GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
7. Additional Safety and working
Instructions
7.1. Dust from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metals
can be harmful to one’s health and cause
allergic reactions, leading to respiratory
infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
7.2. Prevent dust accumulation at the
workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
8. Additional Safety Warnings for
Router Tables
8.1 Read and understand table and router
manual and accessory warnings. Failure
to follow all instructions and warnings
may result in serious personal injury.
8.2 Fully assemble and tighten all
fasteners required for this table and for
mounting the router to the plate. Do not
use the router table until all assembly
and installation steps have been
completed.
Use the correct table rings in relation to
the size of the cutter block.
Check the table and the router to make
sure fasteners are still tight before each
use. A loose table is unstable and may shift in
use.
8.3 Make certain the router is not plugged
into a power outlet when installing into
the table, removing from table, making
adjustments or changing accessories.
Router could accidentally start.
8.4 Do not plug router motor power cord
into standard wall outlet. It must be
plugged into the router table switch.
Power tool switches and controls need to be
within your reach in emergency situations.
8.5 Before operating, make sure the
entire unit (table with router installed) is
placed on and secured to a solid, flat,
level surface and will not tip. Use of
auxiliary in‐feed and out‐feed supports is
necessary for long or wide work pieces.
Long work pieces without adequate support can
flip off the table or cause the table to tip over.
8.6 Be certain router motor is fully and
securely clamped in the router base.
Periodically check the base fastener
clamping tightness. Router motor can
vibrate loose from the base during use and fall
from table.
8.7 Do not use the router table without
the overhead guard or auxiliary bit guard.
Remove all dust, chips, and any other
foreign particles that can affect its
function. Adjust the guard height so that
it clears the router bit and the work piece.
The guard will aid in keeping hands from
unintended contact with rotating router
bit.
8.8 Never place your fingers near a
spinning bit or under the guard when
router is plugged in. Never hold the work
piece on the out‐feed side of bit. Pressing
the work piece against the out‐feed side of the
fence may cause material binding, and possible
kickback pulling hand back into bit.
