Under no circumstance is the Router base ever to be removed from the Router
in order to use bits that are too large to use with the base assembly attached.
Removal of the Router base, and using the Router “free hand” can lead to serious
bodily injury.
Never touch the bit, collet, or any other moving parts while the Router is in
operation.
Never lay the Router down until it has stopped rotating completely.
Hold the Router firmly when starting, as startup rotation creates significant
torque.
Never hold workpiece by hand. Secure the workpiece by clamping, or with other
holding devices.
Make sure the workpiece is free of nails and other obstacles. These can interfere with
the cutting process, and possibly cause damage and injury.
Hold the tool rmly while cutting. The action of the bit against the workpiece can cause it
to “kick out”, jumping rapidly away from the workpiece. This can be caused by an improper
type, or dull bit being used.
Do not handle the Router bit immediately after cutting. It may be very hot, potentially
causing burns or injury.
Avoid overloading the tool. If the speed drops abnormally, decrease the pressure on the
bit immediately. Do not apply excessive pressure to the router while cutting.
Always use sharpened bits. If the bit stops abruptly, or the bit becomes blocked, remove
the Router from the workpiece and shut it off.
Never start the Router while the bit is in contact with workpiece. Allow the tool to
reach its normal operating speed before applying the bit to the workpiece.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Router. These carry important information. If
unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye glasses, full face shield and
heavy-duty work gloves when using the Router. Using personal safety devices
reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are
available from Harbor Freight Tools.
Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure
there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of
obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas
near ammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this tool in a damp or
wet locations.
Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before
turning on the Router.
