EXTENSION CORDS  
SPEED AND WIRING  
Useonly3-wireextensioncordsthathave3-pronggrounding  
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the product’s plug.  
Whenusingapowerproductataconsiderabledistancefrom  
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to  
carry the current that the product 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.  
The no-load speed of this product depends on the router  
you are using. This speed is not constant and decreases  
under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring  
in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating.  
A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power  
product motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short dis-  
tance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can  
support one power product may not be able to support two  
or three products.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the  
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if  
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.  
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.  
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,  
products or other obstructions while you are working with  
a power product. Failure to do so can result in serious  
personal injury.  
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.  
This product is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet  
like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin  
like the one shown.

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged  
replace immediately. Never use product with a damaged  
cord since touching the damaged area could cause elec-  
trical shock resulting in serious injury.  
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
This product should be connected to a power supply that is  
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do  
not operate this product on direct current (DC). A substantial  
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will  
overheat. If the router table does not operate when plugged

OPERATION  
WARNING:  
WARNING:  
Do not allow familiarity with products to make you care-  
less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is  
sufficient to inflict serious injury.  
The router or router table should never be connected to  
a power supply when you are assembling parts, making  
adjustments, installing or removing cutters, cleaning, or  
when not in use. Disconnecting the router and router table  
will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious  
personal injury.  
WARNING:  
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side  
shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so  
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes  
resulting in possible serious injury.  
PERFORMING A ROUTING OPERATION  
Observe the following rules when using the router.  
Read the entire operator’s manual for the router and  
router table.  
WARNING:  
Plug the router table power cord into a power source.  
Always control the power to the router with the router  
table switch whenever the router is mounted on the  
table.  
Do not use any attachments or accessories not  
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The  
use of attachments or accessories not recommended  
can result in serious personal injury.  
Always plug the router into either of the router table  
switched outlets. Never plug a router table mounted  
router into another power source.  
APPLICATIONS  
Position the infeed and outfeed fence so they are close  
to the maximum diameter of the cutter, but not touching  
the cutter.  
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:  
Table mounted dado and mortise operations in wood and  
wood composition materials  
NOTE: The workpiece must always be tight against  
the fence, unless you are using a ball-bearing piloted  
cutter.  
Fence guided edging operations for cabinetry and  
picture framing on wood and wood composition  
materials  
Adjust the infeed fence to support the uncut workpiece  
and adjust the outfeed fence to support the workpiece  
after the cut. The “0” location on the fence scale denotes  
the center of the throat opening of the table.  
Piloted cutter operations using the starting pin for  
edging patterned surfaces on wood and wood  
composition materials  
Reconfirm that all router adjustments are securely locked  
WARNING:  
before connecting the router table to a power source.  
The direction of feed for the workpiece is always against  
the sharp edges of the cutter and therefore into the rota-  
tion of the cutter. Failure to heed this warning can result  
in serious personal injury.  
Feed the workpiece from right to left with the cutter in  
line with the fence opening.  
Make sure the router table switch is off when not in use.  
Remove the switch key to ensure the router table is off.  
WARNING:  
When operating the router with the router table, the  
router must only be plugged into and controlled by the  
router table switched outlet. To reduce the risk of serious  
personal injury, never connect the table mounted router  
into another power source.

Assembly in the Assembly section.)  
WARNING:  
If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be  
careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands or  
fingers. They will get burned because of the heat buildup  
from cutting. Always use a wrench.  
Remove the router/insert plate assembly. (See Installing  
Router/Insert Plate Assembly in the Assembly sec-  
tion.)  
Consult the router operator’s manual for proper cutter  
removal/installation procedure and replace cutter.

MAINTENANCE  
WARNING:  
WARNING:  
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.  
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause  
product damage.  
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-  
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact  
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or  
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal  
injury.  
WARNING:  
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spack-  
ling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear  
and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips  
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,  
commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend  
using this product for extended work on these types  
of materials. However, if you do work with any of these  
materials, it is extremely important to clean the product  
using compressed air.  
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side  
shields during power tool operation or when blowing  
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.  
GENERAL MAINTENANCE  
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most  
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of  
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use  
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:  
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains  
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these  
chemicals are:  
lead from lead-based paints,  
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and  
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.  
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your  
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such  
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
