To Remove the Bit

1. Remove the motor unit from the base unit (refer to

Removing the Motor from the Fixed Base/Removing

the Motor from the Plunge Base).

2. Depress the spindle lock button

7

to hold the

spindle shaft in place while turning the collet nut

22

counterclockwise with the wrenchprovided.

To loosen using the "manual ratchet" method:

1. Without removing the wrench from the collet nut

22

release pressure on the spindle lock button

7

2. With the wrench still on the collet nut

22

, reverse the

loosening direction to reset the wrenchposition.

3. Depress the spindle lock button

7

again and turn the

wrenchcounterclockwise.

4. Repeat the procedure until the collet nut

22

is loose

and the bit can beremoved.

Collets

NOTE: Never tighten the collet without first installing a

router bit in it. Tightening an empty collet, even by hand,

can damage thecollet.

To change collet sizes, unscrew the collet assembly as

described above. Install the desired collet by reversing the

procedure. The collet and the collet nut are connected. Do

not attempt to remove the collet from the colletnut.

Locking Lever Adjustment (Fig. E)

Excessive force should not be used to clamp the locking

lever. Using excessive force may damage thebase.

When the locking lever is clamped, the motor should not

move in thebase.

Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp

without excessive force or if the motor moves in the base

afterclamping.

To adjust the locking lever’s clamping force:

1. Open the locking lever

12

(fixed base) or

39

(plungebase).

2. Using a hex wrench turn locking lever adjustment

screw

23

in smallincrements.

Turning the screw clockwise tightens the lever, while

turning the screw counterclockwise loosens thelever.

Centering the Subbase (Fig. A, F1, F2)

If you need to adjust, change, or replace the subbase, a

centering tool is recommended (refer to Accessories). The

centering tool consists of a cone and apin.

To adjust the subbase, follow the stepsbelow.

Figure F1 shows adjusting the subbase on the fixed

base and Figure F2 shows adjusting the subbase on the

plungebase.

1. Loosen but do not remove the subbase screws

24

the subbase movesfreely.

2. Insert the pin into the collet and tighten the colletnut.

3. Insert the motor into the base and clamp the locking

lever

12

39

on thebase.

4. Place the cone on the pin and lightly press down on the

cone until it stops. This will center thesubbase.

5. While holding down on the cone, tighten the

subbasescrews.
