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
only be connected to a power supply of the type specifi ed
on the rating plate of the machine, AC only. Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A voltage drop of more than
10 percent 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 threewire
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.
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tools
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to
avoid electrical shock.
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualifi ed service technician. For
service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
authorized service center for repair.
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such
alteration or modifi cation is misuse and could result
in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious
personal injury.

ADJUSTMENTS
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.
CUTTER INSTALLATION
See Figure 3 and 4.
 Unplug your router.
Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental
starting, causing serious injury.
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock,
always allow motor to come to a complete stop before
engaging the spindle lock.
 Remove chip shield from router base.
 Depress spindle lock.
 Lay router down on workbench in order to gain easy
access to collet nut.
 Place the spanner provided through front of router
base onto collet nut and turn counterclockwise to
loosen.
If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be
careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands
or fi ngers. They will get burned because of the heat
buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
 Install cutter once collet nut is loose. If changing
cutters, cutter will easily slip from collet after loosening
collet nut. For example: The collet is machined to
precision tolerances to fit cutters with 1/4 in (6.35 mm)
diameter shanks. To use cutters with 1/4 in (6.35 mm)
diameter shanks, insert the 1/4 in cutter into the 1/4 in
(6.35 mm) collet.
 Insert shank of cutter until shank bottoms out, then pull
it out 1/16 in (1.6 mm) to allow for expansion when the
bit gets hot.
 Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise
with the spanner provided.
