WARNING:
If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be
careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands or
fingers. They will get burned because of the heat buildup
from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
spindle lock.
WARNING:
Do not use cutters with undersized shanks. Undersized
shanks will not tighten properly and could be thrown from
the tool causing injury.
WARNING:
Before connecting your router to a power supply, always
check to be sure the switch is not in "lock-on" position.
Failure to do so could result in accidental starting of your
router resulting in possible serious injury.
