In order to ensure productivity and longevity for your Castle Bench-top Screw Pocket Machine, it
is essential to follow a few simple steps. How often these steps are performed depends upon
the number of hours the machine is operated each day. As a general rule, operators should
visually inspect the machine at the start of each work shift in the following manner:
6.1 Router Bit Replacement
1. Unplug the TSM-12 from the electrical outlet.
2. Lay the machine on its back so the bottom of the ma-
chine accessible. Loose the locknut and bar knob and
remove the router motor (Fig 30).

3. Remove the router bit using the wrenches provided
(Fig 31). Insert the replacement router bit until it is
fully seated. Secure the router bit with the collet
wrenches.

Note: If you prefer a slightly deeper cut, scribe a line on the supplied bit gauge to
help you remember the preferred depth to which the bit should be inserted.
