Before using this tool, familiarize yourself with all operat-
ing features and safety requirements. However, do not let
familiarity with the tool make you careless.
This new router is equipped with the following features.
See Figure 1.
MOTOR
The router kit has a powerful 8.5 amp motor with
sufficient power to handle tough routing jobs. It delivers
1-1/2 peak horsepower for heavy duty performance.
SWITCH
The router has a conveniently located rocker switch.
SPINDLE LOCK
The spindle lock secures the spindle so that you only
need one wrench to loosen the collet nut and change
cutters.
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 plastic chip shield on the base of the router provides
protection against flying dust and chips.
FEATURES
ERGONOMIC DESIGN
The design of this tool provides for easy handling. 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
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 overheating.
If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
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.
