RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Safe operation of this power tool requires that you read and
understand this operator's manual and all labels affixed to
the tool. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying
alert, and knowing how your router works.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■ KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's
manual carefully. Learn the applications and limitations
as well as specific potential hazards related to this tool.
■ GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing
body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
■ KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
■ REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
■ KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
work benches invite accidents.
■ DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not
use power tools near gasoline or other flammable liquids,
in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lighted.
■ KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors
should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord.
■ MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
■ DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
■ USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed. Don't use tool
for purpose not intended; for example, a circular saw
should never be used for cutting tree limbs or logs.
■ USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in
length. A cord exceeding 50 feet is not recommended. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
■ WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
neckties, or jewelry that can get caught in tool's moving
parts and cause personal injury. Nonslip footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair and keep it from being
drawn into nearby air vents.
■ STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a high, dry place or locked-up and out of the
reach of children.
■ SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It is safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
■ DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
■ MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
■ DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, bits, cutters,
etc., all tools should be disconnected from power supply.
■ AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-
in tools with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in.
■ USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
■ CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless indicated elsewhere in this
instruction manual.
■ NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Disconnect all tools when not in
use, before servicing, or when changing attachments,
wheels, etc.
■ DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by the cord or
yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
■ PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
■ PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation.
WARNING: Cutter coasts after turn off.
■ ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
■ OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is
used outdoors, use only extension cords suitable for
use outdoors. Outdoor approved cords are marked with
the suffix W-A. For example: SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
■ KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp cutters
minimize stalling and kickback.
■ KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep
hands away from cutters. Do not reach underneath work
while cutter is rotating. Do not attempt to remove material
while cutter is rotating.
■ NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally contacted.
