SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn its applications
and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards.
GROUND ALL TOOLS (UNLESS DOUBLE INSULATED)
If tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and a
3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type
receptacle. The green conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. NEVER connect the green wire to a live
terminal.
KEEP AWAY FROM HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes, flammable
liquids, or combustibles.
PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST PERSONAL INJURY
DO NOT operate any tool while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
DRESS FOR SAFETY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry, as
these items can get caught and draw you into moving parts.
ALWAYS wear non-slip footwear. Tie back long hair. Roll
long sleeves above the elbow.
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
Wear safety goggles (must comply with ANSI Z87.1) at ALL
times. Also, use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty, and use ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING
Make sure all switches are in "OFF" position before
plugging in.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is accidentally contacted. DO NOT store
materials above or near the tool making it necessary to
stand on the tool to reach them.
PROTECT AND USE SUITABLE CORDS
NEVER carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Protect cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
For outdoor operation, use extension cords intended for
outdoor use.
AVOID A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT use power tools in damp or wet locations or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit and provide an
adequate surrounding work space.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to ensure 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.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Turn power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA
DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING
When changing bits, make sure tool is unplugged.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE
Be sure guards are in working order, properly adjusted,
and aligned.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN
ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well
lit. DO NOT work on or place router table legs on floor
surfaces that are slippery from sawdust, oil, water, or wax.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL
Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. It will do the job better and more safely at
the rate for which it was designed.
USE CLAMPS OR A VISE TO HOLD WORK WHEN
PRACTICAL
Using clamps or a vise to hold work is safer than using
your hand. It also frees both hands to operate the tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
Consult this manual for recommended accessories.
Follow the instructions that accompany the accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
ENSURE SAFETY OF OTHERS
Keep visitors and children a safe distance away from the
work area, especially when operating a power tool.
Visitors should wear the same safety equipment as the
operator.
