SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
1. 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.
2. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Disconnect tool from power source before making adjustments or
changing bits.
4. Tighten Collet nut securely to prevent the bit from slipping.
5. Use a clamp or some other device to hold the workpiece rigidly in position and
clear the path of the tool of obstructions.
6. Provide clearance under workpiece for router bit when through-cutting.
7. Check to see that the cord will not “hang up” during routing operation.
8. Clear the router bit area before starting motor.
9. Maintain firm grip on router to resist starting torque.
10. Keep hands clear of bit when motor is running to prevent personal injury.
11. Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload motor.
12. let the motor come to a complete stop before putting the tool down.
13. Never touch router bits after use. They may be extremely hot.
14. Never tighten collet nut without a bit.
15. Do not use router bits with a diameter in excess of 2-1/2" at RPM above
13,000. Router bits up to 3-1/2" in diameter can be used when speed
control is set for 13,000 RPM or less.
16. Always keep chip shield clean and in place.
17. Avoid “Climb-Cutting” (see “Using The Router” section in this manual).
“Climb-cutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible
personal injury.
18. Do not hand-hold the router in an upside-down or horizontal position.
The motor can separate from the base if not properly attached according to
the instructions.
19. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards.
Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.
20. Take precautions against dust inhalation. The dust generated by certain
woods and wood products can be injurious to your health. Always operate
machinery in well-ventilated areas, and provide for proper dust removal.
Use wood dust collection systems whenever possible. Also, use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Dust mask protection should
comply with MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator standards. Splinters, air-
borne debris, and dust can cause irritation, injury, and/or illness.
21. Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care
to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials.
Request and follow any safety information available from your material
supplier.
