SELECTING THE CUTTER BIT
This router comes with 1/4-in, and 1/2-in,_collets/nuts that accept 1/4 and 1/2-inch
diameter shanked cutter bits.
Z_ WARNING:
Do not use router cutter bits that have a cutter bit diameter
larger than 1 _14-inches as they will not fit through the sub-base opening, and
will cause damage to the sub-base, the motor, and could cause serious personal
injury to the operator.
NOTE: The sub-base installed on this router has an opening of 1 ll4-inches.
To use cutting bits with a larger diameter, use a sub-base with a larger opening,
sold separately at Sears stores or other Craftsman outlets.
WARNING:
When using router bits with a cutter diameter larger than
1 t/2 inches, ALWAYS have the speed dial set at number 1 or 2. Refer to the
Variable Speed Selection Chart located on top cap of the motor housing for the
maximum speeds to use with cutting bit diameters. Failure to follow these
instructions could cause loss of control of the router in the workpiece, causing
possible serious personal injury.
