Safety instructions
Always make sure that work surface of the router table is clean and free
from dust, chips, and foreign particles that can interfere with the cut you
are going to make. The use of a wet/dry vac or vacuum equipment is
recommended.
The fence that comes with the router table has a dust collector to which
a wet/dry vac can be attached.
Check the function of the guard before each use. Remove all dust, chips,
and any other foreign particles that can affect its function.
Warning! Never put your fingers under the overhead guard when the
router is plugged into and electrical outlet or when the router bit is
rotating.
Always feed the workpiece against the rotation of the cutter or router bit.
Router bits are extremely sharp, be extra careful when handling and
using them.
Make sure that the router bits being used are sharp or have been
properly re-sharpened. This will permit fast, efficient, and safe routing.
Some routers, when positioned in an upside down position (such as on an
router table), will drop or fall out of the router base when the base
clamp is loosened to adjust height or depth of cut. Therefore, it is
extremely important to support the router from below when making
these adjustments or whenever the base clamp is loosened.
Always look under the router table at the router switch box when
turning the router ON or OFF. Do not touch anything but the switch box
when doing this. Never reach under the router table for any reason when
the router table is running, except to turn it OFF.
Warning! Before making any cut, make sure the router is turned OFF, the
router bit is not rotating, and the power cord is unplugged from the
electrical outlet. Then, make absolutely sure that the overhead guard
clears the router bit and the workpiece. A trial pass, with the router
turned OFF and the router bit not turning, is strongly recommended.
Warning! Never leave the router table unattended while the router is
running. Turn the router OFF before leaving the router table for any
reason.
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been
replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable
in the wall outlet.
Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the
machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
2
. When using a cable
reel always unwind the reel completely.
