CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE

CAUTION: Before connecting router to power source ALWAYS MAKE SURE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION. Also check 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 router make sure bit is clear of work piece and foreign objects. Also keep firm grip on router to resist starting torque.

The motor units for these routers can be used with either the base having two handles or the base with the switch-in-handle.

When using the base with two handles, as shown in Fig. 6, the motor is started and stopped by depressing the rocker switch (A) Fig. 6, into the ON or OFF position.

When using the base with the switch-in-handle as shown in Fig. 7, be sure the motor unit power cord (A) is plugged into the handle as in Fig. 7, and the switch (B) on the motor is set to the ON position. The starting and stopping of the motor is then controlled by depressing and releasing the trigger switch (C) in the handle of base.

On applications when it is desirable to keep the motor running without continually holding in the trigger switch (C) Fig. 7, simply depress the trigger

(C)into the handle and press in the switch locking the button on the side of the handle. While holding the button in, slowly release the trigger. To stop the motor, squeeze trigger into handle and release to disengage locking button.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to finished work always allow motor to come to a COMPLETE STOP before setting it down.
