17. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
18. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Don't operate
tool when you are tired.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked t o determine that it will
operate properly and perform i t s intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized serv-
ice center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don't use
tool if switch does not turn it o n and off.
20. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
21 . REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing. use only identical replacement parts.
22. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will f i t in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not f i t fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician t o install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool t o a power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source w i t h voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY t o the user - as well as damage t o
the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source w i t h
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful t o the motor.
CAUTION :
Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit or install smaller shank bits without
using a collet sleeve. Either can lead to breakage of the collet cone.

By turning the nylon nut, the upper limit
of the tool body can be adjusted. When the
tip of the bit is retracted more than re-
quired in relation to the base plate surface,
turn the nylon nut to lower the upper limit.
CAUTION :
0 Do not lower the nylon nut too low or the bit will protrude dangerously.
0 Before operating the tool, check to be sure that the router automatically rises to the
upper limit.
0Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling the
tool, the depth of cut should not be more than 15 mm (5/8") a t a pass when cutting
grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 15 mm (5/8") deep, make several
passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
Switch action
To start the tool, move the switch lever
to the "ON" position. To stop, move the
switch lever to the "OFF" position.
CAUTION :
Make sure the shaft lock is released before
the switch is turned on.
Operation
0Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making any contact. Then
turn the tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed. Lower the tool body and
move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
0 When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be on the left side of the bit in
the feed direction. (see the figure below).

NOTE :
0 Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit
or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut. The proper
feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind of workpiece and depth of cut. Before
beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it i s advisable to make a sample cut on a
piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as well as enable you
to check dimensions.
When using the straight guide or the trimmer guide, be sure to install it on the right side
in the feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side of the workpiece.

Trimmer guide (Optional accessory)
Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for fur-
niture and the like can be done easily with
the trimmer guide. The guide roller rides
the curve and assures a fine cut.
