EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the product's plug. When using a power product at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the product 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.

**Ampere rating (on product data plate)

0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0

Cord Length		Wire Size (A.W.G.)
25'	16	16	16	16	14
50'	16	16	16	14	14
100'	16	16	14	12	10

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with "W-A" or "W" on the cord's jacket.

Before using an 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, products or other obstructions while you are working with a power product. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use product with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This product is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of this product depends on the router you are using. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor's horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power product motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power product may not be able to support two or three products.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

See Figure 1.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This product is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin like the one shown.

OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with products to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this product for the purposes listed below:

■ Table mounted dado and mortise operations in wood and wood composition materials
■ Fence guided edging operations for cabinetry and picture framing on wood and wood composition materials
- Piloted cutter operations using the starting pin for edging patterned surfaces on wood and wood composition materials

WARNING:

The router or router table should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing cutters, cleaning, or when not in use. Disconnecting the router and router table will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.

WARNING:

The direction of feed for the workpiece is always against the sharp edges of the cutter and therefore into the rotation of the cutter. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

When operating the router with the router table, the router must only be plugged into and controlled by the router table switched outlet. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never connect the table mounted router into another power source.

OPERATION

PERFORMING A ROUTING OPERATION

See Figures 21 - 23.

Observe the following rules when using the router:

• Read the entire operator's manual for the router and router table.
• Plug the router table power cord into a power source.
  ■ Always control the power to the router with the router table switch whenever the router is mounted on the table.
  ■ Always plug the router into either of the router table switched outlets. Never plug a router table mounted router into another power source.
  ■ Position the infeed and outfeed fence so they are close to the maximum diameter of the cutter, but not touching the cutter.

NOTE: The workpiece must always be tight against the fence, unless you are using a ball-bearing piloted cutter.

• Adjust the infeed fence to support the uncut workpiece and adjust the outfeed fence to support the workpiece after the cut. The "0" location on the fence scale denotes the center of the throat opening of the table.
  ■ Reconfirm that all router adjustments are securely locked before connecting the router table to a power source.
  ■ The cutter rotates counterclockwise (as viewed above the table) on the router table. Always feed the workpiece against the sharp edges of the cutter.
  ■ Make sure the router table switch is OFF (O) when not in use. Remove the switch key to ensure the router table is off.

WARNING:

Never feed the workpiece in the same direction of rotation of the bit. Feeding in this direction can cause the workpiece to climb over the bit and cause serious personal injury.

WARNING:

When making a side or edge cut, never position the fence such that the workpiece is located between the cutter and the fence. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

INSERTING/REMOVING CUTTERS

■ Unplug the router table and/or the router.
■ Remove the router/insert plate assembly. (See Installing Router/Insert Plate Assembly in the Assembly section.)

OPERATION

WARNING:

If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands or fingers. They will get burned because of the heat buildup from cutting. Always use a wrench.

- Consult the router operator's manual for proper cutter removal/installation procedure and replace cutter.

ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT

Consult the router operator's manual for adjusting the depth of cut.

The fence enables you to support and guide the workpiece.

■ Unplug the router table and/or the router.
■ Loosen the fence lock knobs.
■ Position the fence to the desired location.
■ Tighten the fence lock knobs.

NOTE: The outfeed fence has joining capabilities and can be adjusted out in increments up to 1/4 in. and enable you to support the workpiece as it exits the cutter.

WARNING:

When making a side or edge cut, never position the fence such that the workpiece is located between the cutter and the fence. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

A groove can be cut in the workpiece by adjusting the fence back from the cutter. When cutting a groove, feed the workpiece from right to left. When widening an existing groove, make certain that the side being cut is against the leading edge of the cutter. This would be the side farthest from the fence when the workpiece is fed from right to left. As shown in figures 21 - 23.

WARNING:

When making a secondary groove cut to widen a groove, always cut the groove against the direction of rotation of the cutter. Failure to do this can cause the workpiece to pull away and can result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which could result in serious personal injury.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.
