ELECTRICAL SAFETY
_,
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of the plug when
installing or removing the plug from the outlet.
Double insulated tools
are equipped
with a polarized
plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact
a qualified
electrician
to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
Double insulation
[] eliminates the need for a three-wire
grounded
power
cord and grounded
power-supply
system. Applicable
only to Class II (double-
insulated) tools.
This router motor is double insulated.
A_, WARNING:
Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions
when operating
this tool.
Before
plugging
in the tool, be sure that the outlet voltage supplied
is within
the voltage marked on the tool's data plate. Do not use "AC only" rated tools
with a DC power supply.
Avoid body contact
with grounded
surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Do not expose power
tools to rain or wet conditions
or use power tools
in wet or damp locations.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric
shock.
Inspect
tool cords
for damage.
Have damaged
tool cords repaired at a
Craftsman
Service Center. Be sure to remain aware of the cord's location
and
keep it well away from the moving router.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately.
Damaged
cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating
a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension
cord
marked "W-A" or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper
extension
cord. Only use cords listed by Underwriters
Laboratories
(UL). Other extension
cords can cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting
in a loss of power and overheating
of the tool. For this tool, an AWG
(American
Wire Gauge) size of at least 14-gauge
is recommended
for an
extension
cord of 25-ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for a 50-ft.-long
cord.
