suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack.
The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the green
light(s) continuing to blink but with the red light
continuously ON. Once the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature, the red light will turn OFF and the
charger will resume the charging procedure.
Electronic Protection System
Li‑Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically
turn off and the battery pack will need to be recharged.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature
is between 65 °F – 75 °F (18 ° C– 24 °C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or
above +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
4. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from
the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be
removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth
or soft non‑metallic brush. Do not use water or any
cleaning solutions.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can cause injury.

Bit Installation and Removal (Fig. E)
WARNING: Projectile hazard. Only use bits with
shanks that match the installed collet. Smaller
shank bits will not be secure and could become loose
during operation.
CAUTION: Never tighten the collet without first
installing a router bit in it. Tightening an empty
collet, even by hand, can damage the collet.
NOTICE: Do not use router bits with a cutting diameter
in excess of 1‑3/8" (34.9 mm) in this tool.
To Install the Bit
1. Remove the motor unit from the base unit. Refer to
Removing the Motor from the Fixed Base (if needed).
2. Clean and insert the round shank of the desired router bit
into the loosened collet as far as it will go and then pull it
out about 1/16" (1.6 mm).
3. Depress the spindle lock button
shaft in place while turning the collet nut
with the wrench provided.
NOTE: The unit is equipped with two spindle lock detents.
NOTE: Tighten collet nut securely to prevent the bit
from slipping.
To Remove the Bit
1. Remove the motor unit from the base unit (refer to
Removing the Motor from the Fixed Base/Removing the
Motor from the Plunge Base).
2. Depress the spindle lock button
spindle shaft in place while turning the collet nut
counterclockwise with the wrench provided.
Collets
NOTE: Never tighten the collet without first installing a
router bit in it. Tightening an empty collet, even by hand, can
damage the collet.
To change collet sizes, unscrew the collet assembly as
described above. Install the desired collet by reversing the
procedure. The collet and the collet nut are connected. Do
not attempt to remove the collet from the collet nut.
Locking Lever Adjustment (Fig. F)
Excessive force should not be used to clamp the locking
lever. Using excessive force may damage the base.
When the locking lever is clamped, the motor should not
move in the base.
Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp
without excessive force or if the motor moves in the base
after clamping.
To adjust the locking lever's clamping force:
1. Open the locking lever
2. Using the hex wrench provided, turn locking lever
