Unfamiliarity with this manual could result
in serious personal injury. Read and
become familiar with the contents of this
manual, including all the safety warnings.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Operating this machinery may
require additional safety precautions spe
-
cific to your shop environment. Failure to
use reasonable caution while operating
this machine could result in serious per
-
sonal injury.
1. HAND POSITIONING. Never pass your
hands directly over or in front of the cutter.
As one hand approaches cutter, move it in
an arc motion away from the cutter to the
outfeed side and reposition that hand beyond
the cutter.
2. STOCK LENGTH. Do not rout stock shorter
than 12 inches without special fixtures or jigs.
Where practical, rout longer stock and cut to
size.
3. BLIND CUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. This
keeps the cutters on the underside of the
workpiece and provides a distance guard for
the operator.
4. TEST ROTATION. Always rotate the spindle
by hand, with the machine unplugged, to test
any new setup to ensure proper cutter clear
-
ance before starting the machine.
5. KEEP ANY UNUSED PORTION OF THE
CUTTER BELOW THE TABLE SURFACE.
6. DEPTH OF CUT. Never remove too much
material in one pass. Several light passes are
safer and give a cleaner finish.
7. IF AT ANYTIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC
-
ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE
INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING
THE ROUTER TABLE! Then contact our
service department or ask a qualified expert
how the operation should be performed.
8. SAFETY DEVICES. The use of push sticks
as safety devices in some applications is
smart; in others it can be quite dangerous.
If the push stick comes in contact with the
cutter on the end grain, it can fly out of your
hand like a bullet, potentially causing seri-
ous injury.
We recommend using some type of fixture,
jig, or hold-down device as a safer alterna
-
tive. Use a guard or other type of protective
device at all times.
9. ALWAYS FEED AGAINST THE ROTA-
TION OF THE CUTTER.
10. DO NOT REMOVE THE RETRACTABLE
GUARD ON THE FENCE.
11. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS
MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION
in people and animals, especially when
exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know
what type of wood dust you will be exposed
to, the possibility of a allergic reaction and
always wear an approved respirator.
12. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL SUPPLIED
WITH THE ROUTER TO BE INSTALLED
IN THIS TABLE.
13. DO NOT REACH UNDER THE ROUTER
TABLE WHILE THE ROUTER IS
PLUGGED IN OR RUNNING.
