Installing and removing collets

CAUTION.

unplugged from the mains supply before installing or removing

a collet.
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.

lock button to stop the spindle

from turning.

2. Whilst holding the spindle lock

button loosen the collet nut (12)

by rotating it using the wrench
