft start delays the
