WARNING: Do not use cutters with undersized
shanks. Undersized shanks will not tighten
properly and could be thrown from tool causing
injury.
L WARNING: Before connecting your router to
power supply, always check to be sure it is not in
lock-on position (depress and release switch
trigger). Failure to do so could result in accidental
starting of your router resulting in possible
serious injury. Also, do not lock the trigger on
jobs where your router may need to be stopped
suddenly.
To use cutters with 1/4 in. shank bits, the 1/2 in.

with the 1/4 in. collet assembly. Remove the 1/2 in.
collet assembly by removing collet nut, loosening
collet screw by turning clockwise securing collet to
motor shaft, then removing collet assembly.
Note: The collet screw has left hand threads
and you will need a #2 phiINps screwdriver to
loosen collet screw. Turn screw clockwise to
loosen and counterclockwise to tighten.
Replace with the 1/4 in. collet assembly, securely
tightening collet screw turning counterclockwise in
collet to motor shaft, then reassemble

nut. See Figure 4.
Insert shank of cutter into collet until shank
bottoms out, then pull it out 1/16 in. to allow for
expansion when the cutter gets hot.
