EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
Length of Extension Cord | Wire Size (A.W.G.) |
Up to 50 | 14 |
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters WA on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your router has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
CAUTION:
Keep the cord away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will not be caught on lumber, tools, or other objects during cutting.
UNPACKING
Your router has been shipped completely assembled and ready for use. Inspect it carefully to make sure no breakage or damage has occurred during shipping. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact your nearest dealer to obtain replacement parts before attempting to operate router. A wrench, operator's manual, and warranty registration are also included.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting or electrical shock that could cause possible serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your router before connecting it to power supply. Router should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, lubricating, installing or removing cutters, cleaning, or when not in use.
WARNING:
If any parts are missing, do not operate your router until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
■Carefully lift router from the carton and place it on a level work surface.
■Do not discard the packing materials until you have carefully inspected the router, identified all parts, and satisfactorily operated your new router.
Note: If any parts are damaged or missing, do not attempt to plug in the power cord and turn the switch on until the damaged or missing parts are obtained and are installed correctly.
