[. . . ] Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury. WARNING: The tool should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause injury. PACKING LIST Router Router Base Collet Wrench Tool Bag 8 OPERATION WARNING: Exercise caution when using this tool. Careless actions, for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious personal injury. You may use the router for the purposes listed below: I Routing Grooves, shaping edges, etc. 2 WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when using your router. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, chips, loose particles, or foreign objects being thrown in your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. If the operation is dusty, also wear a face or dust mask. TURNING THE ROUTER ON/OFF See Figure 2. I To turn off the router: Toggle the switch to the O position. OPERATING THE ROUTER See Figure 3. 3 WARNING: Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing serious injury. NOTE: Do not let the cutter contact the workpiece before starting the router and allowing it to develop full speed. Turn off the router upon completion of cut, and let the motor come to a complete stop before removing the router from the workpiece. WARNING: Never place the router down on a work surface before the cutter stops. 9 OPERATION WARNING: Never connect the router to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing cutters, or when not in use. Large cutters, such as straight-flute bits, are made to remove larger amounts of wood. You can make deeper cuts in soft woods, such as white pine, than in hardwoods, like oak or maple. Based on these considerations, choose a depth of cut that will not place excessive strain on the router motor. If you find that extra force is needed or that the motor speed slows down considerably, turn off the router and reduce the 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. Adjusting the depth of cut for the plunge router is different from adjusting the depth of cut for the fixed router. 6 DEPTH ADJUSTMENT RING INDICATOR ARROW WARNING: Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing serious injury. Turn the depth adjusting ring counterclockwise until the tip of the cutter touches the flat surface. Turn the depth indicator ring until the zero lines up with the indicator point on the base. Position the router so that the cutter can extend below the subbase for desired depth of cut. NOTE: To adjust the depth of cut when the router is mounted to a router table, turn the depth adjustment ring until the cutter reaches the desired depth of cut. [. . . ] On the other hand, if the guide is positioned as shown (out from the workpiece edge), the bit will make less than a full cut -- which will alter the shape of the finished edge. NOTE: When edge shaping with guides, you can use any of the piloted bits without a pilot. The size (diameter) of the pilot determines the maximum cut width that you can make with the pilot against the workpiece edge. The small pilot exposes all of the bit; the large one reduces this amount by 1/16 inch (1. 6 mm). [. . . ]
