SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric
shock. The tool is equipped with an approved three-conductor cord and threeprong 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
Volts, the power cord is equipped with
a plug that has two flat, parallel
current-carrying prongs and one
longer, round or U -shaped, ground
prong which requires a mating 3conductor grounded type receptacle,
as shown in Fig. 1.
An adapter, shown in Fig. 2, is
available for connecting 3-prong
grounding type plugs that are used on
units less than 150 Volts to 2-prong
receptacles. THIS ADAPTER IS NOT
ALLOWED IN CANADA. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, etc., must be
connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet
box, as shown in Fig. 2.
If your unit is for use on 150 to 250
Volts, the power cord is equipped with
a plug that has two flat current
carrying prongs in tandem, and one
round or U -shaped, longer ground
prong, as shown in Fig. 3. This plug is
used only with the proper mating 3conductor grounding type receptacle,
as shown in Fig. 3. No adapter is
available for this type plug.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
NEVER REMOVE GROUNDING PRONG FROM POWER PLUG.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire extension cords which have three-prong grounding-type
plugs and three-pole receptacle which accept the tool s plug. Replace
damaged or worn cord immediately. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR
POWER CORD.

1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don t expose power tools to
rain. Don t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep area well lit. Avoid
chemical or corrosive environment. 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 do
not use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
8. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Loose
clothing, draw strings and jewelry 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. Wear safety glasses or goggles while
operating power tools. Also face or dust mask if operation creates dust. All
persons in the area where power tools are being operated should also wear
safety glasses and face or dust mask.
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. Have damaged
or worn power cord and strain reliever replaced immediately. DO NOT

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR ROUTER/SHAPER
1. DO NOT USE awkward hand positions.
2. KEEP FINGERS AWAY from revolving cutter use fixtures when
necessary.
3. USE CUTTER GUARDS for all applications.
4. KEEP CUTTER GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
5. KEEP CUTTERS SHARP.
5
6. NEVER RUN STOCK between fence and cutter.
7. WHEN SHAPING with piloted bit, the pilot must have sufficient bearing
surface (
1
…
8" minimum) as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 illustrates the INCORRECT
method for this operation as the pilot DOES NOT have sufficient bearing surface.
8. WHEN SHAPING, the work must be fairly heavy in proportion to the cut
being made as shown in Fig. 3. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE should short
work of light body be shaped as shown in Fig. 4.
9. THE FENCE should be adjusted endwise so the opening is never more
than is required to clear the cutter.
10. CLAMP OR BOLT shaper table securely to workbench to prevent
walking .
11. DO NOT USE router bits larger in diameter than those recommended for
your router (see SELECTING THE BIT).
12. WHEN SHAPING NARROW MATERIAL, use a push stick and make
sure the material is properly supported.
13. WHEN END SHAPING, make sure the material is properly supported by
using a miter gauge or back-up block.
14. 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.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
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.

CAUTION: 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.
EXTENSION CORD SELECTION
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 following the cord type designation. For example SJTW-A to indicate it
is acceptable for outdoor use.
RECOMMENDED EXTENSION CORD SIZES FOR USE WITH PORTABLE ELECTRIC TOOLS

1. Locate the two table legs (see Fig. 5) and stand them up parallel to each
other and approximately 12" apart. The leg with the switch mounted in it
should be to your right, with the switch facing you. Both legs should slant
toward the outside.
2. Open hardware package.
3. Place the table on top of the legs, with the miter gauge slot up and the
large hole to the rear. Secure the table to the legs with four
