ADJUSTING
LOCKING
ARM TENSION
Over time and with repeated use, the locking arm may
become loose. When this occurs, tighten the elastic
stop nut slightly. The elastic stop nut should be loose
enough so there is some play in the locking arm when
it is in the open position. Make sure the motor housing
does not move up or down when clamped.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the elastic stop nut. The
locking arm should clamp tightly to secure the motor
housing.
If the locking arm becomes worn beyond adjustment,
a repair kit is available. Please contact your service
center to order the appropriate
router locking arm
repair kit.
LUBRICATRON
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication is required.
EXTENSmON
CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some Joss of
power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent
tool overheating,
use an extension cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended
for an extension cord 100 feet or Jess
in length. When working outdoors, use an extension
cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord's jacket
will be marked WA.
_jl_ CAUTmON: Keep extension cords
from the
away
cutting area and position the cord so that it will
not get caught on lumber, tools, etc, during
cutting operation.
_
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each
use. Jf damaged replace immediately. Never use
tool with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
Extension cords suitable for use with your router are
available at your nearest Sears Retail Store.
_
WARMNG:
Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during power
tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation
is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
