ELECTRICAL
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.
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 norma! safety precautions to avoid electrical
shock.
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.
When servicing, use only identical Craftsman
replacement parts.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The 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.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance
from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord
that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use
the chart to determine the minimum wire size required
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed
by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord
is designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

CAUTION: Keep the extension cords clear of the
working area. Position the cord so that it wili not
get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool. Failure to
do so can result in serious persona! injury.
WARNING: Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use
tool with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
