Routing
Safety guidelines
Before routing, please read and observe all safety guidelines.
WARNING: The Sabre is a high-speed cutting machine. Its use may be hazardous if
you do not observe the following precautions. These precautions are necessary for
the safe and efficient operation of the Sabre router.
WARNING: Do not store wet aluminum chips in a closed container and do not use
the vacuum hose to clean up wet aluminum. Wet aluminum produces hydrogen gas.
This gas may reach explosive concentrations when wet aluminum chips are stored
in a closed container.
♦
Only a trained operator should run the equipment.
♦
Wear protective eyewear, such as goggles or safety glasses, which cover the front and
sides of the face.
♦
Do not use the router in a damp or wet location.
♦
Do not store wet aluminum chips in a closed container.

During routing the Sabre moves quickly. Do not lean over the table. Stand in front of
the router table during system operations to provide easy access to the control pad
support and emergency stop switches.
