DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulationis a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
_i WARNING" The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting
from a break in the tool'sinternal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool
to your nearest authorized service center for repair.
When servicing, use only identical Craftsman
replacement parts.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The router has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with "_MA"on the cord'sjacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

A CAUTION: Keep the extension cords clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
A WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. if damaged replace immediately.Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
