Electrical Safety 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. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Grounded Tools with Three Prong Plugs Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
EXTENSION CORDS Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
When unpacking, check to make sure that all the parts are included. Refer to the Assembly section, and the Assembly Drawing and Parts List at the end of this manual. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.
Installing the Router Bit Always unplug the Router Line Cord from the electrical outlet before making adjustments and before installing bits. Insert the Spanner Wrench (75) over the Collet Nut (31) and press in on the Spindle Lock button to keep it from turning. Loosen the Collet Nut (31) by turning it counterclockwise, but do not remove.

Using the Straight Guide The Straight Guide is used to make cuts parallel to the edge of a workpiece, or following a guide clamped onto the workpiece. Assemble the Guide Plate Bracket (59) to the Guide Plate (58) using the Triangle Knob (55).

Using the Circle Guide The Circle Guide enables cutting circles between 2-3/4 and 8-1/2 inches. Assemble the Circle Guide components by placing the Plastic Rotary Ring, Upper (67) through the top of the Lower Steel Hoop Ring (68) and Circle Arm (69), and screw into the Plastic Rotary Ring, Lower (70).
Cutting Holes Freehand Assemble the components of the Circle Guide as described on the previous page, steps 1 through 7, with this exception: leave off the Circle Arm (69). Install a cutting bit as described on page 10. Adjust the bit depth to only 1/8 inch deeper than the material being cut (i.e., drywall). When cutting drywall that is already mounted on the wall joists, be certain that the circuit current to the wires in the wall are shut off at the circuit breaker.
