INTRODUCTION
DOUBLE INSULATION is a concept In safety, tn electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the
usual three wire grounded power cord and grounded
supply system, Wherever there is electric current in
the tool there are two complete sets of insulation to
protect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation
IMPORTANT -- Servicing of a tool with double Im
sulation requires extreme care and knowledge
of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician,
For service
we suggest
you
return the tool to your nearest Sears Store for repair_
Always use original factory replacement
parts when
servicing.
GENERAL
Your router Is a versatile woodworking tool which will give you years of trouble-free performance It is
engineered with the professional In mind, but Its ease of operation allows the amateur to produce work which
is beautifu! and precise.

2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH
GROUNDED SURFACES. For example: Pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.
3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. [_on't use power tool in damp or wet tocatins
or expose to rain, Keep work area well lit.
6 KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe
distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
7. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tool should be stored in a dry, high or lockedup place -- out of the reach of children.
8. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty
toot. Don't use tool for purpose not intended -- for example -- Don't use a circular
saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing or jewelry to get caught in moving
parts. Rubber gloves and footwear are recommended when working outdoors, Also,
wear protective hair covering to contain long hair
11 USE SAFETY GLASSES with all tools Also face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty.
12. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle_ Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges
13 SECURE WORKr Use clamps or a vise to hold work It's safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate tool,
14 DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times Do not use on a
ladder or unstable support.
15 MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp at all times, and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories,
16 DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc, ell tools should be disconnected from power
supply_
17 REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on
18 AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in tools with finger on switch
Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
19 OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When too! is used outdoors, use only extension cords suitable for use outdoors Outdoor approved cords are marked with the
suffix W-A, for example -- SJTW-A or SJOW-A
20 KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp cutters minimize stalling and kickback,
21, KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA, Keep hands away from cutters Do not
reach underneath work while cutter is rotating, Do not attempt to remove material
while cutter is rotating
22 NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could

ROUTING
See Figure

For ease of operation and maintaining proper control
your router has two handles, one on each side of the
router base. When uelng your router ho_d tt firmly
with both hands as shown In figure 5 Turn router on
and let motor build to Its full speed, then gradually
feed cutter into workpieca. Rama(n alert and watch
what you are doing DO NOT operate router when
fatigued
Page 6
OPERATION
RATE.OF-FEED
TOO SLOW FEEDING
IMPORTANT:
The whole "secret"
of professional
routing and edge shaping I_es in making a careful
set-up for the cut to be made and in selecting the
proper rate of feed
it Is also possible to spoil a cut by moving the router
forward too slowly
When tt is advanced
Into the
work too s!owly a revolving bit does not dig Into new
wood fast enough to take a bite; instead, it simply
scrapes away sawdust-like
particles
Scraping produces heat, which can glaze, burn, or mar the cut -in extreme cases, can even overheat the b_t so as to
destroy its hardness
FORCE FEEDING
Clean, smooth routing
and edge shaping can be
done only when the bit Is revolving at a relatively
high speed and is taking very small bites to produce
tiny, cleanly severed chips If your router is forced to
move forward too fast, the RPM of the bit becomes
slower than normal in relation to its forward move.
ment As a result, the bit must take bigger bites as tt
revolves
"Bigger bites" mean btgger chips, and a
rougher
finish
Bigger chips
also require
more
power, which
could result
in the router
motor
becoming overloaded
Under extreme forcefeedtng
conditions
the relative
RPM of the bit can become so slow -- and the bites
it has to take so large -- that chips will be partially
knocked off (rather than fully cut off), with resulting
splintering
and gouging
of the workplece
See
Figure 6.
Your Craftsman
Router is an extremely high-speed
tool (25,000 rpm no-load speed), and wil! make clean,
smooth cuts tf allowed to run freely without
the
overload of a forced (too fast) feed. Three things that
cause "force feeding" are bit size, depth-of-cut,
and
workptece
characteristics
The larger the bit or the
deeper the cut, the more slowly the router can be
moved forward If the wood is very hard, knotty, gummy or damp, the operation
must be slowed still
more
You can always detect "force feeding" by the sound
of the motor Its hlgh-pitched
whine will sound lower
and stronger as _t loses speed, Also, the strain of
holding the tool will be noticeably Increased
In addition,
it is more difficult
to control a router
when the bit ts scraping
instead of cutting
With
practically no load on the motor the bit will be revolving at close to top rpm, and will have a much greater
than normal tendency to bounce off the sides of the
cut (especially,
if the wood has a pronounced
grain
with hard and soft areas) As a result, the cut produced may have rippled, instead of straight sides See
Figure 6
"Too-slow
feeding"
can also cause your router to
take off in a wrong direct{on from the intended line
of cut Always grasp and hold your router firmly with
both hands when routing.
You can detect "too-slow
feeding"
by the runaway,
too-highly
pitched sound of the motor;, or by feeling
the "wiggle"
of the bit in the cut
PROPER FEEDING
The right feed ts neither too fast nor too slow It Is
the rate at which the bit ts being advanced firmly and
surely to produce a continuous
spiral of uniform
chips -- wtthout hogging into the wood to make
large Indlvidua! chips or, on the other hand, to create
only sawdust
If you are making a small diameter,
shallow groove In soft, dry wood, the proper feed
may be about as fast as you can travel your router
along your guide line. On the other hand, if the bit Is
a large one, the cut is deep or the wood is hard to
cut, the proper feed may be a very slow one Then,
again, a cross-grain cut may require a slower pace
than an _dentlcal
with
grain cut
in the same
workpiece
There is no fixed rule. You

OPERATION
DEPTH OF CUT
As previously mentioned, the depth of cut is important because if affects the rate of feed which, in turn,
affects the quality of a cut (and, also, the possibility
of damage to your router motor and bit) A deep cut
requires a slower feed than a shallow one; and atoo
deep cut will cause you to slow the feed so much
that the bit Is no longer cutting, it is scraping,
instead
Making a deep cut is never advisable. The smaller
bits -- especially
those only 1/16 inch tn dlameteT
-- are easily broken off when subjected to too much
side thrust. A large enough bit may not be broken off,
but if the cut is too deep a tough cut will result -and it may be very difficult to guide arrd control the
bit as desired. For these reasons, we recommend
that you do not exceed 1/8 inch depth of cut in a
single pass, regardless of the bit size or the softness
or condition
of the workplece
See Figure
2ND PASS
•
2N_
To make deeper cuts It is therefore
necessary to
make as marry successive
passes as required, lowering the bit 1/8 inch for each new pass. In order to
save time, do all the cutting necessary at one depth
setting, before lowering
the bit for the next pass.
This will also assure a uniform depth when the final
pass is completed
See Figure 8
DIRECTION
GUIDE OUT'SIDE
The router motor and bit revolve in a o_ockw_se direc
tlon. This gives the tool a slight tendency to twist (in
your hands)
in a counterclockwise
direction,
especially when the motor revs up (as at startbrg)
ROTATION
FEED
THRUST
Because of the extremely high speed of bit rotation
during a "proper feeding" operation, there is very little kickback to contend with under normal conditions
However, should the bit strike a knot, hard
grain, foreigr_ object, etc that would affect the nor
ms] progress of the cutting action, there will be a
slight kickback -- sufficient
to spoil the trueness of
your cut if you are not prepared. Such a kickback is
always In the direction opposite to the direction
of
bit rotation
To guard against such a kickback, ptan your set-up
and direction
of feed so that you will always be
thrusting the tool -- to hold it against whatever you
are using to guide the cut -- in the same direction
that the leading edge of the bit is moving In short,
the thrust should be in a direction
that keeps the
sharp edges of the bit continuously
biting straight
into new (uncut) wood
Whenever
you are routing
a groove,
your travet
should be in a direction
that places whatever guide
you are using at the right-hand side in short, when

EDGING WITH THE PILOT BITS
The arbor-type bits with pilots are excellent for quick
easy, edge shaping of any workpiece edge that is
either straight or curved at a curvature as great or
greater than the radius of the bit to be used The pilot
prevents the bit from making too deep a cut; and
holding the pilot firmly in contact with the workptece
edge throughout
prevents fhe cut from becoming
too shallow
Whenever the workplece thickness together with the
desired depth of cut (as adjusted by router depth set.
ting) are such that only the tap part of the edge is to
be shaped (leaving at least a 1/16 in thick uncut portion at bottom), the pilot can ride against the uncut
portion, which will serve to guide it. See Figure !0.
However, if the workpiece is too thin or the bit set
too low so that there will be no uncut edge to ride the
pilot against, an extra board to act as a guide must
be placed under the workplace
This "guide" board
must have exactly the same contour -- straight or
curved -- as the workptece edge If tt is positioned
so that its edge is flush with the workpiece edge, the
bit will make a full cut (in as far as the bit radius) On
the other hand, if the guide is positioned as shown in
Figure 10 (out from the workpieca edge), the bit will
make less than a full cut -- which will alter the
shape of the finished edge
NOTE: Any of the piloted bits can be used without a
pilot for edge shaping with guides, as preceding The
size (diameter) of the pilot that {s used determines
the maximum cut width that can be made with the
pilot against the workpiece edge (the small pilot exposes all of the bit; the large one reduces this
amount by 1/16 inch)
