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. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. [. . . ] 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. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). 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. Remove (L) the screw supporting the plunge lock lever. Place the lever back in the original locked position. Check for free plunge with lever rotated to unlocked 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. To increase the speed and torque of your router, turn the variable speed control selector to a higher setting (F). Turn to a lower setting to decrease speed and torque. NOTE: If you do not want to use the variable speed control selector, turn it to the highest possible setting, and the feature will not be active. We suggest that you practice with the variable speed feature of your router before installing a cutter and making cuts in wood. TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT (FIG. 5-7) Loosen the stop bar (9) Unlock (U) the plunge lock lever (14). Lower the router body until the cutter is in contact with the work-piece. Lock the depth stop (8) at the right height. Set the exact depth of cut using the graduation. The distance between the stop bar (9) and screw of the depth stop (8) is setting plunge depth. Tighten the stop bar lock knob (10) to set depth of plunge. The depth stop (8) can be used to set three different depths. [. . . ] Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. CUTTERS Get faster and more accurate cutting results by keeping cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum from cutters after each use. When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of the cutting edge. [. . . ]
