ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN
PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOLS MAY
CONTACT HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
2. TIGHTEN COLLET NUT SECURELY to prevent the bit from slipping.
3. PROVIDE CLEARANCE under workpiece for router bit when through-
cutting.
4. CLEAR THE ROUTER BIT AREA before starting motor.
5. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP ON TOOL to resist starting torque.
6. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF BIT WHEN MOTOR IS RUNNING to prevent
personal injury.
7. LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the
tool down.
8. NEVER TOUCH ROUTER BITS AFTER USE. They may be extremely
hot.
9. AVOID “CLIMB-CUTTING”. (See section “USING THE TOOL” in this
manual). “Climb-cutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting
in possible personal injury.
10. DO NOT HAND-HOLD THE ROUTER IN AN UPSIDE-DOWN OR
HORIZONTAL POSITION. The motor can separate from the base if not
properly attached according to the instructions (See “ATTACHING THE
MOTOR TO THE ROUTER”) section.
11. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE TOXIC.
Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working
with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information
available from your material supplier.
