master switches, or by removing starter keys.
DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or attach-
ment to do a job for which it was not designed.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord 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. A wire gauge size
(A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension
cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,
neckties, or jewelry that can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical, it is safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate the tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp
and clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing,
or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc.,
all tools should be disconnected from power source.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off
when plugging in any tool.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the
operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may result in injury.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the product’s plug.
When using a power product at a considerable distance from
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to
carry the current that the product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
products or other obstructions while you are working with
a power product. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this product depends on the router
you are using. This speed is not constant and decreases
under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring
in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating.
A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power
product motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can
support one power product may not be able to support two
or three products.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with an
electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin
like the one shown.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use product with a damaged
cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product is powered by a precision built electric motor.
It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC
only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate
this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage
drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.

OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with products to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The
use of attachments or accessories not recommended
can result in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
Table mounted dado and mortise operations in wood and
wood composition materials
Fence guided edging operations for cabinetry and
picture framing on wood and wood composition
materials
Piloted cutter operations using the starting pin for
edging patterned surfaces on wood and wood
composition materials
WARNING:
The router or router table should never be connected to
a power supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, installing or removing cutters, cleaning, or
when not in use. Disconnecting the router and router table
will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
The direction of feed for the workpiece is always against
the sharp edges of the cutter and therefore into the rotation of the cutter. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
When operating the router with the router table, the
router must only be plugged into and controlled by the
router table switched outlet. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never connect the table mounted router
into another power source.

OPERATION
PERFORMING A ROUTING OPERATION
See Figures 21 - 23.
Observe the following rules when using the router:
Read the entire operator’s manual for the router and router
table.
Plug the router table power cord into a power source.
Always control the power to the router with the router
table switch whenever the router is mounted on the table.
Always plug the router into either of the router table
switched outlets. Never plug a router table mounted
router into another power source.
Position the infeed and outfeed fence so they are close
to the maximum diameter of the cutter, but not touching
the cutter.
NOTE: The workpiece must always be tight against the
fence, unless you are using a ball-bearing piloted cutter.
Adjust the infeed fence to support the uncut workpiece
and adjust the outfeed fence to support the workpiece
after the cut. The “0” location on the fence scale denotes
the center of the throat opening of the table.
Reconfirm that all router adjustments are securely locked
before connecting the router table to a power source.
The cutter rotates counterclockwise (as viewed above
the table) on the router table. Always feed the workpiece
against the sharp edges of the cutter.
Make sure the router table switch is off when not in use.
Remove the switch key to ensure the router table is off.
