Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,

and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some example of these chemicals are:

●

lead from lead-based paints

●

crystalline silica from bricks and 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, always wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark

areas invite accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

2. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.

A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

3. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use 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.

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on

the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

7. Use certified safety equipment. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards, hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards, and dust mask protection should comply with MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator standards.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your

body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

4. Disconnect battery pack from tool and place the switch in the locked or OFF position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

7. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

8. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained tools.

9. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a

risk of injury when used on another tool.

12. There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. Porter-Cable strongly recommends that this tool NOT be

modified and/or used for any application other than for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its application DO NOT use the tool until you have written Porter-Cable and we have advised you.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOLS 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.

2. TIGHTEN COLLET NUT SECURELY to prevent the bit from slipping.

3. PROVIDE CLEARANCE under workpiece for router bit when through-

cutting.

4. CLEAR THE ROUTER BIT AREA before starting motor.

5. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP ON TOOL to resist starting torque.

6. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF BIT WHEN MOTOR IS RUNNING to prevent

personal injury.

7. LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool down.

8. NEVER TOUCH ROUTER BITS AFTER USE. They may be extremely hot.

9. AVOID “CLIMB-CUTTING”. (See section “USING THE TOOL” in this manual). “Climb-cutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible personal injury.

10. DO NOT HAND-HOLD THE ROUTER IN AN UPSIDE-DOWN OR HORIZONTAL POSITION. The motor can separate from the base if not properly attached according to the instructions (See “ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO THE ROUTER”) section.

11. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE TOXIC.

Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from your material supplier.

SERVICE

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
