WARNING
Risk of injury
Never turn the tool on when the Fence Body is

Before turning the tool on, make sure all adjust-
ment handles are locked and the tool is safe to
turn on.
Overview, General Notes and Tips
We recommend routing and joining a test work-
piece before machining the actual workpiece.
Wood is a natural, non-homogenous material and
because of this, its dimensions will most likely de-
viate slightly during processing, even if the machine
is set accurately. Machine handling also influence
the degree of working accuracy (e.g. fast-feed

The switch [1-4] is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 =
OFF).
If an extension cord is required, it must have suffi-
cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop in
voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage
reduces the output and can lead to failure of the
motor. The table below shows you the correct cord
diameter as a function of the cord length for this
tool.

Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. Instead,
use one long one.
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
