ASSEMBLY
Fitting Collet Extension to Router
To fit the collet extension, the 12mm or 1/2"
collet will need to be fitted into the router. The
router must be held stationery in a router table
or overhead mode. Insert the cutter shank
into the collet at least all the way to the
marked line indicated on the shank. This
ensures at least 3/4 of the shank length is
held in the collet.
A 19mm spanner is required to hold the body
of the collet extension whilst the 22mm
spanner is used on the collet nut.
Please take shallow cuts when using the
collet extension to minimise side
pressure and load on bearings.
The collet extension is rated to 24,000rpm,
however the maximum cutter speed should
not exceed 18,000 rpm.
The maximum cutter diameter should not
exceed 50mm.
Use only in a fixed head routing mode.
Maximum tool cut length 30mm.
Stop using immediately if excessive
vibration is experienced.
Fitting the Collet
The collet and nut assembly on the collet
extension assembly is a multi-slit type, which
means that the collet must be clipped into the
collet nut before fitting into the body. The
standard and accessory collet and nut sets are
supplied pre-assembled. Please check before
fitting however.
Once collet and nut are joined together, place
assembly into body of extension. Thread the
collet nut onto the body. Do not tighten.

OPERATION
Fitting Cutters to Collet Extension
Insert the cutter shank into the collet at least
all the way to the marked line indicated on the
shank. This ensures at least 3/4 of the shank
length is held in the collet.
Place a 19mm spanner onto the flats on the
collet extension body and place a 22mm
spanner on the flats of the collet. Tighten
collet nut, do not use excessive force.
Removing Cutters from Collet
Extension
Place a 19mm A/F spanner on the flats on the
collet body; undo the collet nut using the
22mm spanner. Keep turning the spanner until
the collet nut tightens and then loosens again.
This is the fail safe-mechanism releasing the
collet.
The cutter should now slide out.
Each time you finish using a cutter, remove it
and store it in a safe place.
Do not tighten the collet without a cutter
fitted. Always use cutters with shanks that
match the diameter of the collet.

Safety Points
1. Disconnect power tool and attachment from power supply when not in
use, before servicing, when making adjustments and when changing
accessories such as cutters. Ensure switch is in “off” position and
cutter has stopped rotating.
2. Read and understand instructions supplied with power tool, attachment
and cutter.
3. Current Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for eye, ear and
respiratory protection must be worn. Keep hands, hair and clothes
clear of the cutter.
4. Before each use check cutter is sharp and free from damage. Do not
use if cutter is dull, broken or cracked or if any damage is noticeable or
suspected.
5. The maximum speed (nmax) marked on tool or in instructions or on
packaging shall not be exceeded. Where stated, the speed range
should be adhered to.
6. Insert the shank into the router collet at least all the way to the marked
line indicated on the shank. This ensures at least 3/4 of shank length is
held in collet. Ensure clamping surfaces are clean.
7. Check all fixing and fastening nuts, bolts and screws on power tool,
attachment and cutting tools are correctly assembled, tight and to
correct torque setting before use.
8. Ensure all visors, guards and dust extraction is fitted.
9. The direction of routing must always be opposite to the cutter’s
direction of rotation.
10. Do not switch power tool on with the cutter touching the workpiece.
11. Trial cuts should be made in waste material before starting any project.
12. Repair of tools is only allowed according to tool manufacturers
instructions.
13. Do not take deep cuts in one pass, take shallow passes to reduce the
side load applied to the cutter.
