been given top priority in the design of this product making it easy to maintain and operate.

_k WARNING: Read and understand all instruc-

tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below,

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's
manual carefully. Learn the applications and limitations
as well as specific potential hazards related to this tool.

• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by prevent-
ing body contact with grounded surfaces. For example:
pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
Never operate the tool with any guard or cover re-

moved. Make sure all guards are operating properly
before each use.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see keys and adjusting wrenches

are removed from tool before turning it on.

• KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work
areas and work benches invite accidents.

• DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do
not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable

liquids, in damp or wet locations or expose them to
rain. Keep work area well lighted.

• KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors
should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance

from work area.

• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.

• DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or at-

tachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

• USE THE 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 cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of

at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25

feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier

gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing, neckties, or jewelry that can get caught in the

tool's moving parts and cause personal injury. Nonslip
footwear is recommended when working outdoors.

Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-

resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work

when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.

DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instruc-
tions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits,
cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected from

power source.

• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL START-
ING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES, Consult the
operator's manual for recommended accessories. The

use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally

contacted.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal
injury.

• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction or rotation of the blade or

cutter only.

your hands or fingers at any time while the tool is
connected to a power source.

• DO NOT use awkward hand positions.

• USE OVERHEAD GUARD WHEN ADJUSTABLE
FENCE IS NOT IN PLACE.

• FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT THE ROUTER TABLE TO

A WORK SURFACE so that the router table surface is
approximately hip height.

• INSPECT FOR AND REMOVE ALL NAILS FROM
LUMBER BEFORE ROUTING. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

• DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. DO NOT
OPERATE TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE

OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATION.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious personal injury.

frequently and use them to instruct others who may

use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them

these instructions also.

_ WARNING" Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities

contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• 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 microscopic particles.

A

not attempt to use this product until you read

thoroughly and understand completely the
operator's manual. Save this operator's manual

and review frequently for continuing safe operation
and instructing others who may use this product.

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We

recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with

side shields. Always use eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power

tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire

grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with

protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need

to be grounded.

,_ WARNING: The double insulated system is

intended to protect the user from shock resulting

from a break in the tool's internal insulation. Observe

all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical
shock.

NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
authorized service center for repair. Always use original

factory replacement parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be

connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz,
AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop

will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If

your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,

double-check the power supply.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has

the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting

in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to deter-
mine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord.

Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Labora-
tories (UL) should be used.

When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with "WA" on the cord's jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
