IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire 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.

  1. 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 flammable 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.

  2. 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. Unmodified 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.

  3. 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 influence 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 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 finger 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, clothing and gloves 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.

    • Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI‑approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH‑approved for the specific hazards in the work area.

    • Avoid unintentional starting.
      Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

    • Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.

    • When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.

    • Do not depress the spindle lock when starting or during operation.

    • Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.

    • Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

    • This product is not a toy.
      Keep it out of reach of children.

    • People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should:

    1. Avoid operating alone.
    2. Do not use with Trigger locked on.
    3. Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
    4. Properly ground power cord.
    5. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
      should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.
    • The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
  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.

  5. Service

    • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
    • Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information.
      If unreadable or missing, contact
      Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
  6. Safety instructions for routers

    • Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
      and could give the operator an electric shock.

    • 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.

    • Let bit cool before touching, changing or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically while in use, and can burn you.

    • Verify that the work surface has no hidden utility lines before cutting.

  7. Vibration Safety
    This tool vibrates during use.
    Repeated or long‑term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
    To reduce the risk of vibration‑related injury:

    • Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check‑ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
      If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

    • Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration‑related injury.

    • Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.

    • Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.

    • Include vibration‑free periods each day of work.

    • Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

    • To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Grounding

WARNING
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

  1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
  2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
  3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the preceding illustration.(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

  1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.
  2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

Extension Cords

  1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
  2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (See Table A.)
  3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)
  4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)
  5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.)
  6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W‑A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
  7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
  8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Dust Extraction Adapter

  1. If desired, attach a vacuum cleaner hose to the Dust Extraction Adapter.
  2. Be sure hose, vacuum cleaner, and power cord are out of the way and properly secured so they will not tip over or interfere with the Router or workpiece. If they cannot be positioned safely, they should not be used with the Router.
  3. Turn on vacuum before turning on Router.
  4. Empty vacuum cleaner as needed only after turning off and unplugging both the vacuum cleaner and Router.

Workpiece and Work Area Set Up

  1. Designate a work area that is clean and well‑lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
  2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
  3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.
  4. Make sure there are no metal objects in the wood which might make contact with the router bit.
  5. Hold Router handles firmly with both hands.
  6. Always hold the Router from the front, ensuring that the Chip Shield is between you and the bit.
  7. Keep hands away from rotating bit. Unplug the tool and wait until the bit stops rotating completely before making adjustments.
  8. Do not touch the bit right after cutting. It becomes very hot.
  9. Before cutting material, turn the Router on. Watch and feel for vibration which could indicate an improperly installed bit.
  10. Turn the Router off when not actually cutting. Do not leave running.

General Operating Instructions

Note: Use two or more passes for deep cuts, especially in the case of hardwood. Do not attempt to cut deeper than 5/8″ in a single pass. Turn Depth Stop Turret so that the first pass will be less than 5/8″ deep, then rotate Turret one step for each progressive pass, until final depth is achieved.

CAUTION! When first turning on the Router, grip the Handles firmly as the tool may try to twist from the strong initial torque.

Note : The Router bit should always be fed into  the stock from left to right so as to match the clockwise rotation of the router. When cutting outside edges, rotate the router counterclockwise. Rotate it clockwise when cutting inside edges.

Note : Make practice cuts at different speeds in scrap material until you are able to produce a smooth cut with no burnishing or burn marks.
Burn marks are caused by moving too slowly through the wood. Feeding the Router too quickly, or trying to remove too much material in a single pass creates a rough cut and can overload the motor.

  1. Set desired speed by turning Speed Adjuster.
    Use lower settings for large diameter bits and higher settings for small diameter bits.

  2. Place Router directly above the point you plan to cut. Verify that there are no obstructions in cutting path.

  3. Verify that the Plunge Lock Lever is loose.

  4. Make sure Trigger is in the off‑position, then plug in tool.

  5. Turn on Router. Router can be powered with or without Lock‑on Button engaged.

    • To power the Router so that power is on only while the Trigger Switch is depressed: depress and hold in the Trigger Switch. To stop the Router from this setting, release the Trigger Switch.
    • To power the Router continuously, without holding in any buttons or switches, depress and hold
      in the Trigger Switch, then push the Lock‑on Button. Release the Trigger Switch, then the Lock‑on Button. To stop the Router from this setting, press and release the Trigger Switch.
  6. Allow bit to come to full speed, slowly engage material. DO NOT force Router down into the material.

  7. When tool reaches its pre‑set depth, tighten Plunge Lock Lever.

  8. Once you have finished the cut, loosen Plunge Lock Lever and allow spring to lift Router directly out of the workpiece.

  9. When finished, raise Router so the bit is clear of material, then release Trigger Switch, or press and release Trigger Switch if Lock‑on Button was set. Do not set Router down until bit has come to a complete stop.

  10. When making more than one pass to achieve desired cutting depth, turn Depth Stop Turret to next lower level and repeat the cut. Repeat again as needed until cut is the desired depth.

  11. To prevent accidents, disconnect power supply after use. Clean, then store tool indoors out of children’s reach.
