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.

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.

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.
