IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 and 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, always wear NIOSH/OSHA approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this information.

SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 flammable 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.

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 earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock.

b) 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.

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.

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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use safety 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) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position

before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

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.

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 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 tools 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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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 a) 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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

continued

1. HOLD POWER TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE 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 OTHER PRACTICAL WAY TO SECURE AND SUPPORT THEWORKPIECE TO A STABLE PLATFORM. Holding the work by hand or

against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

3. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE before making adjustments or changing bits.

4. TIGHTEN COLLET NUT securely to prevent the bit from slipping.

5. USE A CLAMP or some other device to hold the workpiece rigidly in position.

and clear the path of the tool of obstructions.

6. PROVIDE CLEARANCE under workpiece for router bit when throughcutting.

7. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CORD will not “hang up” during routing operation.

8. CLEAR THE ROUTER BIT AREA before starting motor.

9. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP on router to resist starting torque.

10. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF BIT when motor is running to prevent personal

injury.

11. KEEP CUTTING PRESSURE CONSTANT. Do not overload motor.

12. LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

MOTOR

Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60 cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltage and current rating.

Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.

USING THE ROUTER

IMPORTANT: Before using your router, consider the kind and total amount of

material to be removed. Depending on the workpiece, more than one cut may be necessary to avoid overloading the motor. Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber to show exactly how the cut will look, as well as enable you to check dimensions.

Always be sure that the work is rigidly clamped or otherwise secured before making a cut.

Generally speaking, when working on a bench, the workpiece should be held on the bench by wood clamps. When routing edges, the router should be held firmly down and against the work by both guiding knobs.

Since the cutter rotates clockwise (when viewing router from top), the router should be moved from left to right as you stand facing the work (see Fig. 5). When working on the inside of a templet, move router in clockwise direction. When working on the outside of a templet, move router in a counterclockwise direction.

Avoid “Climb-Cutting” (cutting in direction opposite that shown in Fig. 5). “Climb-Cutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible personal injury. When “Climb-Cutting” is required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain control of router.

The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on the type of workpiece. Keep the cutting

pressure constant, but do not crowd the router so the motor speed slows excessively. More than one pass may be necessary on exceptionally hard woods or problem materials to get the desired depth of cut.

When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, make the first cut on the end of the piece across the grain. Thus, if chipping of wood occurs at the end of a cut, it will be removed when making the next cut parallel with the grain

THE EDGE GUIDE

An optional Edge Guide is available to aid straight edge planing, parallel grooving, and dado or slotting operations.

To assemble, insert guide rods (A) in holes in base Fig. 6 and secure with screws (B). Adjust the guide (C) on the rods and secure it with thumb screws (D).

Fig. 5

TEMPLET GUIDES

A wide variety of templet guides is available for use in pattern and templet routing operations. Fig. 7 shows a typical combination bit, templet guide, and locknut.

DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

To install, insert templet guide in center hole of router base and secure in place with the locknut.

BEFORE CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE, install the bit, adjust the depth of cut, and rotate the router chuck by hand. Make sure that the bit or collet do not contact templet guide.
