Power Tool Safety Cont.
• Some routers, when positioned in an upside down position (such as on a router table), will drop or
fall out of the router base when the base clamp is loosened to adjust height and depth of cut.
Therefore, it is extremely important to support the router from below when making these adjustments
or whenever the base clamp is loosened.
• Always look at the router box switch box when turning the router ON or OFF. Never reach under the
router table for any reason when the router is running, except to turn it OFF.
• Before making any cut, make sure the router is turned OFF, the router bit is not rotating, and the
power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet. Then make a trial pass to be absolutely sure that
the overhead guard clears the router bit and the work piece.
• Never leave the router unattended while the router is running. Turn the router OFF before leaving the
table for any reason.
Service
• Always take tools to professionals for servicing. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in risk or injury.
• Use only identical replacement parts.
