GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

3 - English
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
When servicing a power tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.

4 - English
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possible serious injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest authorized service center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in
length. A cord exceeding 50 feet is not recommended.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
Bits coast after router has been turned off.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product.
If you loan someone this product, loan them these
instructions also.

DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protect-
ing insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be
grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the
tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replace-
ment parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If
damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with
a damaged cord since touching the damaged area
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.

INSTALLING/REMOVING COLLETS AND BITS
See Figures 4 - 5, page 15.
Unplug the router.
Depress and hold the spindle lock button.
NOTE: If the button is depressed and does not go all the
way in, turn the collet while continuing to push the spindle
lock button until the button locks into place.
Using the collet wrench provided, loosen the collet nut.
NOTE: If changing bits, bit will easily slip from collet after
loosening.
Install the collet adaptor if desired.
To install the adaptor:
Insert the 1/4 in. collet adaptor into the collet until it bot-
toms out.
NOTE: The collet is designed to hold bits with a
1/2 in. diameter shank. To use bits with a 1/4 in. diameter
shank, the 1/4 in. collet adaptor must first be installed.
Insert the desired bit until the cutting area of the bit is
approximately 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. away from the collet nut
face.
NOTE: Make sure that the collet always clamps the shank
(non-cutting end) of the bit.
Tighten the collet nut securely by turning it clockwise with
the wrench provided.

WARNING:
Bit continues to rotate after the router has been
turned off. To avoid injury, wait until the bit has
come to a complete stop before removing router
from the workpiece.
OPERATION
SELECTING DEPTH OF CUT
Proper depth of cut depends on several factors: the horse-
power of the router motor, the type of bit, and the type of
wood. A lightweight, low horsepower router is designed for
making shallow cuts; a router with higher horsepower is
designed for deeper cuts. Small bits, such as veining bits
with 1/16 in. cutting diameters, are designed to remove only
small amounts of wood. Large bits, such as straight-flute
bits, remove larger amounts of wood and make deeper cuts
in soft woods, such as white pine.
Choose a depth of cut that will not place excessive strain on
the router motor. If you need extra force or the motor speed
slows down considerably, turn off the router and reduce the
depth of cut. Then, make the cut in two or more passes.
When routing a groove that is too deep to safely cut in one
pass, make the cut in several passes. We recommend that
cuts be made at a depth not exceeding 1/8 in. and that
several passes be made to reach deeper cuts.
SETTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 6 - 7, page 16.
The bit depth can be adjusted by turning the depth adjust-
ment knob clockwise or counterclockwise. The depth setting
can be read on the depth adjustment knob. Each mark on
the scale indicates a 1/64 in. change in depth setting.
Unplug the router.
Unlock the lock lever.
Turn the depth adjustment knob counterclockwise to
increase the depth of cut or clockwise to decrease the
depth of cut.
NOTE: It should not be possible to make depth adjust-
ments with the lock lever locked. If depth adjustments
are possible with the lock lever locked, an adjustment to
the lock lever needs to be made. See Adjustments.
When the desired depth of cut is set, lock the lock lever.
NOTE: To adjust the depth of cut when the router is mounted
to a router table,unlock the lock lever, turn the depth adjust-
ment knob until the bit reaches the desired depth of cut, and
lock the lock lever.
When the router is mounted to a router table, depth adjust-
ments can be made easily by using the supplied T-handle
wrench.
To make through table adjustments:
Unplug the router.
Loosen the lock lever.
Insert the T-handle wrench through the hole in the router
table into the hole on the subbase, and place the end of
the wrench socket over the adjusting nut.
Turn the wrench counterclockwise to decrease the depth
of cut or clockwise to increase the depth of cut.

10 - English
OPERATING THE ROUTER
See Figures 10 - 11, page 16.
When routing straight cuts across a workpiece, clamp a
straight edge to the workpiece to use as a guide.
NOTE: Edge guides for the router are also available. See
Accessories.
Position the straight edge parallel to the line of cut and offset
the distance between the cutting edge of the bit and the edge
of the router base. Hold the router base against the straight
edge and rout the groove.
When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the bit,
clamp a straight edge on both sides of the cut lines. Position
both guides parallel to the desired line of cut and spaced
equal distances from the desired edges of the groove. Rout
along one guide then reverse direction and rout along the
other guide. Clean out any remaining waste in the center of
the groove.
When routing a groove, the travel should be in a direction
that places the guide you are using at the right-hand side.
When the guide is positioned as shown in the “guide inside”
illustration (figure 14), tool travel should be from left to right
and counterclockwise around curves. When the guide is
positioned as shown in the “guide outside” illustration (figure
14), tool travel should be from right to left and clockwise
around curves. If there is a choice, the first setup is generally
the easier to use. In either case, the sideways thrust you use
is against the guide.
INTERNAL ROUTING
Tilt router and place on workpiece without the bit contact-
ing the workpiece.
Turn the router on and let the motor build up to full speed.
Gradually feed bit into the workpiece until the subbase
is level with the workpiece.
Upon completion of the cut, turn the router off and let the
bit come to a complete stop before removing the router
from the workpiece.
EDGE ROUTING
Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece as a guide.
 Place the router on the edge of the workpiece without
the bit contacting the workpiece.
Turn router on and let the motor build up to full speed.
Gradually feed the bit into the workpiece using the
clamped straight edge as a guide.
Upon completion of the cut, turn the router off and let the
bit come to a complete stop before removing the router
from the workpiece.
OPERATION
NOTE: It should not be possible to make depth adjust-
ments with the lock lever locked. If depth adjustments
are possible with the lock lever locked, an adjustment to
the lock lever needs to be made. See Adjustments.
When the desired depth of cut is set, lock the lock lever.
WARNING:
Do not use with router tables that fail to conform
to safe woodworking practices and offer proper
guarding for the bit. Use router tables that are UL
classified and identified suitable for use with the
specific router model. Failure to comply can result
in an accident causing possible injury.
WARNING:
Only use router tables with proper guarding
for the bit and with on-board switch controlled
receptacles. Failure to use router tables with
appropriate safety features could result in serious
personal injury.
TURNING THE ROUTER ON AND OFF
See Figure 8, page 16.
The router features a soft start which allows for a gradual
increase in speed from 0/min. to the variable speed dial
setting. For example, if the router is set at 16,000/min. at
the time it is switched off and is then activated again, the
motor is designed to gradually rev up to that speed instead
of starting out at the full 16,000/min.
To turn the router on, push the switch to the ( I) or ON
position. Return the switch to the ( O) or OFF position when
routing operation is finished.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
See Figure 9, page 16.
The router has a variable speed dial designed to allow
the operator control and adjustment of speed and power
limits. The speed and power of the router can be increased or
decreased by rotating the variable speed dial in the direction
of the arrows.
NOTE: Hold the router in normal operating position and turn
the variable speed dial to the higher numbers to increase
speed and power. Turn to the lower numbers to decrease
speed and power.
Avoid running the router at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the router to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the router by running it without a load and at full speed.
To adjust the router speed, turn the variable speed dial to
the desired speed setting.

WARNING:
Do not use large router bits for freehand routing.
Use of large router bits when freehand routing
could cause loss of control or create other
hazardous conditions that could result in personal
injury. If using a router table, large bits should be
used for edging only.
FREEHAND ROUTING
See Figure 12, page 16.
When used freehand, the router becomes a flexible and
versatile tool. This flexibility makes it possible to easily rout
signs, relief sculptures, etc. When freehand routing:
 Draw or layout the pattern on the workpiece.
Choose the appropriate bit.
NOTE: A core box or V-groove bit is often used for rout-
ing letters and engraving objects. Straight bits and ball
mills are often used to make relief carvings. Veining bits
are used to carve small, intricate details.
Rout the pattern in two or more passes. Make the first
pass at 25% of the desired depth of cut. This will provide
better control as well as being a guide for the next pass.
NOTE: Do not rout deeper than 1/8 in. per pass.
EDGING WITH PILOT BIT
See Figure 13, page 16.
The arbor-type bits with pilots are excellent for quick, easy,
edge shaping of any workpiece edge that is either straight
or curved at a curvature as great or greater than the radius
of the bit to be used. The pilot prevents the bit from mak-
ing too deep a cut; and holding the pilot firmly in contact
with the workpiece edge throughout prevents the cut from
becoming too shallow.
Whenever the workpiece thickness together with the desired
depth of cut (as adjusted by router depth setting) are such
that only the top part of the edge is to be shaped (leaving
at least a 1/16 in. thick uncut portion at bottom), the pilot
can ride against the uncut portion, which serves to guide it.
However, if the workpiece is too thin or the bit set too low
so that there will be no uncut edge to ride the pilot against,
an extra board to act as a guide must be placed under the
workpiece. This “guide” board must have exactly the same
contour— straight or curved—as the workpiece edge. If it is
positioned so that its edge is flush with the workpiece edge,
the bit will make a full cut (in as far as the bit radius). On the
other hand, if the guide is positioned as shown in figure 12
(out from the workpiece edge), the bit will make less than
a full cut — which will alter the shape of the finished edge.
NOTE: Any of the piloted bits can be used without a pilot for
edge shaping with guides, as preceding. The size (diameter)
of the pilot that is used determines the maximum cut width
that can be made with the pilot against the workpiece edge
(the small pilot exposes all of the bit; the large one reduces
this amount by 1/16 in.).
DIRECTION OF FEED AND THRUST
See Figures 14 - 15, pages 16 - 17.
The router motor and bit revolve in a clockwise direction. This
gives the tool a slight tendency to twist in a counterclockwise
direction, especially when the motor revs up.
Feed the router into the workpiece from left to right. When
fed from left to right, the rotation of the bit pulls the router
against the workpiece. If fed in the opposite direction, the
rotation of the spinning bit will tend to throw the router away
from the workpiece causing kickback. This could cause you
to lose control of the router.
Because of the high speed of bit rotation during a proper
feeding operation, there is very little kickback under normal
conditions. However, if the bit strikes a knot, hard grain,
or foreign object that affects the normal progress of the
cutting action, there will be a slight kickback. The direction
of kickback is always in the direction opposite bit rotation.
This will affect the trueness of the cut.
To guard against kickback, plan the setup and direction of
feed so that you will always be thrusting the tool in the same
direction that the leading edge of the bit is moving. The thrust
should be in a direction that keeps the sharp edges of the
bit continuously biting straight into new (uncut) wood.
NOTE: For best results, make sure to take enough time to
set up for cutting. While cutting, make sure to use the proper
rate of feed.
PROPER RATE OF FEED
Professional routing depends upon careful setup and proper
rate of feed which is learned through practice and use. The
proper rate of feed is dependent upon:
hardness and moisture content of the workpiece
depth of cut
cutting diameter of the bit
When cutting shallow grooves in soft woods such as pine, a
faster rate of feed can be used. When making cuts in hard-
woods such as oak, a slower rate of feed is required.
Several factors will help you select the proper rate of feed.
Choose the rate that does not slow down the motor.
Choose the rate at which the bit advances firmly and
surely to produce a continuous spiral of uniform chips
or a smooth edge.
Listen to the sound of the motor. A high-pitched sound
means you are feeding too slowly. A strained, lower
pitched sound signals force feeding.
Check the progress of each cut. Too slow feeding can
cause the router to take off in a wrong direction from the
intended line of cut. Force feeding increases the strain
of holding the tool and results in loss of speed.

12 - English
Notice the chips being produced as you cut. If the router
is fed too slowly, it will scorch or burn the wood. If fed
too fast, it will take large chips out of the wood and leave
gouge marks.
Test a cut on a scrap piece of the workpiece before you
begin. Always grasp and hold the router firmly with both
hands.
If you are making a small diameter, shallow groove in soft,
dry wood, the proper feed rate may be determined by the
speed at which you can travel the router along the guide line.
If the bit is a large one, the cut is deep, or the workpiece is
hard to cut, the proper feed may be a very slow one. A cross
grain cut may require a slower pace than an identical with
grain cut in the same workpiece.
FEEDING TOO FAST
See Figure 16, page 17.
Clean, smooth routing and edge shaping can be done only
when the bit is revolving at a relatively high speed and is
taking very small bites to produce tiny, cleanly severed chips.
If you force the router to move forward too fast, the RPM of
the bit becomes slower than normal in relation to its forward
movement. As a result, the bit must take bigger bites as it
revolves. Bigger bites mean bigger chips and a rougher
finish. Also, because bigger bites require more power, the
router motor may become overloaded.
Under extreme force-feeding conditions, the relative RPM
of the bit can become so slow—and the bites it has to take
so large—that chips will be partially knocked off (rather
than fully cut off). This causes splintering and gouging of
the workpiece.
The router is an extremely high-speed tool, and will make
clean, smooth cuts if allowed to run freely without the over-
load of a forced feed. You can always detect force feeding
by the sound of the motor. Its high-pitched whine will sound
lower and stronger as it loses speed. Also, the strain of hold-
ing the tool will be noticeably increased.
FEEDING TOO SLOWLY
See Figure 17, page 17.
It is possible to spoil a cut by moving the router forward too
slowly. When you advance the router into the work too slowly,
the revolving bit does not dig into new wood fast enough
to take a bite; instead, it merely scrapes away sawdust-like
particles. Scraping produces heat, which can glaze, burn,
or mar the cut and in extreme cases, can overheat the bit,
destroying its hardness.
OPERATION
When the bit is scraping instead of cutting, controlling the
router is more difficult. With practically no load on the mo-
tor, the bit revolves at close to top RPM, and has a much
greater than normal tendency to bounce off the sides of
the cut (especially if the wood has a pronounced grain with
hard and soft areas). As a result, the cut produced may have
rippled, instead of straight, sides.
Feeding too slowly can also cause the router to take off in a
wrong direction from the intended line of cut. Always grasp
and hold the router firmly with both hands when routing.
You can detect when you are feeding the router too slowly by
the runaway, high-pitched sound of the motor or by feeling
the wiggle of the bit in the cut.
DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 18 - 19, page 17.
Depth of cut is important because it affects the rate of feed
that, in turn, affects the quality of the cut and the possibility
of damage to the tool’s motor and bit.
A deep cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one. A cut
that is too deep will slow the feed so that the bit is scraping
rather than cutting. A too deep cut can cause smaller bits
to be broken off. Bits that are 1/16 in. in diameter are easily
broken off when subjected to too much side thrust. A large
enough bit is not likely to break, but attempting a cut that is
too deep may result in a rough cut, and it may be difficult to
guide and control the bit as desired. It is recommended that
you do not exceed 1/8 in. depth or width of cut in a single
pass, regardless of the bit size or the softness or condition
of the workpiece.
To make deeper cuts, make as many successive passes as
needed, lowering the bit 1/8 in. for each new pass. To save
time, perform all the cutting necessary at one depth setting
before lowering the bit for the next pass. This will insure a
uniform depth when you complete the final pass.
NOTE: Do not remove more than 1/8 in. x 1/8 in. in a single
pass. Excessive depth or width of cut can result in loss of
control and the possibility of serious personal injury.

amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrica-
tion is required.
CLEANING THE BITS
Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping
bits clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and
gum from bits after each use. When sharpening bits, sharpen
only the inside of the cutting edge. Never grind the outside
diameter. When sharpening the end of a bit, be sure to grind
the clearance angle the same as originally ground.
CLEANING THE COLLET
From time to time, it becomes necessary to clean the collet
and collet nut. To do so, simply remove collet nut from collet
and clean the dust and chips that have collected. Then return
collet nut to its original position.
