General Instructions for Use
1. Mark the surface of the material to be cut.
2. Make sure that the Power Switch is in the
Off-position, then plug the Power Cord into the
nearest 120 volt, grounded electrical outlet.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY: Verify that the work surface has
no hidden utility lines before cutting.
3. Push the Power Switch to the
On-position to turn on the Router.
4. Adjust the Router speed to suit the working material
and bit diameter. To adjust speed, turn the Speed
Control Dial from 1 (the slowest speed) to 6 (the
fastest speed). Use lower settings for large diameter
bits and higher settings for small diameter bits.
Note: Determine the optimum speed by testing
in scrap material until you are able to produce a
smooth cut with no burnishing or burn marks. Burn
marks are caused by moving too slowly through
the wood. Feeding the Router too quickly, or trying
to remove too much material in a single pass
creates a rough cut and can overload the motor.
5. Allow the cutting bit to reach full speed
before contacting the workpiece.
6. Slowly engage the workpiece – do not force
the Router down into the material.
7. The cutting bit rotates clockwise.
Adjust for this while cutting:
a. For most materials it is best to move the Router
from left to right as facing the workpiece.
b. When cutting outside edges, move the
Router counterclockwise. When cutting
inside edges, move the Router clockwise.
c. On vertical surfaces, start and end the
cut at the top to prevent scrap material
from falling onto the rotating bit.
Note: Use two or more passes for deep cuts, especially
in the case of hardwood. Turn the Depth Stop Turret
to the highest step to start, then rotate the Turret one
step for each progressive pass until the final depth
is achieved. Each step on the Turret progresses
in 1/4" (6.4 mm) increments totaling 3/4" (19 mm) of
adjustment with one full turn (360°) of the Turret.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
The tool will restart automatically if stalled.
8. After completing the cut, raise the Router
so the cutting bit is clear of the material and
push the Power Switch to the Off-position.
Do not set the Router down until the
bit has come to a complete stop.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
