Grizzly H3114 Router User Manual


 
-4- H3114 Router Table
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 cut-
ter.
2. STOCK LENGTH. Do not shape stock short-
er than 12 inches without special fixtures or
jigs. Where practical, shape 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. 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 cut-
ter on the end grain, it can fly out of your hand
like a bullet—potentially causing serious
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.
8. ALWAYS FEED AGAINST THE ROTA-
TION OF THE CUTTER.
9. DO NOT REMOVE THE RETRACTABLE
GUARD ON THE FENCE.
10. 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.
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. NEVER REACH BEHIND THE SPINNING
CUTTER.
13. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL SUPPLIED
WITH THE ROUTER INSTALLED IN THIS
TABLE
14. DO NOT REACH UNDER THE ROUTER
TABLE WHILE THE ROUTER IS
PLUGGED IN OR RUNNING.
