SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 33 26 37 GENERAL SAFETY RULES SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. WORK AREA Keep your work area clean and well lit. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. [. . . ] It is designed for comfort and ease of grasp when operating in different positions and at different angles. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Your router has a precision built electric motor. It should only be connected to a power supply of the type specified on the rating plate of the machine, AC only. A voltage drop of more than 10 percent will cause a loss of power and overheating. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply. UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER. WARNING: Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental starting causing serious injury. DOUBLE INSULATION Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded. Make sure lever is in locked position. If router does not plunge freely, reposition lever. 4 FEATURES WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tools internal wiring. Use of such cutters will come in contact with the router base and damage both the cutter and router base. This situation could also cause possible loss of control or create other hazardous conditions that could cause possible serious personal injury. WARNING: If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands or fingers. Always use the wrench provided. DEPTH OF CUT When routing a groove that is too deep to safely cut in one pass, it is best to make the cut in several passes. We recommend that cuts be made at a depth not exceeding 3. 2 mm and that several passes be made to reach deeper cuts. Simply choose a reference point on the scale and slide the zero reset indicator up or down the scale the distance required for new depth of cut. Then change stop bar position by loosening lock knob and adjusting stop bar until red line on zero reset indicator moves back to reference point. The cutter position will now increase or decrease the exact distance the stop bar was adjusted. NOTE: Each mark on the inch scale indicates 1. 6 mm. DEPTH STOP (FIG. 8 & 9) OPERATION SWITCH (FIG. 11) To turn the router ON, press the lock-off button (4) and squeeze the switch (15). To turn the router OFF, release both the switch & lock-off button. Livetool IndicatorTM (34) This tool features a Livetool IndicatorTM which illuminates as soon as the tool is connected to the power supply. This warns the user that the tool is connected to live power and will operate when the switch is pressed. CAUTION: We suggest that you practice with your router before installing a cutter and making cuts in wood. ROUTING (FIG. 12) For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, your router has two handles (3), one on each side of the 6 OPERATION router. Before starting the router, unplug it and make sure the cutter is securely tightened in collet nut and that depth of cut is properly set. Plug router into power supply, turn it on and let motor build to its full speed, then gradually plunge or feed cutter into workpiece. Do not let the cutter contact workpiece before turning on router and allowing it to develop full speed. [. . . ] Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
