GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
2. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Disconnect tool from power source before making adjustments or changing bits.
4. Tighten Collet nut securely to prevent the bit from slipping.
5. Provide clearance under workpiece for router bit when through-cutting.
6. Check to see that the cord will not “hang up” during routing operation.
7. Clear the router bit area before starting motor.
8. Maintain firm grip on router to resist starting torque.
9. Keep hands clear of bit when motor is running to prevent personal injury.
10. Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload motor.
11. Let the motor come to a complete stop before putting the tool down.
12. Never touch router bits after use. They may be extremely hot.
13. Never tighten collet nut without a bit.
14. Do not use router bits with a diameter in excess of 2-1/2" at RPM above 13,000.
Router bits up to 3-1/2" in diameter can be used when speed control is set for 13,000
RPM or less.
15. Always keep chip shield clean and in place.
16. Avoid “Climb-Cutting” (see “Using The Router” section in this manual). “Climb-
cutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible personal injury.
17. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1
standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.
18.
Use of this tool can generate and disburse dust or
other airborne particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust
and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always
operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis
(a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and
avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or
eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material.
Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and
water.

MOTOR
Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60
cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on
the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for
A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltage
and current rating.
Do not operate your tool on a current on which the
voltage is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C.
only on D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.
EXTENSION CORD SELECTION
If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to
prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible
motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in
this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts
for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-
A or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it
is acceptable for outdoor use.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE MOTOR
Before starting the tool, clear the work area of all foreign
objects. Also keep a firm grip on the tool to resist starting
torque.
Two switches (A and B) Fig. 19 turn this tool “ON” and “OFF”. Additionally,
the upper switch (A) will automatically turn the tool “OFF” if the tool is placed
upside down on a surface.
The lower switch (B) Fig. 19 is convenient for the operator to turn the tool
“ON” or “OFF” with the thumb of the left hand while holding the tool (Fig.
16).
To avoid injury and/or damage to finished work, always allow
the motor to come to a COMPLETE STOP before putting the
tool down.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
This router is equipped with a variable
speed control (A) Fig. 21 with an
infinite number of speeds between
10,000 and 23,000 RPM.
The speed is adjusted by turning the
speed control knob (A).
Fig. 21
In low and medium speed operation, the speed control
prevents the motor speed from decreasing. If you expect
to hear a speed change, and continue to load the motor,
you could damage the motor by overheating. Reduce the
depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to prevent tool
damage.

USING THE TOOL
IMPORTANT: Before using the tool, consider the kind and amount of
material to be removed. 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 will allow you to see the
finished cut and to check dimensions.
Always be sure the work is rigidly clamped or otherwise
secured before making a cut.
Generally speaking, when working on a bench, hold the workpiece on the
bench with wood clamps. When routing the edges, hold the router firmly
down and against the work with both guiding handles.
Since the cutter rotates clockwise (when viewing router from top), move the
router from left to right as you stand facing the work. When working on the
inside of a templet, move the router in a clockwise direction.
When working on the outside of a templet, move the router in a counter-
clockwise direction.
Avoid “Climb-Cutting” (cutting in direction opposite that
shown in Fig. 22). “Climb-Cutting” increases the chance for
loss of control resulting in possible injury. When “Climb-
Cutting” is required (backing around a corner), exercise
extreme caution to maintain control of router. Make smaller
cuts and remove minimal material with each pass.
The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on the workpiece. Keep the
cutting pressure constant but do not crowd the router so the motor speed
slows excessively. On exceptionally hard woods or problem materials, more
than one pass at various settings may be necessary to get the desired depth
of cut.
When making cuts on all four edges of
the workpiece, make the first cut on the
end of the piece across the grain. If
chipping of wood occurs at the end of
a cut, it will be removed when making
the next cut parallel with the grain.
Periodically wipe the columns clean
with a dry cloth. Clean the rack and
gear on the fixed base with a soft
bristle brush. Do not lubricate either the
Fig. 22
columns or the rack and gear.
THE EDGE GUIDE
An edge guide (Fig. 23) is available as
an accessory to aid in routing
operations such as straight edge
planing, parallel grooving, dado, or
slotting operations.
