GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warningS and inStructionS
for future reference
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool 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.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
• Metal cutting with router: If using router for metal cutting, clean out tool often. Metal dust
and chips often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electrical
shock or death.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. This will enable better control of the
tool.
• Maintain firm grip with both hands on router to resist starting torque.
• Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach under the workpiece for any reason. Keep the
router base firmly in contact with the workpiece when cutting. Hold the router only by the handles.
These precautions will reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Do not hand-hold the router in an upside-down or horizontal position. The motor can sepa-
rate from the base if not properly attached according to the instructions.
• Never run the motor unit when it is not inserted in one of the router bases. The motor is not
designed to be handheld.
• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload motor.
• Check to see that the cord will not snag or impede the routing operation.
• Use sharp cutters. Dull cutters may cause the router to swerve or stall under pressure.
• Be sure that the motor has stopped completely before you lay the router down. If the cutter
head is still spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause injury or damage.
• Be sure that the router bit is clear of the workpiece before starting the motor. If the bit is in
contact with the workpiece when the motor starts it could make the router jump, causing damage
or injury.
• ALWAYS disconnect tool from power source before making adjustments or changing bits.
• Keep hands clear of bit when motor is running to prevent personal injury.
• NEVER touch the bit immediately after use. It may be extremely hot.
• Provide clearance under workpiece for router bit when through-cutting.
• Tighten collet nut securely to prevent the bit from slipping.
• Never tighten collet nut without a bit.
• Do not use router bits with a diameter in excess of 2-1/8" in this tool.
• Avoid Climb-Cutting (cutting in direction opposite that shown in Fig. 11). Climb-Cutting
increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible injury. When “Climb-Cutting” is
required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain control of router. Make
smaller cuts and remove minimal material with each pass.
• Always keep chip shield (if possible) clean and in place.
EXTENSION CORD
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge
has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• leadfromlead-basedpaint.
• crystallinesilicafrombricksandcementandothermasonryproducts.
• arsenicandchromiumfromchemically-treatedlumber(CCA).
Your risk from these exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and perma-
nent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
ALWAYS wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) dur-
ing use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing
loss.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. (ANSI Z87.1) and (CAN/CSA Z94.3) Everyday eye-
glasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSIZ87.1eyeprotection(CAN/CSAZ94.3)
