5.
Place the wrench on the collet/nut and turn it counterclockwise to slightly loosen
the collet/nut, and then remove the cutting-bit shank from the collet/nut.
NOTE: The collet/nut is self-releasing; it is not necessary to strike the collet/nut
to free the cutting bit. If the cutting bit seems to be stuck, loosen the collet/nut a
little more until it releases the cutting bit.
COLLET/NUT CARE
1.
From time to time, inspect the collet/nut to make sure that it is clean and that
it is gripping the cutting bit properly.
2.
With the cutting bit removed and with the spindle lock engaged, turn the
collet/nut counterclockwise until it is free from the motor’s spindle shaft.
3.
Blow the collet/nut out with compressed air, and clean the tapered inside of
the collet/nut with a tissue or a fine brush.
4.
Always make sure that the cutting bit shank, collet/nut, and motor spindle are
clean and free of woodchips, dust, residue, grease, and rust before re-installing.
5.
Apply a small amount of machine oil to the spindle shaft if it looks dry.
Always replace a worn or damaged collet/nut before further use.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
WARNING: Your palm router should never be turned on or be connected
to the power source when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing the collet/nut or cutting bits, cleaning, or when it is not in
use. Disconnecting the router will prevent accidental starting, which could cause
serious personal injury.
NOTE: All depth adjustments must be made with the motor clamp open.
NOTE: For this palm router, the cutting-bit depth equals the amount of the
cutting bit that is exposed below the surface of the sub-base.
