2. BE SURE cord is free and will not “hang up” during routing operations.
3. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF CUTTER when starting motor to resist starting
torque.
4. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP on router when starting motor to resist starting
torque.
5. STAY ALERT and keep cutter clear of all foreign objects while motor is
running.
6. BE SURE motor has completely stopped before setting machine down
between operations.
7. DO NOT use router bits with a diameter in excess of 2
1
/
2" in this machine.
8. DO NOT use router hand-held in an upside-down or a horizontal position.
Motor can fall from base if not properly attached according to instructions.
(See page 6-7).
9. AVOID “CLIMB-CUTTING” (See USING THE ROUTER). “Climb-cutting”
increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible personal injury.
10. NEVER TOUCH router bits after use, as they may be extremely hot.
11. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE TOXIC.
Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with
these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from
your material supplier.
12. DO NOT USE router motor without the Router Base installed, loss of
control could result, causing personal injury, or damage to work.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
MOTOR
Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60
cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown
on the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed
for A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper
voltage and current rating.
CAUTION: Do not operate your tool on a current on which the
voltage is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C.
only on D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.
EXTENSION CORD SELECTION
If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to
prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible
motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in
this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts
for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix
W-A following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it
is acceptable for outdoor use.
