Starting and Stopping the Motor, Using the Tool

STARTING AND STOPPING THE MOTOR

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

The motor units for these routers can be used with either the base having two handles or the base with the switch-in-handle.

Fig. 7

When using the base with two handles, as shown in Fig. 6, the motor is started and stopped by depressing the rocker switch (A) Fig. 6, into the ON or OFF position.

When using the base with the switch-in-handle as shown in Fig. 7, be sure the motor unit power cord (A) is plugged into the handle as in Fig. 7, and the switch (B) on the motor is set to the ON position. The starting and stopping of the motor is then controlled by depressing and releasing the trigger switch (C) in the handle of base.

On applications when it is desirable to keep the motor running without continually holding in the trigger switch (C) Fig. 7, simply depress the trigger

(C)into the handle and press in the switch locking the button on the side of the handle. While holding the button in, slowly release the trigger. To stop the motor, squeeze trigger into handle and release to disengage locking button.

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

USING THE TOOL

IMPORTANT: Before using the tool, consider the kind and total amount of material to be removed. More than one cut may be necessary to avoid overloading the motor. Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will allow you to see the finished cut and to check dimensions.

Always be sure the work is rigidly clamped or otherwise secured before making a cut.

Generally speaking, when working on a bench, the workpiece should be held on the bench by wood clamps. When routing edges, hold the router firmly down and against the work with both guiding handles.

Since the cutter rotates clockwise (when viewing router from top), the router should be moved from left to right as you stand facing the work. When working on the inside of a templet, move the router in a clockwise direction.

When working on the outside of a templet, move the router in a counter- clockwise direction.
