 Loosen the lock lever on the base.
NOTE: It should not be possible to move the router
motor with the lock lever tightened and the motor cor-
rectly installed in either base. If movement is possible
with the lock lever tightened in either of the bases, an
adjustment to the lock lever needs to be made. See
Adjustments.
 Hold the handles and pull the adjustment bar from the
slot in the motor base.
 Lift the base up from the slot until the adjustment bar tab
passes out of the slot area.
 After the tab has cleared the slot, release the adjustment
bar and press the spindle lock down and in (until it fully
locks in the collet spindle) so that it slides behind the
base housing.
NOTE: When using the spindle lock for any applica-
tion, make sure that the latch goes all the way in. If the
latch is depressed and does not go all the way in, turn
the collet with the wrench provided until the spindle lock
locks into place.
 Pull the base until it dislodges from the motor. Use cau-
tion, as forcing may result in permanent damage to the
locking mechanism.
To install the base:
 Unplug the router.
 With the base right side up, loosen the lock lever.
 Push the spindle lock in, holding it into place.
 Align arrow on base with arrow on motor.
 Push the base until it lodges into the motor housing. The
spindle lock can be released once the motor slides down
into the base. It will disengage once it has cleared the
inside of the base. Use caution as forcing may result in
permanent damage to the locking mechanism.
 Pull the adjustment bar.
 Place the adjustment bar tab in the slot on the motor.
 Tighten the lock lever.
WARNING:
If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the bit may
detach during use, causing serious personal injury.
WARNING
:
Never use bits which are larger in diameter than the open-
ing in the router subbase. These situations could cause
possible loss of control or create other hazardous condi-
tions that could cause possible serious personal injury.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
the spindle lock.
WARNING:
If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be careful
not to touch the collet nut, bit, or collet with your hands or
fingers. You will get burned because of the heat buildup
from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
WARNING:
Bit continues to rotate after the router has been turned off.
To avoid injury, wait until the bit has come to a complete
stop before removing router from the workpiece.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figure 2, page 14.
 Unplug the router.
To install the bit:
 Push the spindle lock down and in, holding it into place.
 Loosen the collet nut and remove the bit.
 Insert the bit until it is approximately 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. away
from the collet nut face.
NOTE: Make sure that the collet always clamps the shank
(non-cutting end) of the bit.
 Tighten the collet nut securely by turning it clockwise with
the wrench provided.
 Release the spindle lock.
To remove the bit:
 Push the spindle lock down and in, holding it into place.
 Loosen the collet nut and remove the bit.
 Release the spindle lock.
LED WORKLIGHT
See Figure 3, page 14.
The two LED worklights on the base of the router motor will
come on when the on/off switch is in the ON ( I ) position. This
provides additional lighting on the surface of the workpiece
for operation in lower-light areas.
