INSTRUCTIONS & PARTS LIST FOR RT8AS SERIES ROUTERS
Read and understand "Safety Instructions For Air Tools" and these instructions before
operating this tool.
AIR SUPPLY
The efficiency of the tool is dependent on the proper supply of clean dry air at 90 psig (6.2 bar). The use of a line filter,
pressure regulator, and lubricator will insure maximum output and life of tools. Before connecting tool, blow out the air line to
remove water and dirt which may have accumulated.
HOSE AND HOSE CONNECTIONS
Supply hose should be not less than 3/8" (10mm) I.D. Extension hoses should be at least 1/2" (13mm) I.D. Use couplings and
fittings with at least 3/8" (10mm) I.D.
LUBRICATION
Use SIOUX No. 288 air motor oil. An airline lubricator, set to deliver 2 to 3 drops per minute, is recommended. If a lubricator is
not used, add .08 oz. (2.4 cc, 24 to 30 drops) of oil into the air inlet every 2 to 3 hours.
GENERAL OPERATION
• The tool may be equipped with a lock-out type lever in order to prevent accidental startup.
• Speed of the tool may be adjusted by turning the speed control, which is located under the lever.
• For best results, the direction of the tool travel is generally from left to right.
• It is recommended that movement be counterclockwise on outside curves and clockwise on inside curves. The tool spindle
rotates clockwise.

2. Remove nose piece assembly.
3. Hold collet stationary with a 9/16 (14.3 mm) wrench. Loosen collet retaining nut with 11/16 (17.5 mm) wrench.
