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 example 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 MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a 3conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.

If your unit is for use on less than 150 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in Figure (A).

If it is for use on 150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in Figure (C).

An adapter, see Figure (B) is available for connecting Figure (B) type plugs to 2prong receptacles. The green- colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is available for a plug as shown in Figure (C).

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

Read All Instructions.

1. Keep Work Area Clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

2. Consider Work Area Environment. Don’t expose power tools to rain.

Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

3. Guard Against Electric Shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

4. Keep Children Away. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

5. Store Idle Tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place – out of reach of children.

6. Don’t Force Tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

7. Use Right Tool. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended – for example – don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

8. Dress Properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

9. Use Safety Glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

10. Don’t Abuse Cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

11. Secure Work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

12. Don’t Overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

13. Maintain Tools With Care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and

safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

14. Disconnect Tools. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

15. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

16. Avoid Unintentional Starting. Don’t carry tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

17. Extension Cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The EXTENSION CORD SELECTION table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

18. Outdoor Use Extension Cords. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

19. Stay Alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not

1. HOLD 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. TIGHTEN COLLET NUT SECURELY to prevent the bit from slipping.

3. PROVIDE CLEARANCE under workpiece for router bit when through-

cutting.

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

5. CLEAR THE ROUTER BIT AREA before starting motor.

6. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP ON TOOL to resist starting torque.

7. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF BIT WHEN MOTOR IS RUNNING to prevent

personal injury.

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

tool down.

9. NEVER TOUCH ROUTER BITS AFTER USE. They may be extremely

hot.

10. AVOID “CLIMB-CUTTING”. (See section “USING THE TOOL” in this

manual). “Climb-cutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible personal injury.

11. DO NOT HAND-HOLD THE ROUTER IN AN UPSIDE-DOWN OR

HORIZONTAL POSITION. The motor can separate from the base if not properly attached according to the instructions (See “ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO THE ROUTER”) section.

12. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH 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.

operate tool when you are tired.

20. Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
