CARE AND MAINTENANCE

General
WARNING
• All maintenance should only be carried out by an authorized service organization.
• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. The use of any other parts may create
a hazard or cause damage to the product.
Cleaning
WARNING
• Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, remove the battery pack from the router.
• Wear a mask and proper eye protection when you clean the tool.
Keep all ventilation openings clean to prevent overheating of the motor.
Always use only a soft, dry cloth to clean your router, never use any detergent or alcohol.
Collet Care
• From time to time, inspect the collet to make sure that it is clean and gripping the cutter bit
properly.
• With the cutter bit removed, turn the collet counterclockwise (with the spindle lock engaged)
until it is free of the motor's spindle shaft.
• Always make sure that the cutter-bit shank, collet/nut, and motor spindle are clean and free
of woodchips, dust, residue, grease, and rust before installing a cutter bit or collet/nut. Apply
a small amount of machine oil to the spindle shaft if it looks dry.
• Blow the collet out with compressed air and clean the tapered inside of the collet to remove
woodchips, dust residue, grease, and rust before re-installing it.
• Replace worn or damaged collets immediately.
WARNING
• Wear proper eye protection and a mask when using compressed air to clean the tool.
NOTICE: The collet is self-releasing. It is NOT necessary to strike the collet to free the cutter
bit. If the cutter bit seems to be stuck after use, loosen the collet further until it releases.
Cutting Bit Care
• Keep cutting bits clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum from cutting bits
after each use.
• When sharpening cutting bits, sharpen only the inside of the cutting edge. Never grind the
outside diameter. When sharpening the end of a cutting bit, be sure to grind the clearance
angle the same as it was originally ground.
Lubrication
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant
for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
