Installing and removing router bits
CAUTION. Always ensure that the tool is switched off
and the plug is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments.
NOTE. The router is supplied with the 6.35mm (1/4”)
collet fitted.
WARNING. This router has a 6.35mm (1/4”) collet and
only accepts 6.35mm (1/4”) router bits. Failure to follow
this advice can lead to serious injury as the router bit
may not be properly secured in the collet, or may damage
the collet.
1. Loosen the collet nut (11) by depressing and holding
the spindle lock (10) and then rotating the collet nut.
2. Insert the router bit ensuring that the shaft of the bit
goes all the way into the collet.
3. Tighten the collet nut assembly by depressing and
holding the spindle lock and then tightening the collet
nut with the supplied spanner (16).
WARNING. Do not tighten the collet nut without a bit in
place or you may break the collet.
CAUTION. Ensure the bit is firmly secured before
commencing operation.
Installing and removing collets
CAUTION. Always ensure that the router is switched off
and unplugged from the mains supply before installing or
removing a collet.

1. Depress and hold the spindle lock (10) to stop the
spindle from turning.
2. Whilst holding the spindle lock lock, loosen the collet
nut by rotating it using the supplied spanner.
3. Remove the collet nut followed by the collet.
4. Install the new collet into the assembly; this is
sometimes easier if the router is plunged to its full
depth.
5. Install the collet nut and tighten by hand.
6. Firmly tighten the collet nut by depressing and holding
the spindle lock and then tightening the collet nut
using the supplied spanner.
