Craftsman 315.175341 - Manual (Page 19)

MAINTENANCE
^ WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
GENERAL
Only the parts shown on the parts list, are intended to
be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
represent an important part of the double insulation
system and should be serviced only by a qualified
Sears service technician.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure
because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly
abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, we do not recommend using this toot for
extended work on these types of materials. However, if
you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely
important to clean the tool using compressed air.
^ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields during power tool
operation or when blowing dust, if an operation is
dusty, also wear a dust mask. Failure to do so
could result in possible serious injury.
CUTTERS
Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping
cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch
and gum from cutters after each use.
When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of the
cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be sure
when sharpening the end of a cutter to grind the
clearance angle the same as originally ground.
COLLET
From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean
your collet and collet nut. To do so, simply remove
collet nut from collet and clean the dust and chips that
have collected. Then return collet nut to its original
position.
ADJUSTING LOCKING ARM TENSION
Over time and with repeated use, the locking arm may
become loose. When this occurs, tighten the elastic
stop nut slightly. The elastic stop nut should be loose
enough so there is some play in the locking arm when it
is in the open position. Make sure the motor housing
does not move up or down when clamped.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the elastic stop nut. The
locking arm should clamp tightly to secure the motor
housing.
If the locking arm becomes worn beyond adjustment, a
repair kit is available. Please contact your service
center to order the appropriate router locking arm repair
kit.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication is required.
