GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery

operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

or dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

Electrical safety

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. Unmodied plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock.

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.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

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.

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.

If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a

GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

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 inuence of drugs, alcohol

or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat or hearing protection used for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or battery

pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your nger on the

switch or energizing power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

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.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected

situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly

used. Use of dust collection can reduce

dust-related hazards.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become

complacent and ignore tool safety

principles. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of a second.

-4-

Power tool use and care

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.

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.

Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or remove the battery pack,

if detachable, from the power tool before

making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

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.

Maintain power tools and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the power

tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to

control.

Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, 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.

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,

clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow

for safe handling and control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

Recharge only with the charger specied by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of re

when used with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with specically

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and

re.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other

small metal objects, that can make a

connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or a re.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.

If contact accidentally occurs, ush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally

seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is

damaged or modied. Damaged or modied

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior

resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re

or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or

temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause

explosion.

Follow all charging instructions and do

not charge the battery pack or tool outside

the temperature range specied in the

instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specied range may

damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a

qualied repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Never service damaged battery packs.

Service of battery packs should only be

performed by the manufacturer or authorized

service providers.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR TRIM ROUTER

• Use clamps or another practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by your

hand or against the body leaves it unstable

and may lead to loss of control.

• Never operate cutter bits at speeds that are

higher than their maximum rated speed.

Cutter bits running faster than their rated

speed can break and y apart.

• Never use cutter bits with a diameter

exceeding the maximum diameter specied

in the technical data section.

• If cutting into existing walls or other blind

areas where electrical wiring may exist is

unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit

breakers feeding this worksite.

• Wear a dust mask specically designed

for protection against lead paint dust and

fumes and ensure that persons within or

entering the work area are also protected.

• Wear ear protection. Exposure to noise can

cause hearing loss.

• Always use safety glasses. Also use a

face or dust mask if the cutting operation is

dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact

resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

• Never lay the tool down until the motor has

come to a complete standstill. The spinning

cutter bit can grab the surface and pull the tool

out of your control.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING Detach the battery pack

from the tool before

performing any assembly or adjustments, or

changing accessories. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the tool

accidentally.

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT

(FIG. 16 AND 17)

1. Select and install the desired cutter bit

following the instructions in the section

“INSTALLING AND REMOVING BITS”.

2. Open the base lock lever.

3. Turn the depth adjustment ring until the bit

just touches the work piece. Turning the ring

clockwise raises the cutter bit (reduces the

cutting depth) while turning it counterclockwise

lowers the cutter bit (increases the cutting

depth).

4. Turn the depth adjustment scale clockwise until

the zero mark on the scale lines up with the

pointer on the depth adjustment ring (Fig. 16).

5. Turn the depth adjustment ring

counterclockwise until the pointer lines up

with desired depth of cut marking on the

depth adjustment scale (Fig. 17).

NOTE: Each mark on the depth adjustment

scale represents a depth change of 1/64”

(0.4 mm) and one full (360°) turn of the ring

changes the depth by 1/2” (12.7 mm).

6. Close the base lock lever.

NOTICE: Making a single deep cut is never

advisable. Smaller diameter cutter bits are

easily broken by too much lateral thrust and

torque. Larger cutter bits will cause a rough cut

and will be difcult to guide and control. For

these reasons, do not exceed 1/8” (3.2 mm)

cutting depth in a single pass.

Deep Cuts

• Determining the proper cutting depth (for each

pass) should always be based on the material,

the size and type of cutter bit, and the power

of the motor.

• Always make several progressively deeper

cuts. Start at one depth and then make several

passes, increasing the cutting depth each

time, until the desired depth is reached.

• Making a cut that is too deep will put stress on

the motor and the cutter bit, and it may burn

the workpiece and dull the cutter bit. It could

also “grab” too much of the workpiece and

result in loss of control of the router, causing a

serious accident.

• To be certain that the depth settings are

as desired, always make test cuts in scrap

material similar to the workpiece before

beginning the nal cut.

• Remember, knowing the right depth for each

cut comes with routing experience.

GENERAL OPERATIONS WITH THE TRIM

ROUTER

Making test cuts is essential with most routing

applications. A test cut yields information

about the set-up, the speed of the tool, the

cutting depth, and how the cutter bit reacts to

the workpiece. Much of routing is a trial-and-

error process of making various adjustments,

followed by test cuts, while learning all of the

tool’s operational abilities. To avoid ruining good

material, make test cuts on scrap material.

When operating the tool, always hold it rmly

with both hands to maintain proper control.

ROUTING WITH THE EDGE GUIDE

The edge guide can be used as an aid in

routing applications such as decorative edging,

straight-edge planning and trimming, grooving,

dadoing, and slotting.

Straight Routing (Fig. 20, 21, and 22)

1. Loosen the knob and slide the fence along

the arm of the edge guide. Once the desired

length is reached, tighten the knob (Fig. 20).

2. With the cutting depth set, place the tool on the

edge of the workpiece, making sure that the

cutter does not contact the workpiece (Fig. 21).

3. Turn the tool ON and allow it to reach its full

speed.

4. To begin the cut, gradually feed the cutter bit

into the edge of the workpiece.

5. Move the tool while keeping the edge guide

ush with the side of the workpiece.

6. When the cut is complete, turn the tool OFF

and allow the cutter bit to come to a complete

stop before removing it from the workpiece.

7. Remove the battery, place the tool upside-

down on the worktable, and inspect the

nished cut.

NOTE: Roundover bits with bearings are

excellent for shaping the edge of any workpiece

that is either straight or curved, if the curvature

is at least as great as the radius of the bit to be

used.

WARNING Always clamp the

workpiece securely and

keep a rm grip on the tool base with both

hands at all times. Failure to do so could result

in loss of control, causing possibly serious

personal injury.

WARNING Removing the cutter bit

from the workpiece while

it is still rotating could damage the
