EXTENSION

CORD

SELECTION

If

an

extension

cord

is

used,

make

sure

the

conductor

size

is

large

enough

to

prevent

excessive

voltage

drop

which

will

cause

loss

of

power

and

possible

motor

damage.

A

table

of

recommended

extension

cord

sizes

will

be

found

below.

This

table

is

based

on

limiting

line

voltage

drop

to

5

volts

(10

volts

for

230

volts)

at

150%

of

rated

amperes.

If

an

extension

cord

is

to

be

used

outdoors

it

must

be

marked

with

the

suffix

W-A

following

the

cord

type

designation.

For

example

—

SJTW-A

to

indicate

it

is

acceptable

for

outdoor

use.

CONTROL

(MODEL

ONLY)

The

microprocessor

based

speed

is

located

as

shown

in

Fig.

Five

operating

speeds

from

10,000

RPM

to

22,000

RPM,

in

3000

RPM

increments,

are

available

by

moving

the

Speed

Selector

Knob

A

(Fig.

When

the

Speed

Selector

Knob

is

moved

to

the

left,

the

cutter

speed

increases

and

when

moved

to

the

right,

the

speed

decreases.

The

location

of

the

Speed

Selector

Knob

is

marked

A,

B,

C,

D,

and

E

corresponding

to

the

following

speeds:

A

=

22,000

RPM,

B

=

19,000

RPM,

C

=

16,000

RPM,

D

=

13,000

RPM

and

E

=

10,000

RPM.

The

set

speed

will

appear

in

the

readout

display.

The

desired

speed

may

be

set

prior

to

turning

the

router

“ON”

or

any

time

while

the

router

is

running.

It

is

recommended

that

the

speed

be

set

prior

to

engaging

the

router

bit

into

work.

Should

it

be

necessary

to

change

the

speed

after

work

has

begun,

remove

router

clear

of

work,

maintain

a

firm

grip

on

the

router

and

adjust

speed

setting.

NOTE:

Model

518

Router

has

a

“Soft

feature

designed

to

minimize

torque.

This

feature

will

also

prevent

the

router

from

starting

(especially

in

the

E

or

10,000

RPM

setting)

if:

(1)

the

(2)

if

a

exists,

or

(3)

if

USING

THE

ROUTER

IMPORTANT:

Before

using

your

router,

consider

the

kind

and

total

amount

of

material

to

be

removed.

Depending

on

the

material,

if

may

be

necessary

to

make

more

than

one

cut

to

avoid

overloading

the

motor.

Before

beginning

the

cut

on

the

actual

workpiece,

it

is

advisable

to

make

a

sample

cut

on

a

piece

of

scrap

lumber.

This

will

show

exactly

how

the

cut

will

look

as

well

as

enable

you

to

check

dimensions.

CAUTION:

Always

be

sure

the

work

is

rigidly

clamped

or

otherwise

secured

before

making

a

cut.

9

Generally

speaking,

when

working

on

a

bench,

the

workpiece

should

be

held

on

the

bench

by

wood

clamps.

When

routing

edges,

the

router

should

be

held

firmly

down

and

against

the

work

by

both

guiding

knobs.

Since

the

cutter

rotates

clockwise

(when

viewing

router

from

top),

more

efficient

cutting

will

be

obtained

if

the

router

is

moved

from

left

to

right

as

you

stand

facing

the

work.

When

working

on

the

inside

of

a

templet,

move

router

in

clockwise

direction.

When

working

on

the

outside

of

a

templet,

move

the

router

in

the

counterclockwise

direction.

WARNING:

Avoid

“Climb-Cutting”

(cutting

in

direction

opposite

that

shown

in

Fig.

5),

“Climb-Cutting”

increases

the

chance

for

loss

of

control

resulting

in

possible

personal

injury.

When

“Climb-Cutting”

is

required

(backing

around

a

corner),

exercise

extreme

caution

to

maintain

control

of

router.

The

speed

and

depth

of

cut

will

depend

largely

on

the

type

of

material

being

worked

upon.

Keep

the

cutting

pressure

constant

but

do

not

crowd

the

router

so

the

motor

speed

slows

excessively.

If

may

be

necessary

on

exceptionally

hard

woods

or

problem

materials

to

make

more

than

one

pass

at

various

settings

to

get

the

desired

depth

of

cut.

When

making

cuts

on

all

four

edges

of

the

workpiece,

it

is

advisable

to

have

the

first

cut

on

the

end

of

the

piece

across

the

grain.

Thus,

if

chipping

of

wood

occurs

at

the

end

of

a

cut,

it

will

be

removed

when

making

the

next

cut

parallel

with

the

grain.
