DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric
power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
three-wire 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.
Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system
and should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool
to your nearest authorized service center for repair.
Always use original factory replacement parts when
servicing.
A WARNING: The double insulated system is
intended to protect the user from shock resulting
from a break in the tool's internal wiring. Observe
all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical
shock.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your router has a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current).
Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat, if your tool does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check
the power supply.
SWITCH
To turn the router ON, toggle the switch to the I
position. To turn the router OFF. toggle the switch to
the O position.
SPINDLE LOCK
The spindle lock secures the spindle while you make
adjustments and acts as a retainer to keep the router
body from coming out of the base.
DEPTH ADJUSTING RING
The depth adjusting ring allows you to adjust the
depth of cut.
LOCKING ARM
The locking arm secures the motor housing in the
base.
CHIP SHIELD
A clear plastic chip shield is installed on the front of
your router for protection against flying dust and
chips. The shield is designed to fit the opening of the
router base, if necessary to remove chip shield,
squeeze the tabs on each end and pull outward. To
replace, squeeze the tabs at each end, fit into
opening, then release. For your protection, do not
use router without chip shield properly in place.
Peel the horsepower label from chip shield and
discard.
VARIABLE SPEED
Your router has advanced electronic features,
designed to assist you in getting the maximum use
from your router. By making proper speed selections,
your router can be adjusted to specific routing needs.
This eliminates much of the guess work previously
needed to perform a given job. Both the experienced
and inexperienced router users benefit, obtaining
professional like results with fewer job errors.
The variable speed control allows the router speed to
be adjusted from 15,000 to 25,000 RPM. The
variable speed control selector is conveniently located
on the top of the motor housing.
Speed can be set according to the approximate cutter
diameter you will be using and to the hardness of the
material being cut. The best cuts are made when the
cutter is fed through material at the proper rate of
feed.
VACUUM ATTACHMENT
The vacuum attachment allows you to attach a
standard shop vacuum to the router for easy clean up.
