General Operating instructions
1. Mark cut line on workpiece.
2. Turn Power Switch off, then plug Power Cord into
the nearest 120VAC, grounded electrical outlet.
WarninG! tO preVent SeriOuS inJury: Verify
that workpiece has no hidden utility lines before cutting.
3. Turn Power Switch on.
4. Adjust speed to suit workpiece and bit diameter.
To adjust speed, turn Speed Control Dial from
1 (the slowest speed) to 6 (the fastest speed).
Use lower settings for large diameter bits and
higher settings for small diameter bits.

5. Run the tool for about 10 seconds before
routing to ensure all moving parts are running
smoothly, and there are no loose parts, rattles,
or sparking that would indicate damage.
WarninG! tO preVent SeriOuS inJury:
The tool will restart automatically if stalled.
note: Determine optimum speed by testing on scrap
material until you are able to produce a smooth cut with
no burnishing or burn marks. Burn marks are caused by
moving too slowly through wood. Feeding Router too
quickly, or trying to remove too much material in a single
pass creates a rough cut and can overload the motor.
6. Allow bit to reach full speed before
contacting workpiece.
7. Slowly engage workpiece, do not force
Router down into workpiece.

c. On vertical surfaces, start and end cut
at the top to prevent waste material
from falling onto the rotating bit.
9. When using the Fence: Cut parallel to edge
of workpiece with Fence following edge.
10. When using a Temporary Guide: Cut with
Fence following edge of temporary guide.
11. When making a Circle Cut: With nail
in place through center hole of Fence ,
plunge the bit into workpiece and rotate
Router in a circle around the nail.
12. When using a Template Guide: Cut with
Guide following edge of template.
note: Use two or more passes for deep cuts, especially
in the case of hardwood. When cutting grooves
depth of cut should be limited to 1/8" per pass.
WarninG! tO preVent SeriOuS inJury:
The tool will restart automatically if stalled.
13. After completing cut, raise Router so bit is clear of
workpiece, and turn Power Switch off. Do not set
Router down until bit has come to a complete stop.
14. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children's reach.
