clockwise. Feed direction of cutting must
be counter-clockwise.
NOTE: inside and
outside cuts will require different feed
direction, refer to section on feeding the
router. Feeding the tool in the wrong
direction, causes the cutting edge of the bit
to climb out of the work and pull the tool in
the direction of this feed.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care.
Damaged
bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the tool, possibly causing
the bit to break.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use.
After use the bit is too hot to
be touched by bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the motor
has come to a complete standstill.
The
spinning bit can grab the surface and pull the
tool out of your control.
Never use bits that have a cutting
diameter greater than the opening in the
base.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

materials on or near the table such that it is
necessary to stand on the table or its stand
to reach them.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care.
Damaged
bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the workpiece, possibly
causing the bit to break.
Match the appropriate bit and its speed to
your application. Do not use bits that
have a cutting diameter that exceeds the
capacity of the tool.
Overloading the tool
can lead to personal injury or tool failure.
Never start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the material.
The bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the workpiece.
Router bits are intended for wood, wood
products and plastic only. Be sure the
workpiece does not contain nails, etc.
before routing.
Cutting a nail or the like will
cause the carbides to be dislodged, fly
toward the operator side, and possibly strike
you or bystanders.
