GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this



power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTUREREFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains‑operated (corded) power tool or battery‑operated (cordless) powertool.

1) Work Area Safety

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas inviteaccidents.

b ) 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.

c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.

2) Electrical Safety

a ) 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.

b ) 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.

c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock.

d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

electricshock.

e ) 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.

f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electricshock.

3) Personal Safety

a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personalinjury.

Page 9

b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,

non‑skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personalinjuries.

c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the off‑position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the

switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invitesaccidents.

d ) 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.

e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations.

f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be

caught in movingparts.

g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust‑relatedhazards.

h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of

tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of asecond.

4) Power Tool Use and Care

a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool

will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.

b ) 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.

c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.

d ) 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.

e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained powertools.

f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.

ENGLISH

g ) Use the power tool, accessories and 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.

h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and

free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.

5) Service

a ) 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.

Safety Instructions for Routers

a ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur faces

only, because the cutter may contact its own cord.

Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electricalshock.

b ) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol.

c ) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

This will enable better control of thetool.

d ) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the tool to

resist starting torque. Maintain a firm grip on the tool at all times whileoperating.

e ) Keep hands away from cutting area above and

below the base. Never reach under the workpiece for any reason. Keep the router base firmly in contact with

the workpiece whencutting.

f ) Never touch the bit immediately after use. It may be

extremelyhot.

g ) Be sure that the motor has stopped completely

before you lay the router down. If the bit is still

spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause injury ordamage.

h ) Be sure that the router bit is clear of the workpiece

before starting the motor. If the bit is in contact with the workpiece when the motor starts, it could make the router jump, causing damage orinjury.

i ) The permitted speed of the cutting bit must be at

least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. If cutting bits run faster than their rated

speed, they may break and flyoff.

j ) Always follow the bit manufacturer’s speed

recommendations as some bit designs require specific speeds for safety or performance. If you are

unsure of the proper speed or are experiencing any type of problem, contact the bitmanufacturer.

k ) Do not use router bits with a diameter in excess of

50mm(2") in thistool.

head into theworkpiece. CAUTION:

• Excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than 15mm (19/32") at a pass when cutting grooves with a 8mm (5/16") diameterbit.

• When cutting grooves with a 20mm (25/32") diamter bit, the depth of cut should not be more than5mm(3/16") at apass.

• For extra deep grooving, make two or three passes with progressively deeper bitsettings.

CAUTION:

• After long periods of working at low speeds, allow the machine to cool down by running it for three minutes at maximum speed, with noload.

All common routing tasks can be performed with the plunge cut router on all types of wood and plastic:

‑ Grooving ‑ Rabbeting ‑ Recessing ‑ Veining ‑ Profiling

To prevent overload of the tool by using the wrong speed selection, follow the reccommended settings below:

CUTTER DIAMETER

10 ‑ 30 mm 30 ‑ 50 mm

MATERIAL

Hardwood 7 ‑ 5 6 ‑ 2 Softwood 7 ‑ 6 7 ‑ 5 Chipboard Faced 7 ‑ 6 7 ‑ 4 Plastic 7 ‑ 5 7 ‑ 4

NOTE: Only carbide‑tipped cutters should be used on panels faced with plastic laminates. The hard laminates will quickly dull steelcutters.

NOTE: For better plunge sliding movement, frequently clean the columns of dust ordebris. If the plunging movement is not moving as smooth as desired, lubricate the columns with a dry teflonlubricant.

1. After setting the cutting depth as described, locate the router such that the bit is directly over the place you will becutting.

2. With the router running, lower the unit smoothly down into the workpiece. DO NOT JAM THE ROUTERDOWN.

3. When the tool reaches the pre‑set depth, push the quick release button

4. When you have finished routing, push the plunge lock lever out of theworkpiece.

5. Always feed the router opposite to the direction in which the cutter isrotating. Refer to Fig.L.

Variable Speed Dial (Fig.A)

WARNING: If the speed control ceases to operate, or is intermittent, stop using the tool immediately. Take it to a



DeWALT factory or authorized service facility forrepair. NOTICE: The router is equipped with electronics to

monitor and maintain the speed of the tool while cutting. In low and medium speed operation, the speed control prevents the motor speed from decreasing. If you expect to hear a speed change and continue to load the motor, you could damage the motor by overheating. Reduce the depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to prevent tooldamage.

Refer to the Speed Selection Chart to choose a router speed. Turn the speed dial variable from 9000to 22000rpm using the speed dial

1. Turn the speed dial to the required position. The dial is numbered from 1–7and corresponds to router speeds of 9000rpm to 22000rpm.

2. Use the slower settings for large diameter cutters and the faster settings for small diameter cutters.

3. The correct setting will also depend on the density of the material, depth of cut and feed speed of therouter. NOTE: A noticeable loss of motor rpm means motoroverload.

DIAL SETTING APPROXIMATE RPM

The speeds in this chart are approximate and are for reference only. Your router may not produce the exact speed listed for the dialsetting.

Setting Plunge Lock System (Fig.B)

The plunge is fully automatically locking for all cuts. For heavy cut operations, ensure to push the lever towards the toolbody. The plunge lock lever lever does not touch the motor body, if the plunge lock lever begins to hit the body when the quick release lever is pushed, readjust the locking lever position as follows:

1. Push in quick release button unlockautomatically.

2. Using a Torx 20star bit on the plunge lock lever

Do not fullyremove.

3. Lift the plunge lock lever, rotate and reposition the plunge lock lever at position2(at eleven o'clock).

4. Tighten the shoulderscrew.

5. If after setting to position 2sliding is not correct, repeat steps 1to 3and reposition the lock lever at position 1. Tighten the shoulderscrew.

Moulding Natural Timbers

WARNING: When routing always lock the plunge lockinglever.



When edge moulding natural timbers, always mould the end grain first, followed by the long grain.This ensures that if there is breakout, it will be removed when the long grain isrouted.

Fine Height Adjuster (Fig. D)

This router has a built in fine height adjuster. This should be used when fine height adjustment of the cutter is required. This is especially recommended when using dovetail jigs or routertables.

Direction Of Feed (Fig.L)

WARNING: opposite than shown in Fig.L). Climb‑cutting increases the



chance for loss of control resulting in possible injury. When climb‑cutting is required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain control of router. Make smaller cuts and remove minimal material with eachpass.

The direction of feed is very important when routing and can make the difference between a successful job and a ruined project. Fig. L show proper direction of feed for mostcuts.

1. When routing along an edge, the direction of the router travel should be against that of the rotation of the cutter. This will create the correct cutting action and prevent the cutter from snatching. It will also pull the router towards the workpiece and the side fence or guide bearing will be less likely to wander from the edge of theworkpiece.

Feed Speed

The speed at which the cutter is fed into the wood must not be too fast that the motor slows down, or too slow that the cutter leaves burn marks on the face of thewood. NOTE: Practice judging the speed by listening to the sound of the motor whenrouting.

Sequence of Plunging

WARNING: When routing always lock the plunge lockinglever.



1. Plunge down and lock the motor carriage, by pushing quick release button

2. Perform the desired routingoperation.

3. Push down the plunge lock lever returns to the normalposition.

5. Tighten the wing bolt NOTE: One revolution of the side fence fine adjustment knob

6. Lower the cutter onto the workpiece and set the cutter height by to the requireddistance. Refer to Setting the

RouterDepth.

7. Switch the router on and after the cutter reaches full speed, gently lower the cutter into the workpiece and lock theplunge.

8. Feed along the workpiece, keeping sideways pressure to ensure the side fence does not wander away from the workpiece edge and downward pressure on the inside hand to prevent the router fromtipping.

9. When finished, raise the router, secure with the plunge locking lever NOTE: When starting the cut, keep the pressure on the front cheek until the back cheek contacts the workpieceedge. NOTE: At the end of the cut, keep pressure on the back cheek until the cut is finished. This will prevent the router cutter swinging in at the end of the workpiece and nipping thecorner.
