SAFETY RULES FOR ROUTER
CAUTION: Cutting bits coast after router is switched off,
HOLD TOOL by insulated gripping surfaces (handles) when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make the exposed metal parts of
the tool "live" and shock the operator.
O

Maintain a firm grip on the router with both hands to resist starting torque,
NEVER attempt to use the router motor without first installing it in an
approved fixed base. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal
injury and damage to the router motor.
MAKE SURE the router motor does not move up or down when clamped
in the fixed base. if router motor is not securely clamped in base, ad-
justments will not be accurate.
DO NOT HAND-HOLD THE ROUTER IN AN UPSIDE DOWN OR HORI-
ZONTAL POSITION. The router motor can separate from the base if not
properly attached according to the instructions_
TIGHTEN COLLET/NUT securely to prevent the cutting bit from slipping.
if the cotlet/nut is not securely tightened, the cutting bit may detach during
use, causing serious personal injury.
NEVER tighten collet/nut without a cutting bit installed in the collet/nut.
USE CLAMPS or other practical ways to secure and support the work
piece to a stable platform and hold the work piece rigidly in position.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
O
O
NEVER hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your legs. It is
important to support and clamp the work piece properly in order to minimize
body exposure, bit binding, or loss of control.
ALWAYS keep chip shield clean and in place.
STAY ALERT and clear the Router cutting bit path of any obstructions
BEFORE starting the muter motor. Keep cutting area clear of all foreign
objects while muter motor is running.
CHECK TO SEE that the cord will not "hang up" during routing operation.
• MAKE SURE the cutting bit is not in contact with the work piece before
the switch is turned on. The bit must ALWAYS be running at full speed
before contacting the work piece.
= KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF CUTTING BIT when router motor is running to
prevent personal injury.
