WARNING: Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in direction
opposite than shown in Figure 8). 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.
Dust Collection and Extraction
TO SET THE ROUTER FOR DUST EXTRACTION:
1. If required, insert the dust extraction hose adapter into the dust
extraction port (Fig. 10).
2. Slip the end of any standard vacuum cleaner tube into the hose
adapter.
3. When using dust extraction, be sure that the vacuum cleaner is
out of the way and secure so that it will not tip over or interfere
with the router or workpiece. The vacuum hose and power
cord must also be positioned so that they don't interfere with
the router or workpiece. If the vacuum cleaner or vacuum hose
cannot be positioned properly, it should be removed.
4. Turn on vacuum cleaner before router.
5. Empty the vacuum cleaner as necessary.
NOTE: The router comes with a clear plastic removable guard over
the cutting area. Do not attempt to plunge cut through the plastic
guard. The guard is used to assist the dust collection.
Your router includes a dust extraction cap. Be sure it is in place over
the dust extraction port if you are not using a vacuum.
