SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Wear hearing protection during extended period of operation.
3. Handle the router bits very carefully.
4. Check the router bit carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace
cracked or damaged router bits immediately.
5. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before
operation.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Make sure the router bit is not contacting the workpiece before the trigger is pulled.
9. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed router bit.
10. Be careful of the router bit rotating direction and the feed direction.
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
12. Always release trigger and wait for the router bit to come to a complete stop before
removing the tool from workpiece.
13. Do not touch the router bit immediately after operation, it may be extremely hot and
could burn your skin.
14. Always place the power cord away from the tool and towards the rear.
15. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may
cause cracks in the tool base.
16. Make sure to use cutters of the correct shank diameter and suitable for the speed of
the tool.
WARNING: YOUR ROUTER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP CIRCUIT.
FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR
FIRE.
DOUBLE INSULATION TOOLS. Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric
power tools which eliminates the need for a three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s
Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.
IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. WHEN
SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS OR THOSE
RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
POLARIZED PLUGS: Your tool is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not change the plug in any way.
EXTENSION CORDS. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use
the following chartto determine the minimum wire gauge (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge)
extension cord. Only use polarized extension cords (one prong wider than the other) which
have 2-prong type plugs and 2-hole receptacles
which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the
electrical circuit box, the wire gauge must be
increased proportionately in order to deliver
ample voltage to the router
. Refer to chart for
wire length and size.
