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 jewellery. 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. 21. 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.
OPERATION 1001 BASE INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BIT B A Fig. 1 Fig. 2 DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. To remove motor unit from base unit: (a) Open the clamp (A) Fig. 1. (b) While holding base, turn power unit COUNTER-CLOCKWISE until the lower pin (B) in the motor housing is disengaged from groove in base. (c) Lift power unit free from base unit. Clean and insert the shank of the bit into the collet until the shank bottoms, then back it out approximately 1/16".
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Open the clamp (A) Fig. D F 3. B C Hold the base (E) and turn the power unit (F) Fig. 3 COUNTER-CLOCKE WISE until the tip of the A bit is above the bottom of the base. Fig. 3 Set the tool on a flat surface. Turn the power unit (F) Fig. 3 CLOCKWISE until bit touches the work. Close the clamp (A) Fig. 3. Rotate the depth adjusting ring (B) Fig. 3 until the zero-line (C) is opposite the index line (D) on the housing.
6931 BASE INSTALLING THE MOTOR A B B C ] 1 /2" A D Fig. 5A Fig. 5B DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. 2. 3. Support motor clamp (Fig. 5A) and loosen motor clamp screw approximately 1/2" with the hex wrench (furnished). Insert motor unit into the base with switch positioned at front of left handle, and align the four pins (A) Fig. 6 in the motor case with the slots (B) Fig. 6 in the base. Seat the motor in the base and tighten the motor clamp screw. A B Fig.
1. 2. 3. 4. Stand router upside down on its motor cap (Fig. 8). Clean and insert shank of bit into collet until the shank bottoms. Then back it out approximately 1/16". Place one wrench on flats on chuck and one wrench on collet nut (Fig. 8). Tighten firmly. To remove the bit, reverse the procedure. D A Fig. 7 Fig. 8 Do not allow the wrenches to contact the columns (A) Fig. 9. Columns could be damaged, restricting the plunge action. Avoid possible damage to collet. Never tighten collet without a bit.
C C D A A E B B Fig. 10 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Fig. 11 Release plunge mechanism by pulling the locking lever (B) Fig. 9 to the left. Lower the plunge mechanism until the router bit touches the work surface. Release the lever and push it to the right to lock the mechanism in this position. Tighten depth-rod locking knob. Position depth indicator (C) Fig. 10 at the “0” position and tighten the knob.
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE LOCKING LEVER The plunge-locking mechanism may be adjusted to reposition lever (in locked position), or to compensate for wear. To adjust: A Fig. 15 Fig. 14 C B A A B Fig. 17 Fig. 16 DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. 2. 3. 4. While holding lever in upright position (Fig. 14), remove retaining screw. Continue to hold lever through remaining steps. Insert 1/8" hex wrench (A) Fig. 15 (not furnished) into adjustment screw and turn counter-clockwise approximately 1/2 turn.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Loosen the clamp screw (A) Fig. 18. Hold the base (E) and turn the motor unit (F) Fig. 18 COUNTER-CLOCKF WISE until the tip of the bit is above B the bottom of the base. D Set the router on a flat surface. C Turn the motor unit (F) Fig. 18 CLOCKWISE until bit touches the A wood surface. Tighten the clamp screw (A) Fig. 18. Rotate the depth adjusting ring (B) E Fig. 18, until the zero-line (C) is Fig.
4. 5. 6. Place one wrench on the flats of the chuck with the opposite end of the the wrench resting on the bench to your left (Fig. 18C). Place the other wrench on the collet and tighten COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (Fig. 20). Tighten firmly. To remove the bit, reverse the procedure. Avoid possible damage to collet. Never tighten collet without a bit. CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE Before connecting tool to power source, CHECK TO SEE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION.
To avoid injury and/or damage to finished work, always allow motor to come to a COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool down. SOFT START The Model 690LRVS has a “Soft Start” feature designed to minimize startup reaction torque. VARIABLE STARTING SPEED CONTROL (690LRVS) This router is equipped with a variable speed control (A) Fig. 23 with an infinite number of speeds between 10,000 and 27,000 RPM.
When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, make the first cut on the end of the piece across the grain. If chipping of wood occurs at the end of a cut, it will be removed when making the next cut parallel with the grain. Periodically wipe columns clean with a dry cloth. DO NOT lubricate the columns. Fig. 24 THE EDGE GUIDE An edge guide is available as an accessory to aid in routing operations such as straight edge planing, parallel grooving, dado, or slotting operations.
MAINTENANCE KEEP TOOL CLEAN Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air. FAILURE TO START Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet.
