IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Always make sure the fence on your router table is
locked rmly into posion before each use
• Never overload the router beyond the expectaons of
the tool
• Be sure at least ¾ of the bit shank length is inserted
securely in to the router collet
• Never boom out the bit in the collet. Allow 1/16”
clearance between the shank and boom of the collet.
• Always rout in mulple passes when large amounts of
stock must be removed
• Use reduced rotaonal speeds for large diameter bits.
Below is approximate speeds for dierent bit sizes.
These values can change based on your specic
applicaon.
• Before operang any machinery or power tool, read
and understand all safety instrucons in the owners
manual that came with them
• If you do not have a manual, contact the manufacturer
and obtain one before using any power tool
• Always wear eye protecon compliant with ANSI
safety standards when operang power tools
• Always use proper guards and safety devices when
operang power tools and machinery.
• Carefully check router bits before each use. If
damaged or a defect is suspected do not use
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may catch
on tools or equipment
Unplug the tool or machinery when mounng or making any
adjustments
A) Personal Safety
i) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operang a tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
red or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medicaon.
Serious personal injury could result if complete aenon is not
given while operang power tools.
ii) Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are not
safety glasses. Safety glasses have specially constructed frames,
lenses and side shields for beer protecon.
iii) Use safety equipment. Use a face or dust mask when the
cung operaon is dusty. Safety equipment such as dust
masks, hard hats, non-skid safety shoes and hearing protecon
reduces personal injuries when used for appropriate condions.
If devices and tools allow for dust extracon and collecon,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
iv) Do not overreach. Keep proper foong and balance at all
mes. This allows for beer control of the power tool in
unexpected situaons.
v) Never stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the
tool ps or if the cung tool is unintenonally contacted.
vi) Secure workpieces. Use clamps or vises to hold work when
praccal. This is safer than using your hands and frees both
hands to operate the tools.
vii) Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Ensure you keep clothing, hair and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts. Roll up long sleeves to the elbow. Wear
protecve hair covering to contain long hair.
viii) Avoid accidental starng. Ensure the switch is in the o
posion before you plug it in. Carrying a power tool in you
hands with your nger on the switch or plugging in a power
tool that has the switch on is inving accidents.
ix) Remove any adjusng key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key le aached to a rotang part
of the power tool could result in personal injury.
B) Work Area Safety
i) Make your workshop child proof. Use padlocks, master
switches, or remove starter keys.
ii) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluer and/or dark areas
encourage accidents.
ii) Keep children and bystanders away while operang a power
tool. Complete aenon is required when operang a power
tool.
C) Electrical Safety
i) Ground electrical tools. If the tool is equipped with a three-
prong plug, it must only be plugged into a grounded three-hole
electrical outlet. If required, a qualied electrician can install
one. Never remove the third prong or modify the plug that is
provided in any way.
ii) Never expose a power tool to rain or wet condions. You will
increase the risk of electric shock if water enters the power
tool. iii) Using power tools in damp or wet locaons or
condions is extremely dangerous.
iv) Do not operate any power tool in an explosive atmosphere,
in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
can create sparks which may ignite the fumes or dust.
