INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK

TO INSTALL THE BATTERY PACK: Align the rails on the battery pack with the slots (A) Fig. 6 on the tool. Push the battery pack until it locks in place.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE MOTOR

Before starting the router, make sure that the bit is clear of the workpiece and foreign objects. Also keep a firm grip on the router to resist starting torque.

Start and stop the motor by moving the switch (A) Fig. 7 to “ON” or “OFF” position.

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

When through-cutting, provide enough clearance under the workpiece for the router bit.
