SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
2. When servicing a 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 electric shock or injury.
1. HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN
PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOLS 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. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE before making
adjustments or changing bits.
3. TIGHTEN COLLET NUT securely to prevent the bit from slipping.
4. USE A CLAMP or some other device to hold the workpiece rigidly in
position. and clear the path of the tool of obstructions.
5. PROVIDE CLEARANCE under workpiece for router bit when through-
cutting.
6. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CORD will not “hang up” during routing
operation.
7. CLEAR THE ROUTER BIT AREA before starting motor.
8. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP on router to resist starting torque.
9. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF BIT when motor is running to prevent personal
injury.
10. KEEP CUTTING PRESSURE CONSTANT. Do not overload motor.
11. LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the
tool down.
12. NEVER TOUCH router bits after use. They may be extremely hot.
13. NEVER TIGHTEN COLLET NUT without a bit.
14. DO NOT USE ROUTER BITS with a diameter in excess of 2-1/2" at
RPM above 13,000. Router bits up to 3-1/2" in diameter can be used when
speed control is set for 13,000 RPM or less.
15. ALWAYS KEEP CHIP SHIELD clean and in place.

manual). “Climb-cutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting in
possible personal injury.
