3. Slide the base of the router bit into the collet as
shown in Figure 8.
4. Finger tighten the nut, keeping a grip on the bit.
Router bits are very sharp. Use care in
handling to prevent injury.
Always use bits that are rated for 20,000
R.P.M. or higher. Do not use bits that are
designed for slow R.P.M. operation. If you
do not know the maximum rated R.P.M. for
a particular bit, do not use it in the overarm
router. The bit could break apart under the
high centrifical forces, causing flying metal
to be launched into the air like a bullet.
Serious personal injury or death could
result.
