SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this information. indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,could result in death or serious injury.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES continued 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 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 other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

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. 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.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION FOREWORD Porter-Cable routers are designed for continuous, rugged operation to handle the most demanding production applications. ASSEMBLY NOTE: This tool is shipped completely assembled. No assembly time or tools are required. SELECTING THE BIT The 891 series of routers accommodates bits with 1/4“ and 1/2“ diameter shanks. A collet is also available that will accommodate bits with 3/8“ diameter shanks.
INSTALLING THE MOTOR Disconnect the tool from the power source! 1. 2. 3. 4. Open the clamp (A) Fig. 1 and set the power unit in the base unit. Align the rack and pin (C) Fig. 1 of the power unit with the grooves in the base. Pull the lever (B) Fig. 1, and lower the motor into the base. Close the clamp (A). Reverse the procedure to remove. ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT Disconnect the tool from the power source! 1. 2. Open the clamp (A) Fig. 3. Pull the lever (B) and set the router C on the workpiece.
Disconnect the tool from the power source! 1. 2. 3. Loosen the sub-base mounting screws (C) Fig. 4 just enough to allow the sub-base (D) to move. Open the clamp (A) Fig. 4, and adjust the power unit so that the collet nut (B) engages the center hole in the sub-base (D). Allow the sub-base to center itself on the collet nut. Close the clamp (A). Tighten the sub-base mounting screws (C) Fig. 4 securely. 8931 PLUNGE BASE VACUUM HOSE A standard 1" vacuum hose (A) Fig.
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE BASE Disconnect the tool from the power source! 1. Loosen the depth rod locking knob (A) Fig. 7, and depth indicator knob (C) Fig. 7, allowing the depth rod (D) Fig. 7 to contact one of the turret stops (A) Fig. 8. Normally the deepest desired cut is set with the depth rod resting on the base casting (B) Fig. 7. The other three adjustable stops (A) Fig. 8 may be adjusted to any desired height.
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE LOCKING LEVER The plunge locking mechanism may be adjusted to compensate for wear, or to reposition lever (in locked position). To adjust: Disconnect the tool from the power source! 1. 2. 3. Lock the plunge locking lever (A) Fig. 10 by moving it to your right as far as it will go. Push in on the plunge locking lever (A) Fig. 10. Move the plunge locking lever (A) Fig. 10 to the desired location and allow it to spring back into position.
NOTE: Adjustment is correct when the plunge-locking lever can be locked into the free motion position (Fig. 13) and into the plunge-locked position (Fig. 14). B A A Fig. 13 5. Fig. 14 Move the plunge locking lever (A) Figs. 13 and 14 halfway between those two positions. Insert the hex wrench through the center of the plunge locking bolt (B) Fig. 13 into the adjustment screw. Turn clockwise to tighten.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL This router is equipped with a variable speed control (A) Fig. 17 with an infinite number of speeds between 10,000 and 23,000 RPM. Adjust the speed by turning the speed control knob (A). A Fig. 17 In low and medium speed operation, the speed control prevents the motor speed from decreasing. If you expect to hear a speed change and continue to load the motor, you could damage the motor by overheating. Reduce the depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to prevent tool damage.
The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on the workpiece. Keep the cutting pressure constant but do not crowd the router so that the motor speed slows excessively. On exceptionally hard woods or problem materials, more than one pass at various settings may be necessary to get the desired depth of cut. When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, make the first cut on the end of the piece across the grain.
3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Remove the screws (B) Fig. 22 and remove the sub-base (A). Align the holes of the GripVac™ handle to the holes of the router base (10) Fig. 20. Insert a hex screw (7) Fig. 20 through the handle into the hole (10). From inside the base housing, place a shoulder washer (8) and a hex nut (9) on the screw. Tighten the nut loosely. From inside the base housing, insert the second screw (7) Fig. 20 into the hole (11) and screw it into the threaded hole of the GripVac™ handle.
INSTALLING THE TEMPLATE GUIDES Disconnect the tool from the power source! insert the templet guide in the center hole of the router base and secure it in place with a locknut. Before connecting the router to the power source, install the bit, adjust the depth of cut, and rotate the router chuck by hand to ensure that the bit or collet do not contact the templet guide. USING A ROUTER ACCESSORY TABLE The router can be mounted to a router accessory table (not included).
