GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to

follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

Save

all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warn-

ings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

• 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.

• Keep children and bystanders away while

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

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

• 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

• 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.

• 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.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-

rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• 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.

• 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 energising power tools

that have the switch on invites accidents.

• 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.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

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

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-

lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• 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.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

• 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.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied

repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfac-

es, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

• Use clamps or another practical way to se-

cure 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.

• Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in a well ventilated area. Using per-

sonal safety devices and in a safe environment reduce the risk for injury.

• Some woods contain preservatives that can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and

skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from your material supplier.

• Always make sure the workpiece is free from nails, screws and other foreign objects. Keep

the working edge away from the clamping surface. Cutting these objects can cause loss

of control of the tool and damage to the bit.

• Never hold the workpiece in one hand and

the tool in the other hand when using the

tool. Never place hands near or below cutting

surface. Clamping the material and guiding the tool with both hands is safer.

• Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits

must be handled with care. Damaged bits can break during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, which could cause the bit to break. Damaged bits can throw carbide pieces and burn the workpiece.

• After changing the bit or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpect-

edly shift, causing loss of control. Loose rotating components will be violently thrown. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate an improperly installed bit.

• Maintain rm grip on router when starting

motor to resist starting torque.

• Always keep the power supply cord away from moving parts on the tool. Keep the cord away

from the direction of the cut.

• Never start the tool when the bit is in contact

with the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the tool.

• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come

to a complete stop. The spinning bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.

• Never touch the bit during or immediately after

use. After use the bit may be hot enough to burn bare skin.

• Never clamp the workpiece to a hard surface,

such as concrete or stone. Contact with the bit could cause the tool to jump and loss of control.

• Only operate the routers when held. Do not clamp or secure the router to a surface and hold the workpiece by hand.

• Never use bits larger than the smallest of the

openings in the base, sub-base, or dust collection port.

• Do not loosen or remove the

plunge base caps. Internal

Plunge Base Caps

springs are under pressure. If loosened or removed, the plunge base caps and internal springs will become projectiles, which could cause injury.

• Maintain labels and name-

plates. These carry important

information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and

other masonry products, and

• 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 specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GROUNDING

WARNING Improperly connecting the

grounding wire can result in the risk of elec-

tric shock. Check with a qualied electrician

if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug

provided with the tool. Never remove the

grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the cord or plug is damaged. If

damaged, have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet (See Figure A). 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. 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. Your 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 Figure A.

Double Insulated Tools:

Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insula-

tion system which satises OSHA requirements

and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association and the National Electrical Code. Double Insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in Figures B and C.

Fig. A

Fig. B

Fig. C

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. 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. Refer to the table shown to determine the required minimum wire size. 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. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. 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 wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the sufx “W-A” (“W” in

Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired

and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a

qualied person before using it.

• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,

excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

NOTE: D-handle base does not t Cat.No.5625-20. Electronic Overload Protection

(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)

These tools are equipped with an electronic overload protection feature. If the motor shuts off during use, remove the bit from the workpiece and push the On/Off switch to the "O" position for three (3) seconds. This will reset the electronics in the tool. The tool can then be restarted.

Using the Variable Speed Dial (For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)

The variable speed dial allows the user to adjust the rotating speed (RPM) of the tool. Variable speed dial settings range from numbers (7) seven through (1) one. Higher numbers correspond to higher speeds and lower number correspond to lower speeds. To change the speed, set the variable speed control dial to the desired number.Soft Start

(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)

The Soft-Start feature reduces the amount of torque reaction to the tool and the user. This feature gradually increases the motor speed up from zero to the speed set by the variable speed dial.

Feedback Control (For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)

The electronic speed control system allows the tool to maintain constant speed between no-load and load conditions.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

always wear eye protection.

To reduce the risk of explosion, electric

shock and property damage, always check the work area for hidden pipes and wires before routing.

Making the Cut

Before cutting, check that all adjustments are tight and the locking lever is fully closed and secure. The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on the type of material being worked. Keep the cutting pressure constant but do not use excessive force on the router so the motor speed slows excessively. It may be necessary on exceptionally hard woods or problem materials to make more than one pass to get the desired depth of cut. Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, make a sample cut on a scrap piece of lumber. This will show you exactly how the cut will look as well as enable you to check dimensions. Always be sure the workpiece is secure before routing. When

routing edges, the router should be held rmly down

and against the work using handles.

Since the cutter rotates clockwise, more efcient

cutting will be obtained if the router is moved from left to right as you stand facing the work. The arrows on the base of the tool indicate the direction of bit rotation. When working on the outside of an

edge, move router in a counterclockwise direction.

Fig. 18

Work

WARNING To reduce the risk of in-

jury, avoid "climb cutting." Climb cutting increases the potential for loss of control of the tool and damage to the workpiece. If

climb cutting can not be avoided, use extreme

caution.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

do not use a plunge base router if the motor does not rise automatically when the plunge

release lever is pressed.

Plunge Cutting

1. Set the depth of cut.

2. Securely clamp the workpiece.

3. Press the plunge release lever and raise the bit

so it does not contact the workpiece.

4. Hold the handles securely and turn on the mo-

tor. Wait for the motor to reach full speed (or the speed indicated by the variable speed dial).

5. Press the plunge release lever and slowly lower

the bit into the workpiece until the depth stop rod contacts the turret. Release the plunge release lever.

6. Begin moving the router, keeping the sub-base

at on the workpiece. Keep the cord and dust

collection hose out of the path of the router.

7. When nished, press the plunge release lever

and raise the bit out of the workpiece. Turn the motor off and wait for the bit to stop turning.

MAINTENANCE

ACCESSORIES

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

always unplug your tool before performing

any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool

or try to do any rewiring on the tool’s electrical system. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

Maintaining Tools

Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before use, examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired (see “Repairs”). Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary until the motor brushes need to be replaced. After six months to one year, depending on use, return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service facility for the following:

• Lubrication

• Brush inspection and replacement

• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spin-

dles, bearings, housing, etc.)

• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)

• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical

operation
