GENERAL
Only the parts shown on the parts list are in-
tended for repair or replacement by the cus-
tomer. All other parts represent an important

It has been found that electric tools are subject
to accelerated wear and possible premature fail-
ure when they are used to work on fiberglass
boats and sports cars, wallboard, spackling com-
pounds or plaster. The chips and grindings from
these materials are highly abrasive to electrical
tool parts. Consequently, it is not recommended
that this tool be used for extended work on any
fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling com-
pound, or plaster. During any use on these ma-
terials, it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
WARNING: always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during power
tool operations, or when blowing dust. If opera-
tion is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING: do not at any time allow brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plas-
tic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic, which may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
• When work has been completed, clean the
tool to allow smooth functioning of the tool
over time.
• Use clean, damp cloths to wipe the tool. .
Check the state of all electrical cables.
• Keep the router-motor air openings free from
oil, grease, and sawdust or wood chips, and
store the tool in a dry place.
• Be certain that all moving parts are well lu-
bricated, particularly after lengthy exposure to
damp and/or dirty conditions.
• For collet/nut care, see the Operation section
of this manual.
WARNING: for your safety, always turn off
the switch and unplug the router motor from
the power source before performing any main-
tenance or cleaning.
