Operating the Tool

Slide "ON/OFF" Switch

This tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch

located on the front of the motor housing.

TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" slide the switch

button to the right or "I" position.

TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF" slide the switch

button to the left or "0" position.

WARNING! Hold the tool with both hands

while starting the tool, since torque from the

motor can cause the tool to twist.

All Models Except Model 1609A

Inserting and Removing Bits

WARNING! Always disconnect tool from the

power source before installing bits, accesso-

ries, or making any adjustments.

If the base is installed, you may remove it to

completely expose the collet assembly. The

motor may be placed on its side or flat top

surface when changing bits.

Insert the small end of one of the wrenches

provided into slot 2 in the motor. The wrench

is designed to turn and lock the armature, but

it may be necessary to turn the armature shaft

from the collet end to position the shaft in the

wrench. The wrench MUST be fully inserted

to the line stamped on the wrench before loos-

ening or tightening the collet nut. Damage to

the armature shaft is possible if the wrench is

not fully inserted.

With the shaft firmly locked, turn collet nut 5

in a counterclockwise direction with the other

wrench provided. Insert the shank of the router

bit as far as it will go, back it out until the

cutters are 1/8" to 1/4" from the collet nut, and

firmly tighten the nut in a clockwise direction

to secure the bit. Remove both wrenches from

the tool and re-attach base or any accessories

before connecting tool to the power source.

Reverse the above procedure to remove the bit,

and if it does not slide out easily, tap the collet

nut sharply with the wrench to free it. NEVER

strike the bit.

Extension Cords

• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of

damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.

•If an extension cord is necessary, a cord

with adequate size conductors should be used

to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power

or overheating. The table below shows the

correct size to use, depending on cord length

and amperage rating on the tool’s nameplate.

If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always

use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.

Ampere Rating (shown on nameplate)

0- 2.1- 3.5- 5.1- 7.1- 12.1-

2.0 3.4 5.0 7.0 12.0 16.0

25' 18 18 18 18 16 14

50' 18 18 16 16 14 12

75' 18 18 16 14 12 10

100' 18 16 14 12 10

150' 16 14 12 12 Wire Gauge

Note: The smaller the gauge number, the larger

the wire is in the cord.

Double Insulated Tools

• Double Insulation is a design concept used

in electric power tools which eliminates the

need for the three wire grounded power cord

and grounded power supply system. It is a

recognized and approved system by

Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal

OSHA authorities.

IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double

insulation requires care and knowledge of the

system and should be performed only by a

qualified service technician. WHEN SERVICE

IS REQUIRED USE ONLY IDENTICAL RE-

PLACEMENT PARTS.

POLARIZED PLUGS: If your tool is equipped

with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in

the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not

fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the

proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric

shock do not change the plug in any way.

in a well ventilated area, and work with ap-

proved safety equipment, such as those dust

masks that are specially designed to filter out

microscopic particles.
