GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
_, WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn the
applications, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury.
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure they
have these instructions also.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Inspect the tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired
at your nearest Sears Service Center. Be aware of the cord location.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
27683 ManuaLRevised_11-0120 Page 5
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn the
applications, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury.
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when using this router. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face mask or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
• Protect your hearing. Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during
use. Under some conditions noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
• All visitors and bystanders must wear the same safety equipment that the
operator of the router must wear.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the switch is in the OFF-
position before connecting to a power source and/or battery, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
27683 ManuaLRevised_11-0120 Page 6
Always check the tool for damaged parts before use. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine if it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced at a
Sears Service Center.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc., in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
A_, WARNING: When using power tools, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
WARNING: The operation of any tool can result in foreign objects being
propelled into your eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. When operating power
tool, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full
face shield when needed.
A_, WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not operate the tool until the missing
parts have been replaced. Doing so could result in serious personal injury.
SERVICE SAFETY
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• If any part of this router is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any
way; or should any electrical component fail to perform properly: shut off
the power switch and remove the plug from the power source and have the
missing, damaged, or failed parts replaced before resuming operation.
• Tool service should be performed only at a Sears Parts & Repair Service
Center. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
27683 ManuaLRevised_11-0120 Page 7

instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
SPECiFiC SAFETY RULES FOR ROUTER
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool" live" and
shock the operator.
• Use clamps or another practical way to support and secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Maintain a firm grip on the router with both hands to resist starting torque.
• Never attempt to use the router motor without first installing it in an
approved base. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury
and damage to the motor.
• Make sure that the motor housing does not move up or down when
clamped in the fixed base. If the motor is not securely clamped into the
base, adjustments will not be accurate.
• Do not hand-hold the router in an upside down or horizontal position.
The motor can separate from the base if it is not properly attached according
to the instructions.
• Tighten the collet/nut securely to prevent the cutter bit from slipping.
If the collets/nut is not securely tightened, the cutter bit may detach during
use, causing serious personal injury.
• Never tighten collets/nuts without a cutter bit installed in the collets/nut.
• Never hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your legs. It is
important to support and clamp the workpiece properly in order to minimize
body exposure, bit binding, and loss of control.
• Always keep the chip shield clean and in place.
• Stay alert and clear the router cutter bit path of any obstructions before
starting the motor. Keep cutting area clear of all foreign objects while the
motor is running.
• Inspect and remove all nails from lumber before routing.
• Check to see that the cord will not "hang up" during the routing operation.
• Make sure that the cutter bit is not in contact with the workpiece before
the switch is turned on. The bit must always be running at the full
selected speed before contacting the workpiece.
• Keep hands clear of the cutter bit when the motor is running to prevent
personal injury.
27683 ManuaLRevised_11-0120 Page 8
• Provide clearance under the workpiece for the router cutter bit when
through-cutting.
• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload the motor.
• Use only sharp cutter bits that are not chipped or cracked. Blunt cutter bits
will cause stalling and burn the workpiece.
• Never use this router motor with a cutter bit larger than 3-1/2 inches in
diameter.
• Always use cutter bits that are designed for this router. Never use cutter
bits which are larger in diameter than the opening in the router sub-
base. Cutter bits that have cutter diameters larger than the opening could
cause possible loss of control or create other hazardous condition that could
cause serious personal injury.
• The sub-base on this router have openings of 1-1/4 inches. To use cutter
bits with a larger diameter, install and use a sub-base with a larger diameter
opening (sold separately at Sears stores or other Craftsman outlets).
• Do not use large router cutter bits for freehand routing. Use of large
cutter bits when freehand routing could cause loss of control or create
hazardous conditions that could result in serious personal injury. If using a
router table, large bits should be used for edging only.
• Be sure that the cutter bit is centered in a template guide (sold
separately) prior to template guide applications to avoid personal injury or
damage to finished work.
• Do not remove more than 1/8 inch in a single pass. Excessive depth of
cut can result in loss of control that could result in personal injury.
• After completing a cut, turn motor OFF and let it come to complete stop
before removing router from workpiece.
• Let the motor come to a complete stop before putting the router down.
Cutter bits coast after power is turned off.
• Only use router tables with on-board switch-controlled receptacles.
Failure to use router tables with all the appropriate safety features could
result in serious personal injury.
• Disconnect the tool from the power source before making any adjustments
or changing cutter bits.
• If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be careful not to touch
the collet/nut or cutter bit with your hands or fingers. The heat buildup
from cutting could cause severe burns. Always use the wrench provided.
• Avoid "climb cutting." See "Direction of Feed" in the "OPERATION"
section in this manual. "Climb cutting" increases the chance for loss of
control resulting in possible serious injury.
27683 Manual_Revised_11-0120 Page 9
