DOUBLE INSULATION
is a safety concept in 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 internal metal motor components
with
protecting insulation.

WARNING:

IMPORTANT - Servicing of a tool with double
insulation 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.

The double insulated system is
intended to protect the user from shock resulting
from a break in the tool's internal wiring. Observe
all normal safety precautions related to avoiding
electrical shock.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to operate this
tool until you have read thoroughly and
understand completely all instructions, safety
rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure
to comply can result in accidents involving
fire, electric shock, or serious personal
injury. Save operator's manual and review
frequently for continuing safe operation, and
instructing others who may use this tool.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN
GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. A
wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or
less in length. A cord exceeding 25 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
tool 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.
KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp
cutters minimize stalling and kickback.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTFING 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.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor
could ignite fumes.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and
if damaged, have repaired at your nearest
Sears Repair Center. Stay constantly aware of
cord location.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and replace if damaged.
KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE
FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products or any
strong solvents to clean your tool.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and
use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service

possible sedous personal injury.

Your electronic 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 beautiful and
precise.
3.5 HORSEPOWER

MOTOR

Your router has a powerful 3.5 horsepower motor with
sufficient power to handle the toughest routing jobs. The
motor also has extemally accessible brushes for ease of
servicing.
SOFT

START

The soft start feature builds motor RPM gradually to
minimize start-up torque. Pressing or releasing the "onoff" tdgger will turn your router on or off.
DEPTH

CONTROL

KNOB

A large depth control knob makes precise depth of cut
changes possible. It also is very helpful when making
depth of cut changes with your router mounted upside
down on a router table.

DEPTH STOP SYSTEM
The depth stop block located on the base of your router
provides three adjustable stops and three fixed stops for
quick depth of cut changes. A depth adjustment scale
makes quick adjustments to depth of cut changes possible. The spring loaded adjustment knob quick releases
stop bar by depressing center of knob.

1/4 IN. AND 1/2 IN. SHANK CAPACITY
Your router has a 1/2 in. diameter collet that accepts
cutters with 1/2 in. shanks. A 1/4 in. adapter has been
provided so that cutters with 1/4 in. shank bits can also be
used.
CHIP

SHIELD

A clear plastic see-through chip shield has been provided
on the base of your router for protection against flying
dust and chips. It is designed to fit the front opening of the
router base.
POSILOCK

SPINDLE

LOCK

A posilock spindle lock secures the spindle so that only
one wrench is needed to loosen collet nut and change
cutters. A spindle lock indicator light alerts you that
spindle is locked if you connect router to power supply
before unlocking spindle. Note: Your router will not run if
spindle is locked.

"LOCK-ON"

FEATURE"

Your router is equipped with a "lock-on" feature that is
convenient when continous operation for extended
periods of time is required.

LARGE HANDLES
Your router has large oversized handles for easy handling
and maintaining proper control when routing. The left
handle allows you to set cutter depth of cut when making
plunge cuts, while the right handle provides easy access
to the "on-off" trigger, "lock-on" button, and vadable speed
control selector. The handles have also been designed so
that they are comfortable and easy to grasp when
operating in different positions or at different angles.

VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH WITH
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
(Feedback

Switch)

Your router has advanced electronic features, designed to
assist you in getting the maximum use from your router.
By making proper speed selections, your router can be
adjusted to specfic routing needs. This eliminates much of
the guess work previously needed to perform a given job.
Both the experienced and inexperienced router users
benefit, obtaining professional like results with fewer job
errors.
The variable speed control allows the router speed to be
adjusted from 10,000 to 22,000 rpm. The variable speed
control selelctor is conveniently located inside the dght
handle near the operator's thumb or hand.
The electronic feature of your router introduces the
flexibility of adjusting the motor speed to required job
conditions. An electronic speed control module senses the
load applied to the motor, and increases or decreases
motor voltage to compensate for and maintain desired
RPM
Speed can be set according to the approximate cutter
diameter you will be using and to the hardness of the
material being cut. The best cuts are made when the
cutter is fed through material at the proper rate of feed.

ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION

Your router has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC
only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A voltage drop of more than 10
percent will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.

WARNING:
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects beingthrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We
recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses
with side shields, available at Sears Retail Stores. Always wear eye protection which Is
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS

PLUNGE
RELEASE
ACTUATOR

When routinga groove thatis too deep to safelycut in one pass,
itis bestto make the cut in several pasees. We recommendthat
severalpasses be made to reach deeper cuts.
Proper depth of cut depends on several factors: horeepower of router motor, type of cutter being used, and type
of wood being routed. A lightweight, low horsepower
router is designed for making shallow cuts. A router with
high horsepower rating can safely cut deeper. Small bits,
such as 1/4 in. shank veining bits with 1/16 in. cutting
diameters, are designed to remove only small amounts of
wood. Large bits, such as 1/2 in. shank straight-flute bits,
are made to remove larger amounts of wood in a single
pass. Cuts can be made deeper in soft woods, such as
white pine, than in tough hardwoods, like oak or maple.
Based upon these considerations, choose a depth of cut
that will not place excessive strain on router motor. If you
find that extra force is needed or that the motor speed
slows down considerably, turn off router and raise the bit.
Then, make the cut in two or more passes.

Determine which stop, adjustable or fixed, to use for
the desired depth of cut. A combination of the two stop
types can be used if required for a specific job. If using
the adjustable stops, the stop screw on each stop can
be adjusted to the desired height by loosening hex nut
with a 3/8 in. wrench, and turning it in or out with your
fingers. Secure stop screw in position by retightening
hex nut with wrench. Do not overtighten hex nut. Set
stops to desired heights, spreading the entire depth of
cut over the number of stops used.
Rotate depth stop block until the highest depth stop is
aligned with the stop bar.

STOP SYSTEM

See Figure 10.
The depth stop block located on the base of your router
makes it possible to make deep or heavy cuts in
successive passes by use of preset depth of cut changes.
Both fixed and adjustable stops are provided, making
depth of cut changes quick and easy. The depth stop
block, also known as a revolving turret, rotates on a ball
detent design in the router base.
A preset cutting depth is achieved by plunging router until
stop bar comes in contact with the stop screw or fixed
stop on depth stop block.
The fixed stops are approximately 1/8 in. apart. The
adjustable stops have screws that may be adjusted

CONTROLSELECTOR

See Figure 12.
Your router has a variable speed control selector designed
to allow operator control of speed and torque limits. You
can make speed selections best suited to the type of cut,
the material being cut, and the size of bit being used. The
variable speed control selector allows you to adjust router
speed from 10,000 to 22,000 rpm. There is a six step scale
lettered A to F on the vadable speed control selector. To
increase the speed and torque of your router, turn the
vadable speed control selector to a higher setting.Turn to a
lower setting to decrease speed and torque. Note: If you
do not want to use the vadable speed control selector, turn
to the highest possible setting, and the feature will not be
active.
The speed selection chart shown gives suggested speed
settings based on the diameter of the cutter and the type
of material being routed.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields when using
router. Failure to do so could result in dust,
shavings, chips, loose particles, or foreign objects
being thrown in your eyes causing possible
sedous injury. If operation is dusty, also wear a
face or dust mask.

SWITCH HANDLE

"LOCK-ON"
BUTTON
See Figure 13.
The "on-off" trigger of your muter is equipped with a "lockon" feature which is convenient when operating for extended pedods of time. The "look-on" button is located in
the upper portion of the "on-off"tdgger. It works similar to
a rocker switch. To lock on, fully depress "on-off" tdgger,
then depress 'lock-on" button in top of "on-o_ tdgger and
release. You will feel the "lock-on" button as it snaps "onoff' tdgger into lock position. To release the lock, depress
protruding portion of the 'lock-on" button.

WARNING:

Before connecting muter to

power supply source, always check to be sure
switch is not in "lock-on" position. Failure to do so
could result in accidental starting of your router
causing possible serious injury.

ROUTING
See Figure 14.
For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, your
router has two handles, one on each side of the router
base. When using your router hold it firmly with both
hands as shown in figure 14.
Before starting router, make sure cutter is securely
tightened in collst nut and that depth of cut is propedy set.
Turn router on and let motor build to its full speed, then
gradually plunge or feed cutter into workpiece. DO NOT let
the cutter contact workpiece before turning on muter and
allowing it to develop full speed.
Remain alert and watch what you are doing. DO NOT
operate muter when fatigued.

FEED DIRECTION
When routing, the cutter rotates clockwise. Therefore, you
should feed the router into the workpiece from left to dght.
When fed from left to dght, the rotation of the cutter pulls
the router against the workpiece. If fed in the opposite
direction, the rotation forces of the spinning bit will tend to
throw the router away from the workpiece. This could
cause loss of control of your router.

RATE OF FEED
IMPORTANT: The whole "secret" of professional muting
and edge shaping lies in making a careful set-up for the
cut to be made and in selecting the proper rate of feed.
The proper rate of feed depends on several factors: the
hardness and moisture content of the wood, the depth of

Fig. 14
cut, and the cutting diameter of the bit. When cutting
shallow grooves in soft woods such as pine, a faster rate
of feed can be used. When making deep cuts in hardwoods such as oak, a slower rate of feed will be required.
The best rate of feed is one that does not slow down the
router motor more than one-third of its no-load speed. If
the muter is fed too fast, it will take large chips out of the
wood and leave gouge marks. If the router is fed too slow,
it will scorch or burn the wood.

Page 13

PROPER

FEEDING

The right feed is neither too fast nor too slow. It is the rate
at which the bit is being advanced firmly and surely to
produce a continuous spiral of uniform chips -- without
hogging into the wood to make large individual 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 identical with grain cut in the same workpiece.

TOO FAST

There is no fixed rule. You will learn by experience from
practice and use. The best rate of feed is determined by
listening to the sound of the router motor and by feeling
the progress of each cut. If at all possible, always test a
cut on a scrap piece of the workpiece wood, beforehand.

SPEED

SELECTION

In general, if the material being cut is hard, the cutter size
is large, or the depth of cut is deep, then your router
should be run at slower speeds. When these situations
exist, turn the variable speed control selector until the
desired speed is reached. NOTE: Carbide cutters cut at
higher speeds than steel cutters and should be used when
cutting very hard materials.

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 movement. As a result, the bit must take bigger
bites as it revolves. "Bigger bites" mean bigger chips, and
a rougher finish. Bigger chips also require more power,
which could result in the router motor becoming overloaded.
Under extreme force-feeding 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 workpiece. See Figure 15.
Your Craftsman router is an extremely high-speed tool
(10,000 - 22,000 RPM no-load speed), and will make
clean, smooth cuts if 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
workpiece characteristics. The larger the bit or the deeper
the cut, the more slowly the router should be moved
forward. If the wood is very hard, knotty, gummy or damp,
the operation must be slowed still more.

TOO SLOW

Fig. 15

You can always detect "force feeding" by the sound of the
motor. Its high-pitched whine will sound lower and stronger
as it loses speed. Also, the strain of holding the tool will be
noticeably increased.

TOO SLOW FEEDING
It is also possible to spoil a cut by moving the router
forward too slowly. When it is advanced into the work too
slowly, 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, san even
overheat the bit so as to destroy its hardness.
In addition, it is more difficult to control a router when the
bit is 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 15.
"Too-slow feeding" can also cause your router to take off in
a wrong direction 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.

DEPTH

OF CUT

DEPTH
OF CUT

As previously mentioned, the depth of cut is important
because it affects the rate of feed which, in tum, affects
the quality of a cut (and, also, the possibility of damage to
your bit). A deep cut requires a slower feed than a shallow
one, and a too 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 1116 inch in diameter -- 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 rough cut will result -- and it may be very difficult to
guide and control the bit as desired. For these reasons, we
recommend that several passes be made to reach deeper
cuts. See Figure 16.

WIDTH OF CUT

Fig.16
2ND.

2ND. iASs_IS

To make deeper cuts it is therefore necessary to make as
many successive passes as required, Iowedng the bit for
each new pass. In order to save time, do all the cutting
necessary at one depth setting, before Iowedng the bit for
the next pass. This will also assure a uniform depth when
the final pass is completed. See Figure 17.

ROUTER FEED

OF FEED AND THRUST

See Figure 18.
The router motor and bit revolve in a clockwise direction.
This gives the tool a slight tendency to twist (in your
hands) in a counterclockwise direction, especially when
the motor revs up (as at starting).
Because of the extremely high speed of bit rotation dudng
a "proper feeding" operation, there is very little kickback to
contend with under normal conditions. However, should
the bit strike a knot, hard grain, foreign object, etc. that
would affect the normal 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, plan 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 cutin 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.

ROUTING
Whenever you are routing a groove, your travel should be
in a direction that places whatever guide you are using at
the right-hand side. In short, when the guide is positioned
as shown in the first part of Figure 19, tool travel should be
left to right and counterclockwise around curves. When the
guide is positioned as shown in the second part of Figure
19 tool travel should be dght to left and clockwise around
curves. If there is a choice, the first set-up is generally the

EDGEROUTING
Race muter on workpiece, making sure the muter bit does
not contact workpiece. Turn muter on and let motor build to
its full speed. Begin your cut, gradually feeding cutter into
workpiece.

WARNING:

Keep a firm grip on router with
both hands at all times. Failure to do so could
result in loss of control leading to possible serious
injury.

WARNING:
Never pull router out of work and

EDGING

WITH

PILOT

BITS

See Figure 20.
Rabbets and molded edges can be cut using piloted
cutters. The pilot extends below the cutter. Some pilots
are solid extensions of the cutter. Others are ball beadng
guides that are fastened to the end of the cutter. The pilots
allow the cutters to tum while the pilot follows the edge of
the workpiece.

GUIDE
WHOLE

Arbor-type bits with pilots are excellent for quick, easy,
edge shaping. They will follow workpiece edges that are
either straight or curved. The pilot prevents the bit from
making too deep a cut; and holding the pilot firmly in
contact with the workpiece edge throughout prevents the
cut from becoming too shallow.

,.
I-

EDGE

SHAPING

Fig. 20

Whenever the workpiece thickness together with the
desired depth of cut (as adjusted by router depth setting)
are such that only the top part of the edge is to be shaped
(leaving at least a 1/16 inch thick uncut portion at bottom),
the pilot can dde against the uncut portion, which will serve
to guide it. See Figure 20. 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 workpiece. This "guide"
board must have exactly the same contour -- straight or
curved -- as the workpiece edge. If it 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 20 (out from the
workpiece edge), the bit will make less than a full cut -which will alter the shape of the finished edge.
NOTE: If desired, any of the piloted bits can be used
without a pilot for edge shaping with guides, as preceding.
Also, the size (diameter) of the pilot that is 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).

When routing all the edges of a panel or board, rout the
end grain first. Any splintedng that occurs at the comers
will then be removed when routing the edge. Start each
side 1/4 in. away from the end. Feed the cutter into the
wood until the pilot contacts the uncut edge. Then, slowly
back the router to shape the comer. Next, move the router
forward to shape the rest of the edge. Be careful to keep
the pilot pressed against the uncut edge. Repeat this
procedure on each side of the panel. Figure 21 shows the
proper sequence of cuts to make when edge muting four
sides of a panel.

WARNING:
If desired depth of cut is greater
than can be safely cut in one pass, make cuts in two
or more passes.
When routing straight cuts across stock, clamp a
straightedge to the workpiece to use as a guide. Position
the straightedge parallel to the cutline and offset the
distance between the cutting edge of the cutter and the
edge of the router base. Hold the router base against the
straightedge and rout the groove.

UNCUTEDGE

When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the
cutter, clamp a straightedge on both sides of the cutting
line. Position both guides parallel to the desired cutline and
spaced equal distances from the desired edges of the
groove. Rout along one guide; then, reverse direction and
rout along the other guide. Clean out any remaining waste
in the center of the groove freehand.

FREEHAND ROUTING
See Figure 23.
When used freehand, your plunge router becomes a
flexible and versatile tool This flexibility makes it possible
to easily rout signs, relief sculptures, etc.
There are two basic techniques for freehand routing:
•

Routing letters, grooves, and pattems into wood.

•

Routing out the background, leaving the letters or
pattern raised above the surface as shown in figure 23.

When freehand routing, we suggest the folowlng:
•

Draw or layout the pattern on workpiece.

•

Choose the appropnate cutter. Note: A core box or Vgroove bit is often used for routing lettem and engraving
objects. Straight bits and ball mills are often used to
make relief carvings. Veining bits are used to carve
small, intricate details.

•

Rout the pattern in two or more passes. Make the first
pass at 25% of the desired depth of cut. This will
provide better control as well as being a quide for the
next pass.

Freehand routing Is an excellent example of how to
use the plunge routing feature of your router:
•

Choose the appropdate cutter, set desired depth of cut,
carefully check set-up, and secure workpiece.

•

Make a test cut in a scrap piece of wood from the same
workpiece if possible.

•

Depress plunge release actuator and raise cutter from
any preset depth of cut. This also permits raising cutter
inside router subbase.

•

Place router on workpiece inside pattern to be muted.

•

Grasp handles securely and depress "on-off" trigger to
start your router.

•

Let motor build to full speed, then gradually plunge
cutter into workpiece until stop bar comes into contact
with stop screw on depth stop block.

•

Squeeze plunge lock actuator to secure depth of cut
setting.

•

Begin routing out the pattern, continuing until a complete pass at this depth of cut has been made.

•

Several cuts that require repositioning of router may be
needed for a particular job. If this situation exists,
depress plunge release actuator and raise cutter inside
muter subbase after each cut, reposition router for next
cut, gradually plunge cutter into workpiece until stop bar
contacts stop screw, squeeze plunge lock actuator and
continue routing.

•

After all cuts have been made, depress plunge release
actuator, raise cutter inside relJter subbase, remove
router from workpiece, release "on-off" trigger, and
allow cutter to come to a complete stop.

damage,

GENERAL
Only the parts shown on parts list, page 25, are intended
to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
represent an important part of the double insulation system
and should be serviced only by a qualified Sears se_ce
technician.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic
pads. They contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken, or destroy plastic.

When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports
cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster, it has
been found that they are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and
grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently it is not recommended
that this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass
material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster.
During any use on these materials, it is extremely
important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing
with an air jet.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles, or
safety glasses with side shields dudng power tool
operation or when blowing dust if operation isdusty,
also wear a dust mask.

LUBRICATION
All of the beadngs in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.

PROPER

EXTENSION CORDS

CARE OF CUTTERS

Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping cutters
clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum
from cutters after each use.
When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of the
cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be sure
when sharpening the end of a cutter to gdnd the clearance
angle the same as odginally ground.

PROPER

CARE OF COLLET

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool
overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to
carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended
for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. When
working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for
outdoor use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.

CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from
any routing area and position the cord so that it
will not get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during
routing operation.

From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean your
collet and collet nut. To do so, simply remove collet/nut
assembly from motor shaft and clean the dust and chips
that have collected. Then return collet/nut assembly to its
original position.

ROUTER

TABLES

WARNING:

Do not use with router tables

that fail to conform to safe wood working
practices and offer proper guarding for the cutter.
Failure to comply can result in an accident
causing possible serious injury.

If mounting your router to a router table, use only the
three 5/16-18 UNC-2B tapped holes provided in the
router base. Use 5/16-18 UNC-2A flat head screws that
are 1-1/8 in. or 1-1/4 in. long when mounting router to a
router table. NOTE: Router subbase must be removed
in order to gain access to the 5/16-18UNC tapped
holes.

,a, WARNING:

DO not use the four 8-32 UNC-2B
subbase screws or the 8-32 UNC-2B tapped
subbase screw holes for mounting router to a
router table. These screws and screw holes will
not secure router to router table properly and
could result in an accident causing possible
serious injury.

The use of Craftsman routers in router tables offered
by other manufacturers
has not been investigated for
compliance with applicable safety standards.

,a, WARNING:

Do not use large router bits for
freehand routing. Use of large router bits when
freehand routing could cause loss of control or
create other hazardous conditions that couldcause
possible serious personal injury.When usingrouter
table, large router bits should be used for edging
only.

ENCHUFES POLARIZADOS. Para reducir el riesgo de
choque el6ctrico, el cargador tiene un enchufe polarizado
(una hoja de contacto es mbs ancha que la otra). Este
enchufe puede colocarse en un cordbn de extensibn en
una sola direcci6n solamente. Si el enchufe no calza bien
en el cord6n de extensibn, invierta el enchufe del cordbn
de extensi6n. Si todavia no calza, no use este cord6n de
extensibn, obtenga otro que acepte enchufes polarizados.

DE CORTE

Vet Figuras 6, 7 y 8.

BOTONDE
DESBLOQUEO
DELEMBOLO

Cuando se estd recortando una ranura que es demasiado profunda
para cortada de una sola pasada, es mejor hacer el corte en varias
pasadas. Recomendamos que se hagan varias pasadas para Ilegar
a codes mds profundos.
La profundidadadecuada del code depende de varios factores: la
potencia del motor del top[, el tipo de fresa que se estd usandoy el
tipo de madera que estd siendo recortada. Un tupi Iivianode baja
potancia est_ dise_ado para hacer codes poco profundos. Un tupf
con mucha potencia puede cortar m_s profundamentacon toda
seguddad. Las fresas peque_as tales como las fresas de acanalar
con vdstagos de 1/4 pulg. con didmetrosde corte de 1/16 pu[g. est_n
dise_ades para sacar solamenta pequeSas cantidades de madera.
Las fresas grandes tales como las fresas para ranuras rectas con
vdst_gos de 1/2 pulg., estdn hechas para sacar grandes cantidades
de madera de una sola pasada. Los codes pueden hacerse rods
profundosen maderas blandas tales como pino blanco, queen
maderas duras tales como roble o arce. Basdndose en estas
consideraciones seEeccioneuna profundidadde corte que no ponga
demasiado esfuerzo en el motor del tupf. Si considera que se
necesita mds fuerza o que la velocidad del motor est& d[sminuyendo
considerablemente, apague el tupi y reduzca la profundided del
code. Luego, haga el corte en dos o rods pasadas.
