a) Release the plunge lock lever (P) and turn
the depth adjustment knob (A) counter
clockwise to raise the router motor to its
highest position. – Fig. 6
b) Next, position the router on its side or
stand it upside down on its cap before
continuing.
c) While pressing the spindle lock button (K),
rotate the spindle (J) until the spindle lock
pin engages the spindle. When the spindle
lock pin engages, you will not be able to
turn the spindle.
d) While pressing the spindle lock button,
use the 22 mm wrench to rotate the collet
(N) counter clockwise to loosen the collet.
If a bit is already in the collet the collet nut
will loosen for approximately 1 turn and
then become tight again. Continue turning
the nut counter clockwise with the wrench
until the nut is loose again. At this point
the bit should be released and easy to
remove from the collet – Fig. 7
e) Insert the router bit inside the collet
making sure that at least 80% of the
router bit shank is inside the collet but
never allow the bit shank to “bottom out”
in the collet.
f) While pressing the spindle lock button (H),
rotate the spindle (J) until the spindle lock
pin engages the spindle. Using the 22 mm
wrench, turn the collet clockwise until the
collet is tight. – Fig. 8
g) Before operating the router, follow the
directions in the section of this manual
titled "Adjusting Depth of Cut" to properly
set your depth of cut.
h) To remove a router bit, follow steps a, b,
c, and d and then remove the router bit.
