1. HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN
PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL MAY
CONTACT HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. Contact with a “live”
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
2. TIGHTEN COLLET NUT SECURELY to prevent the bit from slipping.
3. PROVIDE CLEARANCE under workpiece for router bit when through-
cutting.
4. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CORD will not “hang up” during operation.
5. CLEAR THE ROUTER BIT AREA before starting motor.
6. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP ON TOOL to resist starting torque.
7. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF BIT WHEN MOTOR IS RUNNING to prevent
personal injury.
8. LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the
tool down.
9. NEVER TOUCH ROUTER BITS AFTER USE. They may be extremely
hot.

possible personal injury.

HORIZONTAL POSITION. The motor can separate from the base if not
properly attached according to the instructions (See “ATTACHING THE
MOTOR TO THE ROUTER”) section.

20. 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

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 unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have
defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use tool if
