reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks,cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals:work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out micros-copic particles.

BEFORE USINGTHE SHAPER/ROUTER
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert
and knowing how to use your shaper/router.
To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not
plug the shaper/router in until you have read and
understood the following:
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction
manual. LEARN the tools applications, limitations, and
possible hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3.. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning ON.
4 KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
5.
DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
6°
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at
a safe distance from the work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
8. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9 USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or the
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will result in a drop in line voltage and loss of
power which will cause the tool to overheat. The table
on page 5 shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
The AC motor used in this saw is a universal, nonreversible
type. See "MOTOR" in the PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
section on page 2.
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection. Your saw is wired at the
factory for 120V operation. Connect to a 120V. 15 Amp
circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or
damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DOUBLE INSULATED
The shaper / router is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical
system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the
internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
Replacement parts - When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
Polarized piugs- This shaper/router has a plug that
[ooks like the one shown below:
a. Motor is overloaded. Overloading can occur if
you feed too rapidly or make too many start /
stops in a short time.
b. Line voltage is more than 10% above or
below the nameplate voltage. For heavy loads,
however, the voltage at motor terminals must
equal the voltage specified on the nameplate.
c. I nproper or dull cutters are used.
5.
Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload, low voltage (such as
small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long
supply circuit wire. Always check the connections, the
load and the supply circuit if the motor doesn't work
well. Check wire sizes and length with the Extension
Cord Chart below.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this shaper/router
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will ffi in a polarized receptacle only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the receptacle, reverse the plug.
If it still does net f"rt,contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper receptacle. Do not change the plug in any way.
Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
To avoid electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing
a Iool with double insulation. Servicing should be
performed by a qualified lechnician.
2. Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or
expose them to rain. This tool is intended for indoor
use only.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
IMPORTANT: To avoid motor damage, this motor
should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep
sawdust from interfering with normal motor ventilation.
1. Connect this tool to a 120V, 15 Amp branch circuit
with a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip
frequently if:
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
result in a drop in line voltage, and loss of power which
will cause the tool to overheat. The table below shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord fs properly wired and in
good condition.Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
