Trend T5 Router bits coming loose

[Nobbly]

I've just tried using my new Trend T5 router with the DC400 dovetail jig but my bits just keep coming loose. I've tried an 8mm bit with an 8mm collet and a 6mm bit with a 6mm collet both keep coming loose after 30-60 seconds.

Thought it might be some little trick that i'm missing so i checked out the instructions. It says don't use excessive force when tightening the collet. I've even tried swinging off the spanner to get it tighter but whatever I do they still fall out. I've been routing for 5-6 years with my old Skill router no problems. What's going on????????

I have tried the bit in a little bit, half way and 3/4 of the way in. Could be a problem with the router itself.

Just contacted Trend Tech support (must say very good service) who offer to send a courier to collect the router from my house, repair it and then they will send it back repaired and free of charge.
