Additional Safety Rules for Routers

- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

- Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• DO NOT cut metal.

- Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. This will enable better control of the tool.

- Maintain firm grip with both hands on the tool to resist starting torque. Maintain a firm grip on the tool at all times while operating.

- Always follow the bit manufacturer's speed recommendations as some bit designs require specific speeds for safety or performance. If you are unsure of the proper speed or are experiencing any type of problem, contact the bit manufacturer.

- Keep hands away from cutting area above and below the base. Never reach under the workpiece for any reason. Keep the router base firmly in contact with the workpiece when cutting.

• Never run the motor unit when it is not inserted in one of the router bases. The motor is not designed to be handheld.
• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload motor.
• Use sharp bits. Dull bits may cause the router to swerve or stall under pressure.
• Be sure that the motor has stopped completely before you lay the router down. If the cutter head is still spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause injury or damage.
• Be sure that the router bit is clear of the workpiece before starting the motor. If the bit is in contact with the workpiece when the motor starts, it could make the router jump, causing damage or injury.
• ALWAYS disconnect tool from power source before making adjustments or changing bits.
• Keep hands clear of bit when motor is running to prevent personal injury.
• NEVER touch the bit immediately after use. It may be extremely hot.
• Provide clearance under workpiece for router bit when through-cutting.
• Tighten collet nut securely to prevent the bit from slipping.
• Never tighten collet nut without a bit.
• Do not use router bits with a cutting diameter in excess of 1-3/8" (34.9 mm) in this tool.
• Always use cutters with a shank diameter of 1/4" (6.4 mm) which corresponds to the size of the collet in your tool.
• Not recommended for use in a router table.
• Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in the opposite direction of that shown in Figure N). Climb-cutting increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible injury. When climb-cutting is required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain control of router. Make smaller cuts and remove minimal material with each pass.
• Do not hand-hold the router in an upside-down or horizontal position. The motor can separate from the base if not properly attached according to the instructions.
• Before starting the motor clear the work area of all foreign objects.
• Do not use in a router table.
• Always keep the chip shield (if included) clean and in place.
• Do not press spindle lock button while the motor is running. Doing so can damage the spindle lock.
• Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the tool to jump.

Additional Safety Information

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sanding, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,
  • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
  • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to grease tube cavity out microscopic particles.

• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lie on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face and body.
• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the working environment or pose an increased health risk to the operator and those in close proximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control and injury.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

CANTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.

2. Depress motor release lever 14 to freely slide the motor unit 6 up and down. Adjust the motor unit until the bit just touches the workpiece.
3. Turn the depth adjustment knob 5 for small adjustments to ensure the bit touches the workpiece.
   NOTE: Turning the knob right raises the motor unit. Turning the knob left lowers the motor unit.

NOTE: Each mark on the adjustment scale represents a depth change of 1/64" or .015" (0.4 mm) and one full (360°) turn of the ring changes the depth 1/16" or 0.0625" (1.6 mm).

1. Close the locking lever to lock the base.

Removing the Motor from the Fixed Base (Fig. K)

1. Remove the battery pack from the motor unit. Refer to Installing and Removing the Battery Pack.
2. Open the locking lever 9 on the base.
3. Depress the motor release lever 14.
4. With the other hand, grasp the base unit 7 and pull the motor unit 6 from the base unit.

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. L)

WARNING: Ensure the tool/appliance is in the off position before inserting the battery pack.

NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is fully charged.

1. To install the battery pack 1 into the tool handle, align the battery pack with the rails inside the tool's handle and slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool and ensure that it does not disengage.
2. To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the battery release button 2 and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger section of this manual.

Proper Hand Position (Fig. M)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.

When using the fixed base, one hand should be on top of the battery and the other hand around the fixed base.

Starting and Stopping the Motor

CAUTION: Before starting the tool, clear the work area of foreign objects. Also keep firm grip on tool to resist starting torque.

CANTION: To avoid personal injury and/or damage to finished work, always allow the power unit to come to a COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool down.

To turn the unit on, depress the side of the dust-protected switch 3 that has the symbol "I." To turn the unit off, depress the side of the switch that has the symbol "O."

Cutting with the Fixed Base

Set up the router to use the fixed base by following the instructions in the Assembly and Adjustments section.

After the router is set-up, install the battery pack as shown in Fig. C, then set your router speed (refer to Choosing Router Speed).

NOTE: Always feed the router opposite to the direction in which the cutter is rotating.

Direction of Feed (Fig. N)

The direction of feed is very important when routing and can make the difference between a successful job and a ruined project. The figures show the proper direction of feed for some typical cuts. A general rule to follow is to move the router in a counterclockwise direction on an outside cut and a clockwise direction on an inside cut.

Shape the outside edge of a piece of stock by following these steps:

1. Shape the end grain, left to right
2. Shape the straight grain side moving left to right
3. Cut the other end grain side
4. Finish the remaining straight grain edge

Choosing Router Speed (Fig. A)

Refer to the Speed Selection Chart to choose a router speed. Turn the variable speed dial 4 to control router speed.

Soft Start Feature

The compact routers are equipped with electronics to provide a soft start feature that minimizes the start up torque of the motor.

Variable Speed Control (Fig. A)

WARNING: If the speed control ceases to operate, or is intermittent, stop using the tool immediately. Take it to a CRAFTSMAN factory service center or a CRAFTSMAN authorized service center for repair.

WARNING: Always follow the bit manufacturer's special recommendations as some bit designs require specific speeds for safety or performance. If you are unsure of the proper speed or are experiencing any type of problem, contact the bit manufacturer.

This router is equipped with a variable speed dial 4 with 7 speeds between 16000 and 30000 RPM. Adjust the speed by turning the variable speed dial.

NOTICE: The router is equipped with electronics to monitor and maintain the speed of the tool while cutting. In low and medium speed operation, the speed control prevents the motor speed from decreasing. If you expect to hear a speed change and continue to load the motor, you could damage the motor by overheating. Reduce the depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to prevent tool damage.

SPEED SELECTION CHART*

DIAL SETTING APPROX. RPM APPLICATION
1 16000
3 20600
4 22900
5 25200
6 27500
7 30000

*The speeds in this chart are approximate and are for reference only. Your router may not exactly produce the speed listed for the dial setting.

NOTE: Make several light passes instead of one heavy pass for better quality work.

Worklight (Fig. A)

The worklight 17 is located at the front of the motor unit 6. To turn on the worklight, switch on the on/off switch 3. Worklight will remain on 20 seconds after the on/off switch is moved to the off position.

NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface and are not intended to be used as a flashlight.

NOTE: If worklight flashes, check the charge on the battery; it could be low. If it still flashes with a charged battery, the unit should be taken to a service centre for evaluation.
