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
ammable 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.
In this manual, on the labeling, and all other
information provided with this product:
This is the safety alert symbol. It is
used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to
avoid possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol,
indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
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 grounded
power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is 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 Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI 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
inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as 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 nger on the switch or energizing 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
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
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
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Only use safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards
agency. Unapproved safety equipment
may not provide adequate protection.
Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and
breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved
for the specic hazards in the work area.
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 the battery pack 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. 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.
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.
5. Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Router Safety Warnings
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where 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.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Use only accessories rated at least equal
to maximum speed marked on Router.
4. Only use router bits with a shank diameter
equal to the size of the tool’s collet. The collet
size is adjustable for 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2".
5. Make sure the collet nut is securely tightened before
use to prevent the router bit from slipping during use.
6. Do not use with base removed.
7. Hold router with both hands.
8. Keep hands away from the cutting area. Do
not place hands beneath the workpiece for
any reason. Keep the base of the router in rm
contact with the workpiece while cutting.
9. Keep Handles dry, clean, and free of oil or grease.
This will permit better control of the tool.
10. Do not use damaged bits.
Page 3For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.SKU 68341
11. Do not lay the Router down until it has
stopped rotating completely.
12. Hold the Router rmly when starting, as
startup rotation creates signicant torque.
13. Hold the Router rmly while cutting. The action of the
bit against the workpiece can cause it to “kick out”,
jumping rapidly away from the workpiece. This can
be caused by an improper type of bit, or a dull bit.
14. Do not handle the Router bit immediately
after cutting. It may be very hot,
potentially causing burns or injury.
15. Avoid overloading the tool. If the speed
drops abnormally, decrease the pressure on
the bit immediately. Do not apply excessive
pressure to the router while cutting.
16. Always use sharpened bits. If the bit stops
abruptly, or the bit becomes blocked, remove
the Router from the workpiece and shut it off.
17. Do not start the Router while the bit is in
contact with the workpiece. Allow the tool
to reach its normal operating speed before
applying the bit to the workpiece.
18. Use caution when setting the Locking Trigger
Switch. Be aware that the router will continue to
operate while the locking mechanism is engaged.
Do not lay the router down or hand it to another
person while the locking mechanism is engaged.
19. Before Routing, run the tool for about 10 seconds
to ensure that all moving parts are running
smoothly and there are no loose parts, rattles,
or sparking that would indicate damage.
20. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information. If
unreadable or missing, contact Harbor
Freight Tools for a replacement.
21. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to
begin work before turning on the tool.
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In
addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) should also be implemented –
it prevents sustained electrical shock.
27. WARNING: 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 examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or
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, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
28. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will
expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
29. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who
have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past
hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes,
or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue ngers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and ngers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk
of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
Grounding
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through
the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must
be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically
“live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should
look like those in the preceding illustration.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND
DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING
WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualied electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug
provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding
prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power
cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it
repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug
will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualied electrician.
Grounded Tools:
Tools with Three Prong Plugs
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not
require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satises
OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code.
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the
120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Extension Cords
1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double Insulated tools can use either
a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension
cord. Using extension cords with inadequately
sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. (See Table A on page 6.)
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.
If the tool should electrically malfunction or break
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current
than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)
Page 5For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.SKU 68341
4. When using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, make sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)
5. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one tool, add the nameplate amperes
and use the sum to determine the required
minimum cord size. (See Table A.)
Symbology

6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the sufx “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualied electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Work Piece and Work
Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
Note: Make practice cuts at different speeds in scrap
material until you are able to produce a smooth
cut with no burnishing or burn marks. Burn marks
are caused by moving too slowly through the
wood. Feeding the Router too quickly, or trying to
remove too much material in a single pass creates
a rough cut and can overload the motor.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. Make sure there are no metal objects in the wood
which might make contact with the router bit.
General Operating Instructions
Note: Use two or more passes for deep cuts, especially
in the case of hardwood. Do not attempt to cut deeper
than 5/8” in a single pass. Adjust the cutting depth so
that the rst pass will be less than 5/8” deep, then follow
the procedures for Adjusting the Cutting Depth for each
progressive pass, until the nal depth is achieved.
Note: Feed the Router bit into the workpiece
against the bit’s direction of rotation.
