CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE

CAUTION: Before connecting the tool to the power source, BE CERTAIN

THAT THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” or “O” POSITION.

Also check to see that the power circuit is the same as that shown on specification plate of the router.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE MOTOR

CAUTION: Before starting the tool, ensure that the bit is free of foreign objects. Also keep a firm grip on the tool to resist starting torque.

To start the tool, move the rocker switch (A) Fig. 5 to the “ON” or “-” position. To stop the tool, move the rocker switch to the “OFF” or “O” position.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to finished work, always allow the motor to come to a COM- PLETE STOP before putting it down.

USING THE ROUTER

IMPORTANT: Before using the tool, consider the workpiece. 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 action will show exactly how the cut will look, and will enable you to check dimensions.

CAUTION: Always secure the work to a stable surface prior to routing.

Generally, the workpiece should be secured to the bench by clamps. When routing edges, the router should be held firmly down and against the work by both guiding knobs.
