Installing and removing collets
Warning. Always ensure the tool is switched off and the
plug is removed from the power point before making any
adjustments.
When changing the collets or when changing bits, the
height of the motor assembly should be raised to close to
the maximum height to gain full access to the collet nut.
1. The powered router table is supplied with 2 collets,
1/4" (6.35mm) and 1/2" (12.7mm). The 1/2"
(12.7mm) collet is fitted to the product upon
purchase.
2. Depending on the size of the router bit the collet may
need to be changed to allow use of larger or smaller
diameter router bits.
3. Unlock the height adjustment lock (14) by rotating it
in an anti-clockwise direction using the rear end of the
wrench (18) provided.
4. Remove the collet assembly cover (15) by removing the
two inner screws on the cover and lifting the cover
away from the height adjusting ring. Clean away any
saw dust which may have built up from previous
cutting operations.
5. Loosen the collet nut assembly by pulling and holding
the spindle lock lever (12) forward. The spindle lock
lever is located on the right hand side of the motor
housing. Rotate the collet nut assembly (16) in an
anti-clockwise direction using the wrench (18)
supplied.
6. Remove the collet nut.
7. Remove the existing collet from the assembly.
8. Install the new collet into the assembly.

the spindle lock lever (12) fully forward and then
rotating the collet nut assembly (16) in a clockwise
direction using the wrench (18) supplied.
