Use the wrench provided to turn the collet nut in a

counterclockwise direction. Continue to depress the
spindle lock button while loosening the collet nut.

With the router still upside down on a workbench, insert

the shank of the bit into the collet. The shank of the bit
should be close to but not touching the bottom of the
collet. This allows for expansion when the bit gets hot. A
clearance of 1/16 in. is adequate.

NOTE:

The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit

bits with 1/4 in. diameter shanks.

Hand-tighten the collet nut. Then, depress the spindle
lock button and continue tightening the collet nut with the
wrench provided by turning it in a clockwise direction.

WARNING:

If the collet nut is not tightened securely, the bit may come
out during use, causing serious personal injury.

Depress the motor release lever and return the base back

to an operating position.

Push the quick release lever to the closed position.

Replace the battery pack.

SETTING DEPTH OF CUT

See Figure 5, page 11.

Turn the switch

OFF

and remove the battery pack from

the router.

Pull the quick release lever to the open position.

Using the micro depth adjustment knob, adjust the posi-
tion of the router to obtain the desired depth of cut. To
move the motor housing down, turn the micro depth
adjustment knob toward the “down” arrow to the side of
the knob.

NOTE:

To set the cutting depth to zero, hold the router

in place and turn the micro depth adjustment knob until
it reads “0”.

The cutter depth can be read on the depth scale on

the motor housing. Each mark on the scale indicates a
1/16 in. change in depth setting. Use the top edge of the
removable base as reference when setting depth of cut.

Push the quick release lever to the closed position.
