Router maintenance
WARNING!
DO NOT
allow brake fluid, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. to
come into contact with plastic parts at any time. These substances can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.
1. When the work has been completed, clean the tool to allow smooth functioning of the tool over time.
2. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the tool.
3. Check the state of all electrical cables.
4. Keep the motor air openings free of oil, grease, and sawdust or woodchips, and store the tool in a
dry place.
5. Be certain that all moving parts are well lubricated, particularly after lengthy exposure to damp and/
or dirty conditions.
Replacing carbon brushes
(fig 19)
1. Unplug the router motor before inspecting or
replacing brushes.
2. Replace both carbon brushes when either has
less than 1/4" of carbon remaining, or if the
spring or wire is damaged or burned.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the black
plastic cap on each side of the router motor
(fig 19), and carefully remove the spring-
loaded brush assemblies. Keep brushes clean
and sliding freely in their guide channels.
NOTICE: To reinstall the same brushes, make sure the brushes go back in the same way they
came out. This will avoid a break-in period.
4. Insert new brush assemblies into the guide channels, with the carbon part going in first, and be
sure to fit the two metal “ears” into their slots in the channel (fig 19).
5. Remember to replace both end caps after inspecting or servicing the brushes. Tighten the caps
snugly, but do not over-tighten. The router should be allowed to “RUN IN” (run at no load without a
cutter bit) for 5 minutes before use to seat the new brushes properly.
WARNING!
For personal safety, always turn the switch off and unplug the router motor from the power
source before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
Cleaning
Sawdust accumulation may cause uneven movement, binding of the gear assembly and possible
damage to the router. Clean the dust and debris from the gear rack and plunger with compressed dry
air or brush. Wear a mask and proper eye protection when you clean the tool. Always ensure that the
gear rack mechanism has been cleaned and the plunger mechanism operates as intended before each
use.
WARNING!
ALWAYS turn the motor off and unplug the router from the power source before making any
adjustments or installing accessories. Failure to turn the motor off and unplug the router
could result in accidental starting, which can cause serious personal injury
WARNING!
Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
Lubrication
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the life
of the tool under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
