Follow these steps to remove or insert cutters. Unplug the router. TO LOOSEN WARNING: Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing serious injury. TO TIGHTEN CAUTION: To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging the spindle lock. Place the router upside down on a workbench in order to gain easy access to collet nut. Loosen the collet nut by turning it counterclockwise with the wrench provided. WARNING: If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands or fingers. They will get burned because of the heat buildup from cutting. Choose one of these options: To remove the cutter: Remove the cutter from the collet. To insert the cutter: a) Insert the shank of the cutter until the shank bottoms out, then pull it out 1/16 in. (1. 6 mm) to allow for expansion when the bit gets hot. b) Tighten the collet nut securely by turning it clockwise with the wrench provided. c) Release the gold spindle lock button. 8 WARNING: If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the cutter may detach during use causing serious personal injury. WARNING: Do not use cutters with undersized shanks. Undersized shanks will not tighten properly and could be thrown from the tool causing injury. WARNING: Do not use cutters that are larger in diameter than the opening in router subbase. Use of such cutters will come in contact with the router subbase and damage both the cutter and router. The use of larger cutters could also cause possible loss of control or create other hazardous conditions that could result in serious personal injury or death. 13 OPERATION ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT Proper depth of cut depends on several factors: the peak horsepower of the router motor, the type of cutter, and the type of wood. A lightweight, low horsepower router is designed for making shallow cuts. [. . . ] To do so, remove the collet assembly and wipe it with a clean dry rag. Clean the taper in the shaft in the same manner. Never immerse the collet or end of the shaft in a solvent or in water. Before replacing the collet assembly, put a drop of SAE30 motor oil on the inside of the nut, on the threads of the shaft, and on the taper in the shaft. [. . . ]
