WARNING
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
– Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BENCH TOOLS
Keep guards in place and in working order.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
Don’t use in a dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations or
expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lit.
Keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
Make workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
Don’t force tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Use the right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Always use safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Disconnect tools before servicing or when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine whether it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, brakeage of
parts, mountings, and any other condition that may affect tool’s operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter only against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter.
Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn power off. Don’t leave the tool until it comes to
a complete stop.

SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE ROUTER TABLE
For your own safety, read owner’s manual before using Router or Router Table.
Always wear eye protection.
Lift router table only by the table edges. Lifting table by any other surface could cause
personal injury.
Do not use the router table until all assembly and installation steps have been
completed. Prior to each use, verify that fasteners and the router clamps are tight. A
loose table or router is unstable and may shift in use, resulting in property damage or serious
personal injury.
Disconnect the router from the power supply before installing router into the table,
making adjustments, changing accessories, removing the router from the table,
performing maintenance, or storing the tool. Such precautionary safety measures reduce
the risk of unintentional tool operation.
Do not plug router motor power cord into standard wall outlet. Always plug router cord
into the router table switch box. Power tool switches and controls need to be within your
reach in emergency situations.
Do not permit fingers to touch terminals on the plug when inserting or removing plug
from the outlet. Risk of Electric Shock.
Before connecting router or vacuum to router table switch box, ensure that the router
or vacuum switch is off and that the router table switch box is unplugged. Such
precautionary safety measures reduce the risk of unintentional tool operation.
Before using the router table, verify that the router is securely clamped to the router
table base. While working, periodically check the router base fastener clamping
tightness. Vibrations from cutting operations can cause router motor clamps to loosen and the
router motor may fall from the table.
Before starting to work, ensure that the power cords from the router accessories, the
switch box, and the extension cord do not and cannot come in contact with the router
or any moving parts of the router. Such precautionary safety measures reduce the risk of
injury due to loss of control.
Do not use the router table without the overhead guard unless required by a particular
cutting operation. Replace the guard immediately after completion of cutting operation.
Remove all dust, chips, and any other foreign particles that can affect its function. The
guard will aid in keeping hands from unintended contact with the rotating bit.
Do not use bits that have a cutting diameter that exceeds the clearance hole in the
tabletop insert plate or insert rings. The bit could contact the insert plate or insert ring,
throwing fragments.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more
force to push the workpiece, possibly causing the bit to break or the material to kick back.
Handle sharp bits with care. Such precautionary safety measures reduce risk of injury.
Do not alter insert ring or insert plate bit hole. Match the cutting diameter of the bit to
the inner diameter of the insert ring or insert plate bit hole such that the difference is
no less than 1/16” (1.6mm) on a side. Insert rings are meant to reduce the gap between the
cutting diameter of the bit and the table so that workpieces maintain full support of the table
while routing.
Install bit in accordance with instructions in the router manual. Securely clamp the
router bit in the collet chuck before making any cuts. Securing the bit before cutting
reduces the risk of the bit becoming loose during operation.

5
Never place your fingers near a spinning bit or under the guard when the router is
plugged in. Such precautionary safety measures reduce the risk of injury.
Never hold the workpiece on the outfeed side of the bit. Pressing the workpiece against
the outfeed side of the fence may cause material binding and possible kickback, pulling your
hand into the bit.
Guide the workpiece with the fence to maintain control of the workpiece. Do not place
the workpiece between the router bit and fence while routing the edge. This placement
will cause the material to become wedged, making kickback possible.
Only use routers for working with wood, wood-like products, plastic, or laminates. Do
not use router and router table for cutting or shaping metals. Be sure workpiece does
not contain nails or other hard objects. Cutting nails may cause loss of control of the tool or
workpiece.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit-cutting edge may grab
the material, causing loss of control of the workpiece.
Feed the workpiece only against the rotation of the bit. Do not “back feed” the
workpiece into the bit. The bit rotates counterclockwise as viewed from the top of the table.
“Back feeding” will cause the workpiece to “climb” up on the bit, pulling the workpiece and
possibly your hands into the rotating bit.
Do not feed the workpiece into the bit where the majority of the workpiece is between
the fence and the bit. This creates a “fence trap” which is a hazardous situation due to the bit
being exposed. This will cause the work to “climb-cut” away from the tabletop and may lead to
loss of control during operation.
Do not cut material that is warped, wobbly, or otherwise unstable. The router table is
designed to cut flat, straight, and squared materials. If the material is slightly curved
but otherwise stable, cut the material with the concave side against the table or fence.
Cutting the material with the concave side up or away from the table may cause the warped or
wobbly material to roll and kick back, causing the user to lose control.
Use auxiliary infeed and outfeed supports for long or wide workpieces. Oversize
workpieces without adequate support can ip off the table or cause the table to tip.
Use push stick, vertically and horizontally mounted featherboards (spring sticks), and
other jigs to hold down the workpiece. Push sticks, featherboards, and jigs eliminate the
need to hold the workpiece near the spinning bit.
Never let go of the workpiece when routing until the cut has been completed and the
workpiece is completely clear of the bit. Such precautionary safety measures reduce the
risk of injury and property damage. Featherboards aid in holding the workpiece in position
when routing on a router table. They are not intended to hold the workpiece in place alone
when the workpiece is in contact with the bit, or at any other time when the bit is turning.
Always hold the workpiece against the router table fence when routing. Such
precautionary measures increase accuracy in routing and improve control of the workpiece,
reducing the risk of injury.
Never leave the router unattended while it is running or before it comes to a complete
stop. Such precautionary safety measures reduce the risk of injury and property damage.
Do not use the table as a workbench or work surface. Using it for purposes other than
routing may cause damage and make it unsafe to use in routing.
Never stand on the table or use as a ladder or scaffolding. The table could tip or the cutting
tool could be accidentally contacted.
When servicing the tool, use only recommended SKIL replacement parts. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions can result in personal injury.

IMPROPER FENCE LOCATION AND WORKPIECE FEED
WARNING Do not feed the workpiece
where the majority of the
workpiece is between the fence and the bit.
This creates a “fence trap” which is dangerous
for two reasons:
• The front of the bit is exposed during the
cutting operation (Fig. A).
• The bit can “Climb-cut,” where the bit enters
the workpiece in the same direction as the
feed direction. This is likely to cause the
workpiece to “climb” away from the tabletop
and may lead to loss of control during
operation (Fig. A).
WARNING Feed the workpiece only
against the rotation of the
bit. Do not “back feed” the work into the bit.
The bit rotates counterclockwise as viewed
from the top of the table. “Back feeding” the
work is dangerous for two reasons:
• It will cause climb-cutting where the
workpiece can “climb” off the tabletop in
the direction of the bit rotation, pulling the
workpiece and possibly your hands into the
rotating bit (Fig. B).
• It is difcult to keep the workpiece against
the fence face as the bit rotation will push the
workpiece away from the fence.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING An extension cord with adequate size conductors that is capable of
carrying the current for your tool must be used. This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power, or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical cord
that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not t into the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation that has an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with qualied electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet (sketch B). The tool has a grounding
pin (sketch A). A temporary adapter (sketches
C and D) may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle (sketch C), if a properly
grounded outlet is not installed by a qualied
electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and
the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground, such as a
properly grounded outlet.
