manual abstract
Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. SERVICE Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR THE PLUNGE ROUTER Hold tool by the insulated gripping handles when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator. This Router has sharp, fast-moving parts. Misuse can cause severe injury. Follow the safety instructions. Under no circumstance is the Router base ever to be removed from the Router in order to use bits that are too large to use with the base assembly attached. Removal of the Router base, and using the Router “free hand” can lead to serious bodily injury. Never touch the bit, collet, or any other moving parts while the Router is in operation. Never lay the Router down until it has stopped rotating completely. Hold the Router firmly when starting, as startup rotation creates significant torque. Never hold workpiece by hand. Secure the workpiece by clamping, or with other holding devices. Make sure the workpiece is free of nails and other obstacles. These can interfere with the cutting process, and possibly cause damage and injury. Hold the tool firmly while cutting. The action of the bit against the workpiece can cause it to “kick out”, jumping rapidly away from the workpiece. This can be caused by an improper type, or dull bit being used. Do not handle the Router bit immediately after cutting. It may be very hot, potentially causing burns or injury. Avoid overloading the tool. If the speed drops abnormally, decrease the pressure on the bit immediately. Do not apply excessive pressure to the router while cutting. Always use sharpened bits. If the bit stops abruptly, or the bit becomes blocked, remove the Router from the workpiece and shut it off. Never start the Router while the bit is in contact with workpiece. Allow the tool to reach its normal operating speed before applying the bit to the workpiece. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Router. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye glasses, full face shield and heavy-duty work gloves when using the Router. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this tool in a damp or wet locations. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning on the Router. Do not force the Router. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed and capacity for which it was designed. Always unplug the Router from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. Never leave the Router unattended while running. Turn power off if you have to leave the Router. Before each use, check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Vibration during mixing may cause these to loosen. Keep extension cord off the ground and away from water. Always connect the Line Cord (or extension cord) to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected electrical outlet. If this Plunge Router is to be mounted on a router table, it must be an approved router table and must have all appropriate holding devices and safety shields. Never use a router t...
