EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the
power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart
provided below to determine the minimum wire size required
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
Length of Extension Cord Wire Size (A.W.G.)
Up to 50 14
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters WA on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your router has a precision built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60Hz, AC
only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
CAUTION:
Keep the cord away from the cutting area and position the
cord so that it will not be caught on lumber, tools, or other
objects during cutting.
Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions.
It means attention!!! Your safety is involved.
Your router has been shipped completely assembled and
ready for use. Inspect it carefully to make sure no breakage
or damage has occurred during shipping. If any parts are
damaged or missing, contact your nearest dealer to obtain
replacement parts before attempting to operate router. A
wrench, operator's manual, and warranty registration are
also included.
UNPACKING
WARNING:
If any parts are missing, do not operate your router until
the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could
result in possible serious personal injury.
■ Carefully lift router from the carton and place it on a level
work surface.
■ Do not discard the packing materials until you have
carefully inspected the router, identified all parts, and
satisfactorily operated your new router.
Note: If any parts are damaged or missing, do not attempt to
plug in the power cord and turn the switch on until the
damaged or missing parts are obtained and are installed
correctly.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting or electrical shock that
could cause possible serious personal injury, assemble
all parts to your router before connecting it to power
supply. Router should never be connected to power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, lubricating, installing or removing cutters,
cleaning, or when not in use.
