GENERAL

Only the parts shown on parts list, page 17, are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts represent an important part of the double insulation system and should be serviced only by a qualified Sears service technician.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic pads. 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, carbon dust, etc.

oils, etc. come in contact with plastic pads. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.

It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electdc tool parts such as bearings,

brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended

work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent

tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.

A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. When working outdoors, use an extension

cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord'sjacket will be marked WA.

CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will

not get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during cutting operation.

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,

Extension cords suitable for use with your router are available at your nearest Sears Retail Store.

&WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power

tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

PROPER CARE OFCUTTERS

Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum from cutters after each use.

When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of the cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be sure when sharpening the end of a cutter to grind the clearance angle the same as originally ground.

PROPER CARE OFCOLLET

From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean your collet and collet nut. To do so, simply remove collet nut from collet and clean the dust and chips that have collected. Then return collet nut to its original position.
