IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Personal safety

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.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or 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 children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions

can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

1. 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.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. 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 energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

4. 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.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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 specific hazards in the work area.

10. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

11. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.

12. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.

13. Do not depress the spindle lock when
starting or during operation.

Page 2 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Item 59436

14. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and
unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

15. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.

16. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
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.

• Properly ground power cord.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
should also be implemented – it prevents
sustained electrical shock.

17. 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.

Power tool use and care

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 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.

8. 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.

Service

1. 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.

2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

Safety instructions for routers

1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces 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 electric shock.

2. 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.

3. Let bit cool before touching, changing
or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically
while in use, and can burn you.

4. Verify that the work surface has no
hidden utility lines before cutting.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused or
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 fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.

Page 3For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.Item 59436

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.

Grounding

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND
DEATH FROM INCORRECT
GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualified 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 fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

Double Insulated Tools: Tools

with Two Prong Plugs

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not
require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies
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.)

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

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
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.)

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.)

Page 4 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Item 59436

Extension Cords

Warning Symbols and Definitions

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.)

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.)

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.)

6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the suffix “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 qualified electrician before using it.

8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

2 18,000
3 21,000
4 24,000
5 27,000
6 32,000

5. Run the tool for about 10 seconds before
routing to ensure all moving parts are running
smoothly, and there are no loose parts, rattles,
or sparking that would indicate damage.

Note: Determine optimum speed by testing on 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 wood. Feeding Router too
quickly, or trying to remove too much material in a single
pass creates a rough cut and can overload the motor.

6. Allow bit to reach full speed before
contacting workpiece.

7. Slowly engage workpiece, do not force
Router down into workpiece.

8. The bit rotates clockwise. Adjust for this while cutting:

a. For most materials it is best to move Router

from left to right as facing the workpiece.

✔

✘

b. When cutting outside edges, move Router

counterclockwise. When cutting inside
edges, move Router clockwise.

c. On vertical surfaces, start and end cut

at the top to prevent waste material
from falling onto the rotating bit.

9. When using the Fence: Cut parallel to edge
of workpiece with Fence following edge.

10. When using a Temporary Guide: Cut with
Fence following edge of temporary guide.

11. When making a Circle Cut: With nail
in place through center hole of Fence ,
plunge the bit into workpiece and rotate
Router in a circle around the nail.

12. When using a Template Guide: Cut with
Guide following edge of template.

Note: Use two or more passes for deep cuts, especially
in the case of hardwood. When cutting grooves

depth of cut should be limited to 1/8″ per pass.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
The tool will restart automatically if stalled.

13. After completing cut, raise Router so the
bit is clear of workpiece, and Power Switch
is off. Do not set the Router down until
the bit has come to a complete stop.

14. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
