what is meant by self releasing? I had to tap out a bit, and cannot find any instructions

Self releasing when router bit shaft is smooth/new and not fasten when not in use. Since all router collet need to be tighten before use, that router bit will get rough and DOES NOT release by itself hence you need to tap it or use needle nose plier to extract the bit. There's no such thing as self releasing in router collet.

It is a self releasing collet and it does work. After loosening the hex nut until it can be moved by hand, continue on and when it backs out to the retaining ring, use your wrench to loosen further and the bit will come loose. that is why the retaining ring is there. Do NOT push the bit down for any reason when removing it as this can cause the collet to seize. By all means do NOT push the empty collet down in the bore as it will get caught in the relief groove on the router and will have to be destroyed in order to get it out. be very careful in doing this as you can easily destroy the router. Hope this helps! It is a self releasing collet and it does work.

When you turn the nut on the collet it opens up thus "self" releasing the router bit.

I believe J. Accardi has provided the best answer. The collet, bit shank and all must be clean and burr-free to function freely.

For me this is a normal chuck that when you turn the lock nut around the outside the (4) lines on the inside will release, it is possible that the washer that holds those splines together when tightening may have gotten stuck, or bound thermally. This should loosen the bit out of this when loosened. Lefty Loosey.

Found no operating instructions...they leave you totally on your own! Practice with button presses and see when you get a recording or not is the only way I've found!

Yes, it's called a "shut off lock" and when you squeeze the handle it releases pressure. On some models there's a pressure release that you pull up to release pressure. Either way, there's a way to release the pressure. Directions for using the release are included in the general use directions that come with the sprayer.

Pull back on the lever mounted on the handle so the little arrow below hits the D. Then squeeze the left hand lever and you'll be moving forward. Release and you'll stop. Good luck!

Look for the "808 #26 setout tool" online. They forgot to include it with the keychain. There's a review website that should have it and also details the operation. Can't remember it offhand, though.

There are instructions that come with it that tells you how to use the manual release

There is a lever up by the handle to lock and a release to unlock. Really handy! Much better than having to stop and manually do it.

there's a switch in the front that says tape eject. just press that and the tape door should open.

I did not have this problem, mine slid out fine. I'm not sure about a release? Sorry!

YD is right. First push the body forward to take the pressure off the handle release switch. Then step on the handle release (a toe won't work unless you have bionic toes), and gently pull the body back. Works every time for me.

Its a crappy system. You have to use the wrench to "unlock" the circular bit. That all of it out. Inside there is a cylinder with a spherical head towards the top. Take that out too. Now insert the bit through the big thing you unscrewed, and into the cylinder with the spherical head towards the top. When you push up on it, it will "tighten" the grip on your attachment part.Now just put it all back together, and tighten with the wrench.Hope that helps.

Hold it on either end and twist it back on itself. It's tricky, but keep trying and it will go.

Pull the circular tab down/in the direction of the string tails. It'll unlock the mechanism and slide to loosen the string.

As far as I know, there is no release. It slides in and out easily. I've never had it lock so that I needed to use any kind of release.

there is lever up near the front on the lift hand side. lift it put as far and it will let go and then it releases the blade.

Where the release button is...make sure you pull it up. It's kind of difficult and I actually had to look on youtube to watch a commercial of someone folding it back up. No there were no instructions like you said...very frustrating!

It has a position that locks out the retract mode and then you have to reposition it to get it back into the retract mode. Hope this helps.
