_. WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other

part may create a hazard or cause product damage.

GENERAL

Only the parts shown on the parts list, 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 parts. 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.

_, WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.

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

operation or when blowing dust. If an operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury.

CU'i-rERS

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.

COLLET

From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean your coliet 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.

ADJUSTING LOCKING ARM TENSION

Over time and with repeated use, the locking arm may become loose. When this occurs, tighten the elastic stop nut slightly. The elastic stop nut should be loose enough so there is some play in the locking arm when it is in the open position. Make sure the motor housing does not move up or down when clamped.

NOTE: Do not over tighten the elastic stop nut. The locking arm shouldclamp tightly to secure the motor housing.

If the lockingarm becomes worn beyond adjustment, a repair kit is available. Please contact your service center to order the appropriate router locking arm repair

kit.

LUBRICATION
