I just purchased my first router. I have never used one before. The instructions said to make sure I had a bit in the collet before tightening otherwise damage would result.
I was not aware it came with two collets. I placed a 1/4 bit in the collet and tightened down only to discover the collet was larger than 1/4. Consequently the collet is in as tight as it can go. How do I remove it.
The manufacturer is Chicago Electric Power Tools. There is a button to push to keep the shaft from turning while unscrewing the collet nut and I have taken the nut all the way off. The collet is jammed and won't come out on its own and there is not a good way to try to pull it out that I can see.
Thanks
