Craftsman 320.28190 - Manual (Page 9)

® PROVIDE CLEARANCE under work piece for router cutting bit when
through-cutting.
® KEEP CUTTING PRESSURE CONSTANT. Do not overioad the motor.
® USE ONLY sharp cutting bits that are not chipped or cracked. Blunt cut­
ting bits will cause stalling and burn the work piece.
® NEVER use this router motor with a cutting bit larger than 3-1/2
inch in diameter.
® ALWAYS USE cutting bits that are designed for this router. Never use
cutting bits which are larger in diameter than the opening in the router
sub-base. Cutting bits that have cutter diameters larger than the opening
could cause possible loss of control or create other hazardous condition that
could cause serious personal injury.
* The sub-base on this fixed base router has an opening of 1-1/4 inch. To
use cutting bits with a larger diameter, install and use a sub-base with a larger
diameter opening (sold separately) at Sears stores or other Craftsman outlets.
» DO NOT use large router cutting bits for freehand routing. Use of large
cutting bits when freehand routing could cause loss of control or create haz­
ardous conditions that could result in serious personal injury. If using a router
table, large bits should be used for edging only.
® BE SURE CUTTING BIT is centered in template guide (sold separately)
prior to template guide applications to avoid personal injury or damage
to finished work.
® DO NOT REMOVE more than 1/8 inch, in a single pass. Excessive depth of
cut can result in loss of control that could result in personal injury.
“ After completing a cut, turn motor OFF and let it come to a complete stop
BEFORE REMOVING router from work piece.
» Let the motor come to a COMPLETE STOP before putting the router
down. Cutting bits coast after power is turned off.
» ONLY use router tables that conform to safe woodworking practices and
offer proper guarding for the cutting bit. Use router tables that are UL clas­
sified and identified suitable for use with this specific router model. Failure to
comply could result in serious personal injury.
» Only use router tables with on-board switch controlled receptacles.
Failure to use router tables with all the appropriate safety features could result
in serious personal injury.
» DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE before making any
adjustments or changing cutting bits.
« If you are changing a bit immediately after use, BE C/tflEFUL NOT TO TOUCH
the collet/nut or cutting bit with your hands or fingers. The heat buildup from
cutting could cause severe bums. /MLWAYS use the wrench provided.
