down into the workpiece. (DO NOT JAM THE ROUTER
DOWN). When the tool reaches the pre-set depth, tighten
the plunge lock. When you have finished routing, loosen the
plunge lock and let the spring lift the router directly out of
the workpiece.
NoTE: Always feed the router opposite to the direction in
which the cutter is rotating.
Direction of Feed (Fig. G, H)
Figures G and H show proper direction of feed for some
typical cuts.
1. Mold the outside edge of a piece of stock by mold the
end grain, left to right.
2. Do the straight grain side moving left to right3
3. Finish the other end grain side,
4. Do the remaining straight grain edge.
5. The direction of feed is important in router usage. Be
sure the cutter is rotating into the stock by moving left
to right on outside edges and clockwise on inside cuts.

WARNING: Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in direction
opposite than shown in Figure G). Climb-cutting
increases the chance for loss of control resulting
in possible injury. When climb-cutting is required
(backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution
to maintain control of router. Make smaller cuts and
remove minimal material with each pass.
Dust Collection and Extraction
To Set the Router for Dust Extraction:
1. If required, insert the dust extraction hose adapter
into the dust extraction port
2. Slip the end of any standard vacuum cleaner tube into
the hose adapter.
3. When using dust extraction, be sure that the vacuum
cleaner is out of the way and secure so that it will not
tip over or interfere with the router or workpiece. The
vacuum hose and power cord must also be positioned

a vacuum.

MAINTENANCE

.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Your D WALT power tool has been designed to operate
e
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning.
Lubrication

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the
risk of eye injury, always wear approved eye protection
when performing this.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
Use only a DRY cloth to wipe the plunge rods. These rods
require no lubrication. Lubricants attract dust, reducing the
performance of your tool.
