Using personal safety devices and working in
safe environment reduces risk of injury.
A
fter changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened.
Loose adjustment
device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss
of control, loose rotating components will be
violently thrown.
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 cutter.
The direction of feeding the bit into the
material is very important and it relates to
the direction of bit rotation. When viewing
the tool from the top, the bit rotates
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.
