ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of the plug when
installing or removing the plug from the outlet.
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
•
Double insulation
eliminates the need for a three-wire grounded power
cord and grounded power-supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double-
insulated) tools.
•
T
his router motor is double insulated.
WARNING: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
• Before plugging in the tool, be sure that the outlet voltage supplied is within
the voltage marked on the tool’s data plate. Do not use “AC only” rated tools
with a DC power supply.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools
in wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Inspect tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at a
Craftsman Service Center. Be sure to remain aware of the cord’s location and
keep it well away from the moving router.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
EXTENSION CORDS
• Use a proper extension cord. Only use cords listed by Underwriters
Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in a loss of power and overheating of the tool. For this tool, an AWG
(American Wire Gauge) size of at least 14-gauge is recommended for an
extension cord of 25-ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for a 50-ft.-long cord.
