operations you are attempting.
• Keep the Guard in place and in working
order.Always set the Guard no more than
1/4" above the workpiece.
• Keep your hands, fingers, and other parts
of your body at least 3" away from the
rotating bit.
• Use a Push Stick, Push Block, Feather
Board(s), fixtures, or other safety devices
to maneuver a workpiece into a rotating
bit. If a kickback occurs, these devices
help to protect your hands and fingers.

a nail, screw, or other foreign object, you
could be hit by pieces of metal or there
could be kickback.
• Do not "freehand" rout stock less than 12"
x 12" or equivalent.
• Support long boards and sheet materials

• Keep a firm grip on the workpiece at all
times and never hold the workpiece with
your hands in line with the Router Bit.
• Always use a Feather Board Assembly or
other devices to hold or guide narrow
workpieces. Also, use a long piece of
scrap stock to feed narrow workpiece
underneath the Guard to complete a cut.
• Cut with the grain of the wood instead of
against it. You will get a smoother cut and
the operation will be safer.
• Avoid standing in-line with the
workpiece being fed. In the event of a
kickback you could be hit.
• Feed the workpiece slowly. Use extra
care in routing workpieces that contain
figured grain of knots, as these may cause
kickbacks.

The workpiece must extend 5-1/2" away
from the router bit.

use a least one Push Block to help control
the workpiece firmly against the fence.
