GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions 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

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) 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.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) 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.

b) 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.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) 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.

e) 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.

f) 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

a) 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.

b) 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.

c) 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 energising power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

d) 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.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g) 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.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) 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.

b) 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.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.

d) 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.

e) Maintain power tools. 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.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) 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.

5) SERVICE

a) 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.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable

platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead

to loss of control.

• DO NOT cut metal.

• Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. This will

enable better control of the tool.

• Maintain firm grip with both hands on router to resist starting torque.

• Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach under the workpiece for any reason.

Keep the router base firmly in contact with the workpiece when cutting. These precautions

will reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Never run the motor unit when it is not inserted in one of the router bases. The motor

is not designed to be handheld.

• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload motor.

• Check to see that the cord will not snag or impede the routing operation.

• Use sharp cutters. Dull cutters may cause the router to swerve or stall under pressure.

• Be sure that the motor has stopped completely before you lay the router down. If the

cutter head is still spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause injury or damage.

• Be sure that the router bit is clear of the workpiece before starting the motor. If the bit is

in contact with the workpiece when the motor starts it could make the router jump, causing

damage or injury.

• ALWAYS disconnect tool from power source before making adjustments or changing

bits.

• Keep hands clear of bit when motor is running to prevent personal injury.

• Never touch the bit immediately after use. It may be extremely hot.

• Provide clearance under workpiece for router bit when through-cutting.

• Tighten collet nut securely to prevent the bit from slipping.

• Never tighten collet nut without a bit.

• Do not use router bits with a diameter in excess of 1-3/8" (34.9mm) in this tool.

• Always use cutters with a shank diameter of 1/4" (6.4 mm) which corresponds to the size of

the collet in your tool.

• Always use cutters suitable for a speed of min. 27,000 min-

and marked accordingly.

• Not recommended for use in a router table.

• Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in direction opposite that shown in Figure 12).

Climb-cutting increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible injury.

When climb-cutting is required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution to

maintain control of router. Make smaller cuts and remove minimal material with each pass.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for

safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that

is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line

voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to

make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum

wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.

ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.

Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY

EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,

birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with

approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out

microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with

soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote

absorption of harmful chemicals.

Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause

serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved

respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face

and body.

Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI

S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product

may contribute to hearing loss.

• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their definitions

are as follows:

V ......................volts A ................amperes

Hz ....................hertz W ............... watts

min ..................minutes

.............alternating current

...............direct current .............alternating or direct current

....................Class I Construction

o ..............no load speed

....................(grounded) ...............earthing terminal

....................Class II Construction ..............safety alert symbol

....................(double insulated) BPM ..........beats per minute

…/min .............per minute RPM ..........revolutions per minute

OPM ................orbits per minute

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

MOTOR

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC means your tool will

operate on alternating current. As little as 10% lower voltage can cause loss of power and can

result in overheating. All PORTER-CABLE tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate,

check the power supply.

Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool

warning label. Accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. Accessory

ratings must always be above tool speed as shown on tool nameplate.

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power

source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making

repairs.

An accidental start-up can cause injury.
