INTRODUCTION

Your router has many features for making routing operations more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this router making it easy to maintain and operate.

CAUTION: Carefully read through this entire owner's manual before using your new router. Pay close attention to the Rules for Safe Operation, Warnings and Cautions. If you use your router properly and only for what it is intended, you will enjoy years of safe, reliable service.

^Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means attention!!! Your safety is involved.

^WARNING:

mssssm The operation of any router can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which F(^S*FEJY ^6U^S'^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, available at Sears Retail Stores.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

SYMBOL MEANING

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL:

Indicates caution or warning. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs.

DANGER: Failure to obey a safety warning will result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.

WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning can result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.

CAUTION; Failure to obey a safety warning may result in property damage or personal injury to yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.

NOTE: Advises yeu of information or instructions vital to the operation or maintenance of the equipment.

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 internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

^ WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read thoroughly and understand completely all instructions, safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury. Save owner's manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation, and instructing others who may use this tool.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

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

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.

KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors

IMPORTANT

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 Sears Store for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

contact too! or extension cord.

STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up place " out of the reach of children.

DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended — for example — don't use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can get caught in toot's moving parts and cause personal injury. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and keep it from being drawn into nearby air vents.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses: they are not safety glasses.

PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool,

DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Secure tools when working at eievated positions.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep toois sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, tools should be disconnected from power supply.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Do not carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

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 y^ur product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for example - SJTW-A or SJOW-A.

KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp cutters minimize stalling and kickback.

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM ROUTING AREA.

Keep hands away from cutters. Do not reach underneath work while cutter is rotating. Do not attempt to remove material while cutter is rotating.

NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if damaged, have repaired at your nearest Sears Repair Center. Stay constantly aware of cord location.

INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and replace if damaged.

KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.

STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.

Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.

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 dam­ aged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.

DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center. INSPECT FOR and remove all nails from lumber before routing.

DO NOT operate this tool while under the influ­ ence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.

POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug, if it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.

WHEN USING THIS ROUTER WITH A ROUTER TABLE, HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY BY KEEPING THE CUTTER GUARDED AT ALL TIMES. Use only router tables, with guards, that have been designed for use on routers that are of this type, size, and weight.

DO NOT USE TOOL UNDER "BROWNOUT" OR OTHER LOW VOLTAGE CONDITIONS. Also, do not use with any device that could cause the power supply voltage to change,

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them 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 chemicallytreated 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.
