SECTION 1: SAFETY

Safety Instructions for Power Tools
OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and under-
stand this owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this power tool. When tool is not being used, disconnect power, and store in out-of-reach location to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use tools in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating tools in these areas greatly increases risk of acci­dents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe oper­ation of power tools. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect tool from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, chang­ing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical com­ponents.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI­approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.
For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual
Before Operating This Equipment
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazard­ous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
Indicates an imminent hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTICE
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful infor­mation about proper operation of the equipment.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY. Tool plug must
in good work-
If at
match outlet. Double-insulated tools have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), which must be plugged into a polarized outlet. Never modify plug. Do not use adapter for grounded tools. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter if opera­tion is unavoidable in damp locations. Avoid touching grounded surfaces when operating tool.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control. Wear hard hat as needed.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using tools may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator, and con­nect tool to an appropriate dust collection device to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc. in or on tool—especially near moving parts. Verify removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE. Only use tool for its intended purpose. Never modify or alter tool for a purpose not intended by the manufacturer or serious injury or death may result!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating tool. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make tool control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.
SAFE HANDLING. Firmly grip tool. To avoid accidental firing, do not keep finger on switch or trigger while carrying.
FORCING TOOLS. Use right tool for job, and do not force it. It will do job safer and better at rate for which it was designed.
SECURING WORKPIECE. When required, use clamps or vises to secure workpiece. This protects hands and frees both of them to operate tool.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and cov­ers reduce accidental contact with mov­ing parts or flying debris. Ensure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep chil­dren and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using tool if they become a distraction.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this manual or manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase risk of serious injury.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Keep cutting tool edges sharp and clean. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep tool ing condition. A tool that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death. Only have tool serviced by qualified service­personnel using matching replacement parts.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect tool for any condition that may affect safe operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts before operating tool.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When dis­connecting cord-connected tools from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Carrying or pulling the cord may damage wires inside. Do not handle cord/ plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, sharp edges, moving parts, and wet/damp loca­tions. Damaged cords increase risk of electrocution.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave tool running while unattended. Turn tool OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES.
any time you experience difficulties per­forming the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Feed

Direction

Once the bit has been selected and installed properly, and the depth has been set, determine the proper feed direction of the router across the workpiece:
To determine feed direction:
1. Examine top face of workpiece and
determine direction of grain. Feed rout­er so bit is cutting with grain (cutting along growth rings as shown in Figure
11). Cutting against grain chips wood rather than cutting it, making a rougher surface with more “chip out.”
Model T27139 (Mfd. Since 3/16) -12-
Page 16
Bit
Rotation
Router will "kick" when started. If it comes in contact with workpiece it could jump out of your hands and cause injury.
Feed
Direction
Figure 11. Correct feed direction and
grain orientation (bottom view).
2. Pass router across workpiece with bit rotating opposite the feed direction, as shown in Figure 11. If cutters are moving in same direction you are feed­ing the router, you are performing a “climb cut.” This is a very dangerous operation because router could lunge forward out of your hands, causing seri­ous personal injury.

Routing Operations

Once the router bit is installed, the depth is set, and the feed direction is determined, it is time to start routing.
To perform routing operations:
4. Smoothly move router in correct feed direction along workpiece (see Figure
11).
DO NOT start routing at a corner. Starting at a corner may cause rout­er to grab, damaging workpiece cor­ner, and possibly causing injury.
Note: Feed router along workpiece at
a consistent rate of speed. Be aware of sound of router motor and sound of bit cutting. If motor begins to bog down, or sound pitch of router bit lowers, reduce feed rate.
5. When finished routing, turn router
OFF, and allow it to come to a com­plete stop before setting it down.
1. Secure workpiece to a stable surface.
2. Place router flat on surface of
workpiece, making sure that bit is not touching workpiece.
3. Firmly grasp router (fixed base) or handles (plunge base) and turn router switch ON (I).
— If using plunge base, slowly push
down on router handles to initiate cut.

Curved Trim Guide Straight Guide

The curved trim guide is used for trimming curved surfaces, such as adding a deco­rative edge to a round table or trimming curved corners on a laminate counter top.
This guide is only used with the fixed base, and with router bits that do not have guide bearings.
To use curved trim guide:
1. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER!
2. Slide trim guide onto base plate as
shown in Figure 12, set guide height, and tighten height adjustment lock knob.

Page 18
Using Straight Guide for Interior Cuts
1. Follow instructions for Straight Guide
setup on Page 14, but adjust to allow bit to cut an interior slot.
Note: When cutting interior slots,
router will tend to follow wood grain. Keep constant pressure, pull­ing straight guide into workpiece.
2. Make sure there is enough excess material at end of cut to support straight guide. If guide slips off end of workpiece, it will wander off of desired line. You may wish to add a longer piece of wood to workpiece for straight guide to follow.
3. Follow the instructions in Routing Operations on Page 13 to make the desired cut, as shown in Figure 14.
Using Straight Guide for Cutting Circles
1. Set up straight guide with guide plate facing up (see Figure 15).
Figure 15. Example of guide setup for
cutting circles.
2. Use a compass to mark desired circle on workpiece.
3. Place hole in straight guide over mark, drive a small nail into workpiece at center of circle, then loosen lock bolt and adjust guide until outer bit aligns with marked circle.
4. Adjust router bit to desired depth.
5. Lift router above surface, turn it
ON, and then carefully lower it into workpiece.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

!

Replacing Brushes

Motor brushes will become loaded with carbon deposits or wear out over time. Extend the life of the motor brushes by removing them periodically and cleaning off the carbon deposits.
Always DISCONNECT POWER before servicing, adjusting, or doing maintenance to reduce the risk of accidental injury or electrocution.

Cleaning & Protecting

Cleaning the Model T2713 9 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Inspect the router for loose parts, damaged cord or switch, and inspect the bits for chips or cracks. Replace the bit if it is worn or damaged. Continuous use of a worn or damaged bit will not only decrease work­ing efficiency, but also overload the motor, so the bit must be frequently checked.
With the exception of the motor brushes, the electrical components of this router are not user serviceable.
If the motor will not run, makes squealing or grinding noises, or performance is dra­matically decreased, check to see if the motor brushes need to be replaced. When replacing the motor brushes, replace both at the same time.
To replace motor brushes:
1. Remove motor brush caps on sides of motor housing, as shown in Figure 21.
Figure 21. Example of replacing motor
brushes (1 of 2).
2. Replace motor brushes and re-install caps.
Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for any repair work that requires op e nin g the mo tor ho usi n g and for re p lac e ­ment parts.

SECTION 8: WIRING

These pages are current at the time of printing. However, in the spirit of improvement, we may make changes to the electrical systems of future tools. Compare the manufacture date of your tool to the one stated in this manual, and study this section carefully.
If there are differences between your tool and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your tool. An updated wiring diagram may be available. Note: Please gather the serial
number and manufacture date of your tool before calling. This information can be found on the main tool label.

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring
that is connected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electro­cution, or death. Disconnect the power from the tool before servicing electrical components!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, includ­ing serious injur y or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loos­ening during tool operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected dur­ing any wiring task to ensure tight con­nections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your tool to a power source.
The photos and diagrams included in this section are best viewed in color. You can view these pages in color at www.grizzly.com.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or tool damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while per­forming a wiring task, replace those wires or components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your tool. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inver ters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capaci­tors.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understand­ing the information included in this sec­tion, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
