WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and 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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove
the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
2. 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.
2
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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
3
3. Don’t 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 to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while 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. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have
the switch ON invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool ON. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
7. Use certified safety equipment. Eye protection equipment should
comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards, hearing equipment should comply with
ANSI S3.19 standards, and dust mask protection should comply with
MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator standards.
TOOLS USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF. A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
4
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of electric shock or injury.
1. HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES
WHEN PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING
TOOLS 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.

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.
SELECTING THE BIT
These Porter-Cable routers are furnished with 1/4" and 1/2" diameter collets
to accommodate bits with 1/4" or 1/2" diameter shanks installed directly into
the power unit collet. An accessory collet is available that will allow the use
of bits having 3/8" diameter shanks.
Do not use router bits with a diameter in excess of 2-1/8"
in this tool.
ALWAYS disconnect this tool from the power source
when preparing the tool for use, when making adjustments,
and when the tool is not in use.
6
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.
FOREWORD
Porter-Cable routers are designed for continuous, rugged operation to
handle the most demanding production applications.
If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to
prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible
motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found
in this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10
volts for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix
W-A or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
