G8030 3 H.P. Overarm Router
Bit Tightening
The installed router bit must be carefully tight-
ened. Two open end wrenches are supplied with
the machine.
1. Place one wrench on the flats of the spindle as
shown in Figure 9.
2. Place the second wrench on the collet nut.
3. Turn until tight.

Installing the Shield
The dust shield also serves to help keep chips
away from the operator’s face. Installation is
quick.
1. Slide the shield onto its post and place the post
in its guide hole on the side of the head.
2. Install the hex head bolt in the bottom of the
post. Use a flat washer between the bolt head
and the shield as shown in Figure 10.
3. Swing the dust shield into place and tighten it
with the hand screw.

Do not use the spindle brake to tighten the
collet nut. The collet nut must be secured
using the two supplied wrenches. If the col-
let nut is not secured properly, the bit could
fly out of the collet like a bullet. Serious per-
sonal injury could result.
