They will get burned because of the heat buildup from cutting. s Remove cutters by turning collet nut counterclockwise enough to allow cutter to slip easily from collet. The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit cutters with 1/4 in. s With your router still upside down on a table, insert shank of cutter into the collet. The shank of your cutter should be close to but not touching the bottom of collet. s Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with the wrench provided. Put spindle lock back in unlock position. Otherwise, the interlocking mechanism of the spindle lock will not let you turn your router on. To unlock spindle: (1) push spindle lock in, (2) slide into unlock position then, (3) release spindle lock. Set the cutter at zero depth of cut, rotate depth indicator ring to desired depth of cut on the scale, then turn depth adjusting ring back to zero depth of cut and lock clamping lever securely.

Failure to do so could result in loss of control leading to possible serious injury. For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, your router has two handles, one on each side of the router base. When using your router hold it firmly with both hands as shown in Figure 8. Turn router on and let motor build to its full speed, then gradually feed cutter into workpiece. Remain alert and watch what you are doing. Do not operate router when fatigued. PROPER FEEDING The right feed is neither too fast nor too slow. It is the rate at which the bit is being advanced firmly and surely to produce a continuous spiral of uniform chips -- without hogging into the wood to make large individual chips or, on the other hand, to create only sawdust. If you are making a small diameter, shallow groove in soft, dry wood, the proper feed may be about as fast as you can travel your router along your guide line. [. . . ] Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, loose particles or foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, causing possible serious injury. PROPER CARE OF COLLET From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean your collet and collet nut. To do so, simply remove collet nut from collet and clean the dust and chips that have collected. Then return collet nut to its original position. Do not tighten collet nut on collet without a cutter installed. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. [. . . ]
