WARNING:
Your router should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing cutters, or when not in use.
Disconnecting your router will prevent accidental starting
that could cause serious injury.
INSTALLING/REMOVING CUTTERS
See Figures 2 and 3.
1. UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
WARNING:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
spindle lock.
2. A spindle lock is located on the top of the end cap. See
Figure 2. To activate lock, (1) push spindle lock in, (2)
slide into lock position, then (3) release spindle lock.
3. Place your router upside down on table, then turn collet
nut with wrench until lock mechanism interlocks. See
Figure 3. NOTE: Spindle lock is spring loaded and will
snap into position when lock mechanism interlocks.
WARNING:
If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be
careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands or
fingers. They will get burned because of the heat buildup
from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
4. Remove cutters by turning collet nut counterclockwise
enough to allow cutter to slip easily from collet. See
Figure 3. The collet is machined to precision tolerances
to fit cutters with 1/4 in. diameter shank size.
5. With your router still upside down on table, insert shank
of cutter into collet. The shank of your cutter should be
close to but not touching bottom of collet.
6. Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise
with the wrench provided. See Figure 3. Put spindle
lock back in unlock position. Otherwise, the interlock-
ing mechanism of the spindle lock will not let you turn
your router on. To unlock spindle, (1) push spindle lock
in, (2) slide into unlock position, then (3) release spindle
lock. See Figure 2.
OPERATION
Do not use cutters with undersized shanks. Undersized
shanks will not tighten properly and could be thrown from
tool causing injury.
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 voltage drop of more than 10
percent 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.
Before connecting your router to power supply, always
check to be sure switch is not in "lock-on" position. Failure
to do so could result in accidental starting of your router
resulting in possible serious injury.
