Router Safety Instructions

Operation Area

•Do not operate power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

•Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign objects.

•Never lay work piece on top of hard surfaces, like concrete or stone.

Use Safety Equipment

•Always wear eye protection that conforms to ANSI Standard Z87.1.

•To avoid possible hearing damage, always wear ear plugs when using your router for long periods

of time.

•Wear a dust mask. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding and drilling contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Personal Safety

•Use common sense when operating a power tool. Stay alert. Do not use tool if tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

•Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

•Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in.

•Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool ON.

•Do not overreach. Make sure your body is balanced at all times.

•Always secure work with clamps prior to using router.

•Never place hands near or below the cutting surface. Never hold the work piece in your hand while

using the tool. Make a push stick to move small work pieces across the cutting area.

•Never touch the bit during or immediately after use.

•Never put your fingers under the overhead guard when the router is plugged into an electrical outlet

or when the router bit is rotating.

•Never lay the tool down until the motor has come to a complete standstill.

Electrical Safety

•To prevent shock, hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation. Use extra

care when cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

WARNING

Read all Instructions

•Failure to follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Power Tool Safety Cont.

•Never carry tool by the power cord or use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away

from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.

•When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “WA” or “W”.

Router (Only) Use and Care

•Maintain tools with care. Never use dull or damaged bits. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

•Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.

•Never use bits that have a cutting diameter greater than the opening in the base.

•Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that

may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.

•After changing bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment

devices are securely tightened.

•Never start the bit while tool is engaged in the material.

•Always hold the tool in both hands during start-up.

•Always feed the work piece AGAINST the rotation of the cutter or router bit.

•Only use accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer of your router model.

•Clean router after use. The use of a wet/dry vacuum is recommended.

•Check the function of the guard before each use. Remove all dust, chips, and any other foreign

particles that can affect its function.

Router Table (Power Tool & Table) Use and Care

•Do not use this product until all assembly and installation steps have been completed. Make sure you

have read and understood all safety and operational instructions in this owner’s manual.

•Make sure that the router bit is properly positioned and clamped in the router before making any cuts.

•Before use and periodically during use, check all fasteners to make sure that all are tight and secure.

Fastenings can become loosened by vibrations during use.

•Do not use the router table as a workbench or work surface. Doing so may damage it, causing it to

be unsafe to use. A workbench should be used for this purpose.

•This product is designed for cutting flat woodwork pieces only. Do not attempt to cut work pieces

that are rounded or that are made from metal or any other non-wood material.

•Use auxiliary in-feed and out-feed supports when routing long work pieces to prevent the router table

from tipping over.

•Always make sure that the work surface of the router table is clean and free from dust, chips, and

foreign particles that can interfere with the cut you are going to make. The use of a wet/dry vacuum

is recommended. The fence that comes with the router table has a dust collector to which a wet/dry

vac can be attached.

Power Tool Safety Cont.

•Some routers, when positioned in an upside down position (such as on a router table), will drop or

fall out of the router base when the base clamp is loosened to adjust height and depth of cut.

Therefore, it is extremely important to support the router from below when making these adjustments

or whenever the base clamp is loosened.

•Always look at the router box switch box when turning the router ON or OFF. Never reach under the

router table for any reason when the router is running, except to turn it OFF.

•Before making any cut, make sure the router is turned OFF, the router bit is not rotating, and the

power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet. Then make a trial pass to be absolutely sure that

the overhead guard clears the router bit and the work piece.

•Never leave the router unattended while the router is running. Turn the router OFF before leaving the

table for any reason.

Service

•Always take tools to professionals for servicing. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified

personnel could result in risk or injury.

•Use only identical replacement parts.
