RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures 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.
Q Check damaged parts. Before using the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be care-
fully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for align-
ment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, mounting and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged must be properly repaired or replaced.
Q Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction or rotation of the blade or cutter
only.
Q Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not reach
underneath the table or in the cutting path with your
hands or fingers at any time while the tool is con-
nected to a power source.
Q Do not use awkward hand positions.
Q Use overhead guard when adjustable fence is not
in place.
Q Firmly clamp or bolt the router table to a work
surface so that the router table surface is approxi-
mately hip height.
Q Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the
power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
Q Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber be-
fore routing. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Q Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool
while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Q Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this
